The Power Machine has drawn much attention in my area. Having Big Wes be able to use it on the show has been great to see as well.
Not sure exactly of Phil's intentions on releases but being a shop owner, we have communicated to all manufacturers to slow down on releases. Too many balls on the market isn't always good for sales or the consumer. Do you buy every latest ipod, cell phone..etc? That causes a burden to the store in inventory which then also causes a burden to distributors. If you haven't sold out of one item and have to stock the next one in a month?...very tough thing to do.
It takes me about a good month to see how well a ball works for the bowling community so if I get another release right after that, it makes it difficult to help my customers properly to make sure it will fit into their game. Which do you prefer, quantity or quality?
