Just announced via Facebook Live. Not huge news, but interesting. I didn't see him moving from DV8.

The guy won 5 tournaments in about a year's time. The only thing gonna suit him better is more guaranteed cash.

The PBA tour is almost non-existent. Why over spend on a staff of players that a small fraction of bowlers would see?

If it was still in the 1990s I could see it still being a worth while expense.

   THIS

 Yea, some of us hard heads still try to keep up with it, but the general public? Nah.

 Last tournament I watched had maybe 50-75 people milling around in the place, and that included the staff.

 American bowlers are better known overseas than they are here anymore. Over there, bowling still seems to be considered a big deal, and bowlers revered as athletes, not looked at like oddities.

Because the PBA said so

Looks like Ryan is taking to the new Motiv balls pretty well in Arkansas today.

Lead the first squad by almost 200 pins over 8 games on Cheetah. Looks pretty good

I bet he loves the Ghost and Havoc

Someone made a statement that it didn't matter what company a pro was with they can win, well that is not exactly true. I remember Patrick Allen change companies and went with Track and he just could not get their balls to work for him and Patrick is and was very good.

I just bowled with Patrick Allen yesterday in a local Pro-Am.  Super nice guy and still a great bowler.  He was throwing a Storm Code Black.  He said he is going to try and bowl some regional tournaments soon and is currently running a pro shop in Northern New Jersey.

From "Made in Mexico" to "Made in USA". Ryan is better off right there.

*cough*  Also known as "Recalled from USA"...
