Bruce, why bother replacing the ball that was made in SA just because Phil made a business decision? Doesn't change the ball in your hands. I just ordered a HD and a Torrid, and it's going to be business as usual. I do not match up well to Brunswick shells, but what your saying is paramount to me saying "Hey, Ebonite bought Track, so I am getting rid of all of my old Track stuff!"
Heck, it was the opposite. I started hording stuff made then! If that's how you feel about Brunswick, I think Steve still has some SA poured gems.
