I HIGHLY doubt it.  Where will the competition be?  Ebonite will monopolize the industry!

This is very true, in addition storm has agreed to sign under Ebonites contract just as Hammer did. Now the only 2 real competitors is Ebonite International and Banger Bowling... imagine that.

Someone I know just came and told me that the PBA has signed a deal with Coca-Cola to be the new major sponsor.  And that next years events will all have a minimum prize fund of $1,000,000, and majors will have a $5,000,000 prize fund.  And also all broadcasts will be aired live in prime time on NBC.

Someone told me.  So it must be true.

So the next ball will have an Ebonite core and a Brunwick cover and be called the Ebowick VISTA, right?

Is that true? Storm is going to be with Ebonite now. I was looking forward to buying more storm equipment but if thats the case, then I'll be moving to Lanemasters then. I never bowled good with any of ebonites coverstocks and was bowling great with storms coverstocks. I like brunswick too but if they are going to ebonite, then screw them too. I think it might just be a rumor, at least i hope so. If not, Lanemasters here i come.

It's not the lane nor the ball,
    ITS OPERATOR ERROR......

If you live by that motto, you'll be the man.

Brunswick is a massive beyond massive company, a very small part of which makes bowling balls . . Brunswick will either keep making balls, or stop making balls, there will be no buyouts, especially by a company whose only business is bowling.  I can see Storm being bought by somebody, but I doubt that will be in the near future.
