Then there is this:

I think this will be a huge week for big bowling. It's nice to have a new product getting ready to launch that is drawing interest. We need more of that in this sport not less. Cant wait. 3 weeks till nationals

Anyone taking bets on the over/under "death date"?

Before ball #5.

What I wonder is if Page and Ciminelli have enough skin in the game to not bail if the balls roll like wet ass on tour conditions.

I agree that this has the markings of a huge failure that we have seen before. However....if the company makes a few good products and stays in business will all of you eat your crow???

Motiv was already in the bowling business when they started making balls.

Sure.  They overcome the first two lack luster looking releases to be successful would say a lot.

Who's pouring their stuff?

they are all in house. From engineering to finish. Usbc now has the first 2 approvals on usbc site with pics

And Mr. Chrisman was also in the bowling business when he started making balls. 

Building relationships with distributors so they will buy your product is very difficult.  If you are a distributor are you going to spend your money with some unknown or are you going to buy more Storm balls?  Building relationships with pro shops is even harder.  Is a shop going to bring in these balls and have to convince a customer to try them or will they sell the customer a Storm or Hammer they are asking for?  If they try the direct to consumer method then they piss off pro shops from the start and will have a very difficult time turning that around.
