Doug Kent Not with Ebonite anymore???
« 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?

The eventual demise of the V2 Solid/Sanded which rumors keep floating around about.  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.

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.

Speaking with a regional player that is close to Doug Kent said that it is true that Ebonite did not renew his contract.
