Title: Doug Kent Not with Ebonite anymore???
Post by: Next Level PS on May 27, 2005, 01:17:16 AM: Is it true that he resigned from Big E because of the V2 solid issue and for not having ball reps on tour?

I have heard discontinue/color change, meh not sure what thye are going to do only they know for sure. I seriouslyu doubt they will take there BEST ball of all time off the shelf permenantly though. I know many staffers who throw V2's more than any other balls Ebonite has and its always there goto ball. I reallt see them yanking it for a color change only for some additional shelf appeal, the way they have gone with colors lately the old black/blue just don't cut it, but I also know staffers and Big E people that hate bright colors and thats another reason they love the V2 so much the way it is.

Post by: Next Level PS on May 27, 2005, 09:30:43 AM: I heard from a reliable source that the new V2 solid has not been the same for years. from what I hear Ebonite has taken out a very important additive because it is very expensive and they did not tell the tour players and the public.
