That's the point though. New stuff now, new stuff coming at Bowl Expo, and they won't miss that chance, even if Expo is cancelled probably. So Axiom, Redemption, etc, etc, will be basically untested and up against the next cycle, right?

As you can see the Expo has been cancelled.  So there are going to be questions left unanswered until the virus gets under control.  However; if it were me, I would sort of combine the 2 cycles.  Maybe the summer cycle you would not produce the usual amount of new balls to introduce and instead, you take balls like the Axiom, Authority, Outlook, Latitude, and others and add a few to go along with them?  It's hard to say.  But at the end of the day; there are those balls that were released in January and February that need to be pushed even if at some discount.  Otherwise I don't see how you could introduce several new rocks with so many "older" ones still sitting around unsold.  I know from having worked at a distributor that balls goes on closeout lists almost monthly to make room for the new releases.  But I can't see balls only having been on the market for 3 months already going on that list just to make room for a new cycle.  Those balls like the Redemptions need to see the light of day and ball companies, especially Ebowick, need the opportunity to get a return on the time and money invested into producing those balls.  Whatever the case may be; I am sure CEOs like Mr. Chrisman will make an intelligent decision in the coming weeks as to what direction they are going to go in.
