Let the 2018-2019 Staff Changes Begin
« on: May 30, 2018, 05:56:30 PM »
It's the time of year where we start hearing of some staff changes.  As of today, the most recent changes are:

- Shannon O'Keefe switched to Hammer/EBI (many of you already knew that)
- Bryanna Cote switched to Storm (was with Track/EBI)
- Gabriella Mayfield switched to Motiv (was with Brunswick/DV8)
- Natalie Goodman has joined Motiv (her fiance EJ Tackett of course is with Motiv)

As of the past 48 hours, the most recent change is:
- Connor Pickford has decided to leave Roto Grip (announced on his Facebook page)

In Connor's case, it makes me wonder if he's looking to head back to Motiv or if he'd be looking at EBI or Brunswick.  Only time will tell.

Very valid and pretty relevant point there.

Sometimes a player leaving a brand has nothing to do with the equipment and everything to do with the player support that they receive from the ball reps. While I do not know Connor Pickford personally, I can only imagine how long the wait is for a second set of eyes behind the PDW, Duke, Belmo, Jesper, & the other 10-12 high profile pros on Storm/Roto staff.

That would be an interesting game/exercise - a tournament where all the staff is bowling, with only one ball rep per brand, what is the hierarchy of assistance?

DP3, is that your order of priority for Storm?  PDW, Duke, Belmo...hell, you didn't even mention Kent!

Any takers? For Roto, would it have gone - Malott, S. Williams, Pickford? Big B - Bohn, WRW, Sterner?

Rash would have to be in there for Big B, though he's now throwing all three brands on TV.

Does it matter? I feel like the shows are storm/roto dominant! Lol
