I have a theory about Ebonite right now and was just wondering what everyone else thinks...I feel as though Ebonite knows they have a BIG name in bowling and that their equipment will sell just because of the name Ebonite. Because of this I feel as though they are spending much more time on their other companies such as Hammer, Columbia, and Track.

I think that they have made much more effort to make the new great equipment this year through Hammer and Columbia. I kind of feel as though the actual Ebonite equipment is being left behind right now. I know they just came out with the CNV but is that honestly that much of a different ball than the TNV. They came out with the Gamebreaker and Raid, which both were tweaked older balls and have came out with nothing all NEW all season.

I have found myself having no interest in Ebonite right now. Usually I would be really excited about a new ball release like the CNV but I can find any enhusiasm for it right now. I think Ebonite is actually falling behind the other companies including the ones it owns and I feel as though they are fine with that, because they still sell.

I have also heard that Tommy Jones has not been happy with the new equipment on the PBA patterns, I am not sure how true that is but he hasn't had a great season either.
