The 2014 staff changes have begun
« on: April 12, 2014, 12:19:49 AM »
Staff changes for 2014 have began in a big way.  Ronnie Russell has left DV8 and is now a part of Motiv.  Read it here:  https://twitter.com/MotivBowling/status/452189864667013120

Motiv Bio:  http://www.motivbowling.com/motivnation/our-athletes/pba-tour/ronnie-russell.html

This is pretty interesting, seeing that he has been with Brunswick and then DV8 for most or all of his career from what I remember.  But, I have to say that Motiv has been expanding it's pro staff the last few years and they've really beefed up their talent.

Radical has announced that Mike DeVaney is their first ever pro staffer.  Ever since becoming a sister company to Brunswick, they now have full registration.  DeVaney used their balls during the PBA League.

The Ronnie Russell change was fairly new, but I think Mike DeVaney has been a pro staffer for Radical for a while now?

In other recent news, DV8 also dropped Mike Machuga from the list of pros that they sponsor.

I dont care who throws the ball in any new ball release video as long as it looks good going down the lane. As far as staff goes for PBA events I'd never know they existed thanks to other programming.

I believe you have to use the equipment that fits your game and let's you win money!! It may be cool to be on staff, but that doesn't put money in the bank if you don't match up! Just my $.02, Bruce
