Ronnie didn't know anything that others much more important then him knew. It was a huge blindside. The industry is shrinking. Bowlers refuse to believe it# of league bowlers is shrinking in the US and I guess they buy majority of the balls. I thought there is some solid growth overseas though. Whatever pretty obvious EBI management was shit. Its not like they didn't have balls people wanted. The problem is the owners of EBI are a bigger entity than EBI. Owning Gap,Pac Sun, Victoria Secrets ect. Even those companies profits are down so something has to go that being EBI.These people are not bowlers they don't have as much passion like we do. Amazon, walmart and other online big companies are changing the landscape of purchasing. Malls are loosing stores like crazy, especially in smaller areas.. The game is changing rapidly..This, retail/brick & mortar are dying a rapid death, to be honest, I dont know how some pro shops keep the doors open.

I know some storm guys who would love to get their hands on Purple Hammers. Gotta think the same for Brunswick guys
Quote from: avabob on November 19, 2019, 02:12:52 PMI know some storm guys who would love to get their hands on Purple Hammers. Gotta think the same for Brunswick guys Not Parker Bohn. I recently watched a short interview of him where he said he had no need for Urethane. He specifically said that Urethane was the domain for the real heavy handed guys, which wasn't his game. Just like most of us. Of course, except for some shorter pattern situations, he's absolutely correct. Most bowlers will see more benefit from a specialized low differential Reactive like the Hammer Web Tour or the Brunswick Phantom. You get a good Urethane like reaction without needing a 400+ rev rate to make it happen.
