He's a special one, Phil, has a bone to pick with our brands. That's ok, that's his right.

You'd think the figurehead for a company would have some tact and decorum.

Marketing gonna market.

With so many resources, I wish video of every shot was taken. I would watch the raw footage out of pure curiosity.

wish we could but 20 games on 4 different balls took us several weeks because of reoiling etc. the video is about a 3 month project.

Thank you. But using between 1200 and 1500 is a big gap. Apparently I'm easily impressed.  But I am open minded. Once again thank you for your input and insightful comments. I think we have worn this topic out.
Good luck to you. And have a Happy Thanksgiving
it varies based upon the pads being used. For being in the business as long as you have, I'm surprised that you don't know more about cover stocks

I guess you don't consider this snide and disrespectful?

How many top guys for ANY company spend any time here?  Phil is attacked and cannot respond?

No matter what they say it's called "marketing" or "unprofessional" or whatever...  And then people will complain that key people from the companies never spend any time here...

I've used a few Radical balls, and currently use the Primo regularly.  Good stuff to compliment my already good stuff... 

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! 

In this world of serious terroristic threats and serious problems globally, at least all we have to argue about is which ball to use tonight.   Many of us will celebrate some of life's luxuries without a worry tomorrow in our comforts among loved ones.  We are truly blessed.

Great vid no matter how much someone has to complain that it must be dishonest somehow.

The end results that most bowlers do not know, and many pso do not know, or often understand is how quickly bowling ball surfaces change over a period of a few games and the affect it can have on the bowling ball.

Look how often bowlers post on here, other forums, and now fb about the ball not lasting very long and losing hook and blaming it on everyone or everything but in most cases its the bowlers fault. Most of todays higher performance bowling balls with some surface require more maintenance to keep box reaction then any other product series they may throw.

Typically the bowler throws it till it doesn't hook the whole lane like it use to then start complaining. Plenty of pso miss this opportunity for profit on bowling ball maintenance and go to well how about ball A, X, or Z instead?

Not every ball is the biggest hooking ball on the market. Not every bowler needs the biggest hooking ball on the market.......but most do want that or so they think.

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

This article from 2 years ago states that the Yeti had a true surface grit of around 5135.

Whose to say I didn't learn something from this experiment? I never really thought about the ending grit, just the process to get a ball to factory. In some cases, a consumer would have no idea how to get back to OOB. For instance, a guy buys a Menace, throws it 10 games and wants to bring it back to factory so he hits it with a 3000 pad. It won't be the same since there's obviously some steps missing.

Having all the high tech tools available has sparked my curiousty and imagination. I plan to follow up with a surface scan and coverstock maintenance videos geared towards consumers.

I'm hooked.

We have shown the surface steps for as long as I have been with Brunswick.

AGREED!!  I spend PLENTY of time bringing back reaction on balls from all companies, and enjoy the response of satisfied bowlers who thought their ball was dead.  Routine maintenance is the key to these high tech balls performing at optimum levels.

We were having a great peaceful day and then I decided to let the ball reviews forum know about our video. Apparently this was a mistake. Maybe we should think twice about sharing our info on this site. Maybe this is why the industry leaders don't come on here. I will discuss with the staff and decide if it's worth the consents badgering we get when we come here to share. Just my opinion.
