I thought Missy was exclusively with Ebonite when did she go to Columbia?

Missy has a 4 brand contract with EBI.  She had stuff from Columbia, Ebonite, Track and Hammer in the arsenal for the show last week.  However, she almost exclusively threw the Columbia 300 Omen and for 1-2 shots at the end of her match, the Track 811 C/T.

Unless it recently changed, if you were EBI tour staff, you could use any brand in qualifying on the show you had to use the company you are signed under.

As far as I know, that is still the case.  For example, Fagan had been using some stuff from Hammer during qualifying of the WSOB.  However, he throws Track exclusively on the shows.

with her game she could use all the help she can get.

Wow, really?

I think there's a reason she's out there competing, and we're...not.

EBI Staff:

Mika K.
Mike Wolfe
Josh Blanchard
Missy
Dino Castillo (semi special case since he actually works for EBI, but has opportunity to throw all brands even outside of "the Tour")
Shannon P (special case)

Other than that, the "Touring A" guys throw all brands under the umbrella during qualifying (as well as among any non PBA tournaments. i.e. Fagan throwing a Red Hammer at the Proprietors Cup a few months back), upon making a show they throw the particular company they signed with (unless they officially signed as an "EBI").

Ray,

I think he was talking NOT about her ability, but about her spinner type of release and low rev rate. She always seems to use stronger and earlier revving balls than most others bowling on the same lanes and oil. (Of her bowling ability, no one can have any doubt.) That was a Cheetah pattern and she was using what most people would consider to be a ball that handles at least medium-heavy oil for the average bowler.

It's not unusual on tour for many to use stronger equipment so it burns up earlier...blends the lane out front to back

Ah yes, that would make sense.  Sorry if I misunderstood.

That probably explains why Missy leans towards layouts where the pin is below the fingers and uses lower surface grits on her equipment. Rarely have we seen her use pearlized balls on tv, one example would be a women's series telecast where she used an old Classic Zone (red pin) with the pin above the bridge...unfortunately it was her lowest score on tv to date, 147.
