Sounds like Ron Hickland getting new job

Sounds like he resigned at EBI.  Doesn't reveal what he is doing next.  Check his FB.

Sad hear!  Whenever I saw any of those guys on video they looked like they just loved what they did.

I can think of many impressive balls out of most of the lines that just rolled great.

If people aren't buying it.....well that's a problem that has to be remedied.  Profits allow for duds.  No profits means no mistakes possible!

I dont think they made duds but the market didn't react accordingly to their releases...and I feel like their world wide sales are bit as good as other brands...

I think their product lacked something that the others company had. Yea they're all bowling balls, but theres a reason why some preferred one company to another. Overseas I think they did better, they have a lot of people especially in korea who used ebonite for the longest time. Guess its just different

I think Hammer was the only brand under the umbrella that was keeping bowlers attention, followed by Columbia 300. Each brand had it's upside and their downside and sales reflect that.

I wanted a Phoenix too. After I stopped throwing Ebonite, I started throwing Track. Once EBI bought them, I lost interest.

I wanted a phoenix too.  The pro shop had one and I was like 14-15....by the time I saved up, they were gone.
