Following up on Phil's comments, anybody see in the latest BJ -
- Ebonite announces that they are cutting back on ball introductions - to stop the madness! - THAT THEY HELPED CREATE.
- The ball review column did not name a ball of the year, because there aren't any balls out there long enough to get wide acceptance before they are replaced by a new introduction.
The big companies have attempted to drive out the little guys by introducing ball after ball to try and cover every market niche ..... like big companies do in other industries. But bowlers (hard to believe) are too smart to believe the hype ... the smaller companies like Dynothane, AZO, Lane #1, MoRich, RotoGrip etc. have their following and will survive, so I guess Ebonite, for one, is giving up their old business model.
Congrats to Phil and the entire DT staff!
PS - Phil was going to design something, but not a bowling ball, he was probably going to design a putting stroke that will hold up under pressure, unlike last year's 18th hole debacle at the Wind Watch .......
