Thanks brunswick for moving bowling ball manufacturing to Mexico.
Now using 900 Global & AMF equipment, scoring higher than when I was using brunswick plus it's manufactured in America by Americans.

Now that Phil has left 900Global, are they even authorized to make a soaker coverstock?
Do they know the secret or does Phil have to authorize them to do this? and if he has to do that, will he?
Maybe one of your guys with an "in" at 900G should ask them in private about this??

I'm sure they know what it is, hasn't been used domestically since the S-75, but has been used in International releases according to Nick S

I agree the Break S75 is one of the best 900 Global ball I have ever bowled with. That is why I still have a new one saved for a rainy day 
Post by: qstick777 on February 17, 2011, 08:10:52 AM
Interesting. What numbers? The R.G., diff, and mid diff, or actual coverstock ratings?
Tekneek has the Integral Break Pearl listed on ebay, and it's listed as having the S70 cover.
Even so, as far as I know, the rating system is only a guideline to rate the aggressiveness, so S70 (on the Integral Break, or even the Profit) doesn't even mean it is the same cover as the original Break, or Break Pearl.
S75 doesn't tell us anything other than it should be more aggressive than the S70 or even the S73 of the Bank. And even then, it really doesn't mean much because as 900Global (and AMF) like to point out - "
Core dynamics must be taken into account with shell strength when selecting equipment."
None of us would have known that the Break S75 was a "soaker" unless they came out and told us. The only clue is from the description "The Break S75 shell is more aggressive, featuring a new absorbent coverstock technology designed to move oil rapidly away from the surface, enhancing an already high friction coverstock."
They can't use "soaker" because they don't own the rights to that name......which really surprises me that they didn't attempt to create a new trademark/copyright name for the cover and/or technology.
As stated before, "soaker" is considered a "super cover" with the benefit that it seems to get stronger with use - the opposite of most oil absorbing covers.
Post by: tekneek on February 17, 2011, 09:26:34 AM
Soaker is an additive not a cover, never patented, trademarked, unless it has been done recently, I assume it can not be done since it is possibly a chemical compound, ISO, or another unnamed "ingredient". My info came from the D/T era, was told it was an additive and its cost was not condusive to be used in anything but high end equipment meaning expensive ingredient !!! Does Ebo own the rights to the "Soaker" as a marketing feature, can't answer that one, I suppose they might, do they own the ingredient, no a chemical manufacturer made it so they own it possibly BASF, Bayer, Dupont can't answer that one either.

Post by: qstick777 on February 17, 2011, 11:56:22 AM
Yes, an additive. I wasn't referring to the technology of "soaker," strictly the name. I tried to find the old threads about this discussion, but haven't been able to. Seems that some stuff disappeared after the upgrade, possibly having to do with threads from people that are no longer users....so maybe that is why I can't find them.
Anyways, what was basically said (I believe by Phil) was that Ebonite now owned the name "Soaker," so it couldn't be used.....same thing with "SuperFlex." Now, if you know what to order, you can call up BASF and order "SuperFlex," you just can't call it "SuperFlex." Same thing with "Soaker." If you know what chemicals and amounts to order you can have it made......or buy it and mix it in house.
It was likened to the formula for Coca-Cola or the Colonel's blend of spices. You don't want to patent it because then you have to publish the ingredients and way to make it. Better to keep it a secret, to which Phil said he still had the "recipe" and we would see it again......and we did.
I guess my point was, I'm surprised that 900Global didn't trademark/copyright a name for the S75 cover.....maybe something like "Absorbz" or "Spongz" or something like that. I'm guessing it had something to do with staying consistent with the cover naming scheme (all numbers) instead of coming up with stuff like "Activator," "Traxion Reactive," "GB," and so on.
As it stands now, we don't know if any release has the special "additive" unless they tell us.
Now whether Phil is the ONLY person that knows how to make "soaker," that is a different story.

Maybe you guys will have to buy a Radical ball to get the Soaker coverstock??
Phil posted this over on the Radical topic in the OTHER company forum:

Thanks for the support guys, I'm sure we will have some fun with the new stuff. I'm also sure some "soaker" will reappear. First ball will be out soon. Asym. .020 mid diff. Pearl. Details to follow.....Going Radical"
