Ryan Ciminelli to Motiv
« on: June 02, 2017, 01:03:37 PM »
Just announced via Facebook Live. Not huge news, but interesting. I didn't see him moving from DV8.

Why not?

 After all, he's in it for the money. If his contract was up, and their offer was better.............

To rephrase that, since my remark was similar, I'm surprised DV8/Brunswick didn't make him an offer that he couldn't refuse. Their pro staff isn't exactly in the greatest shape and Ryan is/was one of the more recognizable guys on the top.

Who knows, it could have been other factors than money on Ciminelli's end, but this is a weird non-move by the company.

I'd agree Motiv offered a better contract similarly to why Tom Daugherty left Storm for EBI. With all the major ball manufacturer's developing terrific equipment combined with the amount of skill touring players like Ciminelli have, it really makes no difference what company they are on staff with, they can win with anything. It's just a matter of how much $$ each company is willing to sign them to or perhaps offer a few added perks to sweeten the deal? i.e not do as many clinics or travel promotion

Brunswick no longer has the bowling and boats to subsidize the bowling balls so there's no chance an all or nothing guy like Ciminelli was getting a big offer.

I was about to say that this Brunswick is not the Brunswick we used to know. For all we know this new Brunswick might not want any staffers except Parker and JP and given today's environment, I fear for their contract.

I think Parker is, or was, their East Coast salesman, so he's actually hitting the streets when he's not bowling.

And Rash, if either of those two left id be beyond shocked.

It's official on the Motiv site:
http://www.motivbowling.com/motivnation/our-athletes/pba-tour/

I have to say, that's a pretty good staff that they've put together in the past few years.
