Phil-

With the news of brunswick getting out of the bowling industry how does this effect you and Mo since your equipment is poured by them?  Phil- If I recall, you started Track, Dynothane, back to Track and and was also part of the origination of 900 Global.  This bowling entity that Brunswick stated they hired, will this be something that both you and Mo will be apart of? 

Reason I am asking is that your equipment was good when 900 Global was pouring but when you got involved with Brunswick and also Mo, that escalated the brand to greater heights and I would hate for that to change but I know change is usually inevitable.

With Brunswick investing in Radical. Who knows what will happen with the new owners! Edited for bad choice of words! With Brunswick being involved in so many different divisions from marine, billiards, exercise equipment, etc.. It makes it hard to satisfy stock holders in a large corporation. Other ball manufacturers don't have these limitations and are more free with decisions! I apologize to Newguy for my poor choice of words. I agree that things will only get better for all the brands in the company!

Wow!
First off the Radical Brand is licensed to Brunswick. I still own it. Secondly there is basically no change in the day to day operation of the Brunswick business except for the Retail side (Bowling centers) Brunswick Corporation wanting to exit the business is a strategic move based on their sale of the Centers. Having said that, they want to sell the Capital side and the consumer side, the new owners, who ever they sell it to, are getting a very profitable and viable business. The only change would be that the company will no longer be owned by corporate. This is great because we currently have to play by a different set of rules than the other ball companies play by since Brunswick is publicly traded.
We will see no changes and operations are going on as usual. our plans are to continue to grow the brand at the rate we have experienced thus far.
I have no intention of starting up any additional companies, so no I wont be working to redo Morich.
Not sure what the comment meant" Brunswick bailing out Radical", we set up an arrangement that was a win win for both parties, it was a great opportunity for both companies, especially Radical since it was a huge improvement on manufacturing and R&D side and offered unlimited resources for product development. 
So we need to wait and see where the Sale ends up, we will be around for a long time, that I assure you. But Guys, please avoid speculation, lets get the fact straight before we start posting, there are several incorrect post made in this thread alone, do the research before you post, we don't need any rumors, especially in an industry like this.
Thanks
Phil

Thanks newguy. Very helpful.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Short Version:

It means nothing at this time

Long Version:

It means nothing at this time but who knows what new owners would want to do. It is impossible to speculate at this time.

End Result:

Keep on keepin' on.

As with any merger, sale, re-org there are always changes. Some are known up front, and some will reveal themselves over time as long term plans evolve. No company would EVER share 100% of its plans, but that also does not mean there is doom and gloom ahead. You just have to be patient and make the choices that are right for you.
