2023 Staff Changes
« on: January 03, 2023, 11:57:52 AM »
Hammer signed a ton of new folks:

1. Marshall Kent from Big Bowling
2. Anthony Lavery-Spahr from Swag
3. Lauren Pate from Storm
4. Kevin McCune from Motiv
5. Trevor Roberts from Storm

I don't know if they signed these guys from other staffs or if they were free agent signings:

1. Nate Stubler
2. Carlos Granados (won RPI 2021)


Quite the haul!!!

Nate was already with Hammer, just elevated to National staff as he’s going on tour full time this year. He’s an incredibly good lefty from my area.

Some ladies staff movement happened as well with Taylor Bailey and Shannon Sellens jumping over to storm staff from hammer.

Not a lot of movement on the men’s side of things, most big names had multiple year deals that covered this year.

Mike -

Personally, and from being on staff many moons ago, I know many things go into a contract, but I cannot believe McCune left you guys after the year he had. He was en fuego for what seemed like all year. But it is what it is.

So does the Marshall Kent move mean Big Bowling is officially Big Done?

They’re no longer on the PBA approval list.

I think so. Heard that Victor Marion might be/has been working with Big B and is somewhat behind their HK22 coverstock blitz across their brands.

Although there is no official word from my distributor, every Big Bowling ball is priced at $75 right now through my distributor, way off the normal price. My assumption is they are done as well at this point.

Wonder why Trevor Roberts jumped ship from Storm as he had a pretty decent year winning a few Regionals.  Kind of a shock to me.

I assume most feel they can win with anything and want to maximize potential earnings.

I also wonder if Daugherty had some influence on this as well.
