Balldoc,
I would love to have made it, but I made a couple of key mistakes in scheduling my summer.  Going to Reno for nationals the end of june and to vegas to help run a tournament in the middle of july left no time available for me to make it to Hoptown.  I hope it sucks so I don't fell like I missed out.  

Just joking.  I am sure this is going to be an experience for all in attendance.

No, I leave for Reno that Tuesday to bowl nationals.  I have a lot to learn when scheduling my summers.  I could have flown to Vegas Tuesday and went to the Ebonite showcase and then flown on the nationals, but I didn''t think about it until I had already booked my flight.

First day was a success.Over 100 Pro Shop guys and girls.
Gary Parsons, Bill Mounce, Mike Riggins, Leon Lamm, we are not
short of names.
We saw balls made from liquid to polish, WOW.
Saw an overseas Mission, and a new ball to be announced later.
If you have ever called Ebonite in the last many years, you spoke
to Vivian Craft, well I met her.
Ebonite and Track balls reviewed and tested today.
Great ribs and cold beverages were in order.
Columbia and Hammer tomorrow.

I'll tell ya, the Vital Sign is the real deal. Threw it yesterday during the demo, and lost to it today during the first step ladder match of the EBI Sweeper. I used my Jigsaw Trap for the two games of qualifying to go +95, yea they were tough lol...

The 607ASE was good. Well let me just say all the products were good but for the releases coming up, I'd have to rank the brands as 1) Hammer 2) Track 3) Ebonite and 4) C300...all are really close to each other but IMHO, that's my assessment...I hope the next time they do this event more pro shops participate! This is going to help pro shops across the country

You sure made 19 and 20 look easy. Omega Shirt won the sweeper with  track 607.  
Oh, besides the Grand, he took the demo ball home.
Jeff Mr Hammer went 290, 270 something. He was hammering them down.
