What do you think is next for Ebonite
« on: July 01, 2013, 11:37:48 AM »
I'm thinking that before fall leagues start up that Ebonite will come out with a strong solid or hybrid ball in either the high performance or mid performance category. I would like to see a hybrid with the Champion core.

I bet they come out with 5 or 6 new releases before the upcoming season...

And they will all be quickly forgotten about, like all of the new Ebonite equipment is.

Cynical, but probably true.

What I think should be next for Ebonite is to figure out how to solve their ball rep drain and attrition. Something isn't right there to have 15 and 20-year ball reps jump ship. Something has changed both company-wide and product-wide that Ebonite is out of flavor for people. They need to resolve that as well as throw something solid out for use, otherwise Ebonite may only be sold overseas; hopefully it doesn't go the way of MoRich.

BL.

I don't disagree, they have a really good ball in the Persevere, Champion, Challenge and from all reports the new Source. But I think they have really disappointed a lot of people with there product line until these balls.

Their next step is to figure out how to market their product.

They are the "boring" company now. As mentioned new balls are quickly forgotten because there is no hype. No pomp or circumstance.

Just......blah.

#bowlitforward.   Much stronger back end reactions. Fewer arc and even rolling.

I think this its very true. The other three brands have really shined but Ebi has been less then stellar.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.
