So we're about to start the 2015-2016 season and already some changes have happened.
- Anne Marie Duggan has left Storm/Roto Grip and joined Brunswick.
- Liz Kuhlkin joined Hammer earlier in the year. She was throwing Columbia 300 as recently as 2013.
- Brittni Hamilton joined Hammer after being with Motiv.
- Connor Pickford left Motiv and is now a free agent.
- Craig Nidiffer also left Motiv and is now a free agent.
- Nathan Bohr and Aaron Lorincz both joined Motiv. Both were previously free agents.
- Shawn Maldonado, Danielle McEwan and Jodi Woessner are now part of the Storm national staff.
- Patrick Allen who was a free agent is now part of Roto Grip.
- Ron Mohr on the PBA50 tour joined Roto Grip after being with EBI.
- Eric Forkel left Storm and joined Brunswick.
- Wesley Low Jr. signed with Storm. He is going to be one to watch for sure.

- Jack Jurek joined 900 Global recently after being a free agent usually throwing Storm/Roto Grip.
-
all those that were smart - joined ROTO GRIP / STORM
-
I heard somewhere that Craig is with 900 global and just got his 3rd regional title using there stuff.
-
So bowlers are loyal to money and their next contract. Probably because they are that good.
-
Motiv's staff just got bigger. Jesse Buss joined in late August after being with Hammer/Track.

Craig is a free agent, just has been using some of our stuff lately with pretty good success!
-

On top of that, Motiv now has Gary Faulkner Jr (used EBI previously with his college team), and Patrick Girard returned to Motiv after being with Hammer for the past few years.
Here's some other notable signings.
- Ryan Shafer signed an extension to stay at EBI.
- Belmo signed an extension to stay at Storm.
- Rookie Kamron Doyle signed with Track.
- Rookie Jakob Butturff, along with Sam Cooley and Andrew Cain are all using 900 Global.
-
Tom Hess is no longer with Radical. He is a free agent.
-
Tom Daugherty and Shannon Pluhowsky are now with EBI.
-
Connor Pickford is officially with Roto Grip and Kyle Troup to Storm.
-
Simonsen is with Roto i believe also.
-
Tom Daugherty and Shannon Pluhowsky are now with EBI.
I thought something was a little different when I saw Shannon at the Team USA trials last night wearing a hammer jacket

That very question was asked in the live stream's chat room during last two days of qualifying, which it was answered there.
Additionally, Tom Daugherty and Mike Wolfe have joined Hammer's staff.

It's basically like Shannon Pluhowsky returned home to EBI after a few years with Storm/Roto. I still remember her streak on the Women's Series back in 2009 using Hammer and C300. Those balls rolled very nicely for her.

Big surprise staff change coming...
-
Brunswick announced they added Dan MaClelland to the national staff this morning
-
That's not it
I said BIG
-
Outside of Weber/Belmonte leaving storm or Bohn leaving Brunswick, nothing would shock me or be "big".
-
Pickford is on Roto Grip's National Staff as of now too.
-
Unless "BIG" Wes is moving companies. Hence the word "BIG"..
-
I don't know big names but I could see Tommy Jones or Bill O'Neill moving away from Ebonite. I could also see Rash leaving Brunswick.
-
Dom Barrett leaving Storm?
-
Most people don't know who Dom Barrett is, only one listed is Tommy Jones that would make me pause, only because I feel, that Ebonite has held him back.
-
I initially thought TJ as well. Wonder who it is?
-

I could definitely see Rash leaving Brunswick for Motiv
-
It's gotta be one of the long time greats. Pdw, Duke, bohn, or one of the big boys currently like belmonte or rash
-
Let's go detectives get to work!!!!!
Cant be my boy sean rash.
-
did a quick look on the ball company sites, didn't see any big changes yet.
-
My guess would be Chris Barnes.
-
Dom is off the storm site heard that might leave in january. Tj i was told, not confirmed, was talking with another company.
I doubt rash would leave brunswick too much money for anyone to compete paying
-
Dom not on the storm site must be the giveaway
-
Grimace is going to Burger King. Said he wants it his way, and that no one likes Ronald.
-
if its dom I wouldnt say thats big news tho...
-
Lets get Jesse Ventura to investigate!
Maybe a company is folding......???
-
The suspense is killing me :P :P :P
-
It's O.J. Simpson signing on with Hammer for the New Slash- Mak'n Widows line. Just cut here _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
-
Belmo to Visionary? #justkidding
-
Dom Barret resigned from storm
https://www.11thframe.com/news/article/8252/PBA-superstar-Dom-Barrett-leaving-Storm-Products-staff
-
O.k. It's Lords of the Field Dom Barrett.... :o :o :o ;D
-
Rico - Is Dom who you were talking about, or is there someone else we have yet to find out about?
-
Who did or is he going to sign with?
-
It's Ben Carson, He pulled out and did not endorse another Republican. He is changing sides. There you have it!
-
Nope it's Walter Ray returning to Ebonite resurecting the Earl Anthony signature Magnum Series. All hail #1 and #2
-

Looks like Dom is going with Track/EBI.
-
It's official, Track just posted it on their facebook page. That's a pretty big signing for EBI, he has been on fire lately.
-
Hmm, wonder why he resigned.
Tore Torgersen seemed to be quite suprised that he left Storm.
-
more £
-
Dom to me never really represented storm so not so surprising he is willing to leave. I don't see him at the storm booth talking bouts balls n stuff. Like when I went to PBA world championship Stuart Williams pushing roto grip booth. Josh Blanchard pushing Columbia , bill o niel pushing hammer. What I'm trying say is I don't see much passion from him sticking with storm.
-
Money talks
-
Saw that Dom is now an Ebonite-tee.

press release
-
Tom Smallwood has been moved from Brunswick to Radical.

Big announcement today from Ryan Shafer. He has decided to leave EBI and has joined Motiv. In addition to him joining Motiv, he also signed with K-Motion/Genesis and High 5. Then, with Ryan joining Motiv, Motiv has also agreed to sponsor Ryan's Tuesday night summer sports league which has at least 90 bowlers and growing.
Here it is from Ryan himself: https://www.facebook.com/Ryan-Shafer-252307461505261/?fref=nf
-
He did not leave Ebonite. His contract was terminated. Big difference.
-
I suppose his [Shafer's] young lady friend, Liz Kuhlkin, will be following him to Motiv.
While I'm at it, is that the reason why Maria Jose Rodriguez left EBI for Motiv, in part, because of her 'friendship' with Nathan Bohr?
-
I thought Maria & Andre Gomez were an item. When did Nathan come into the picture?
-
I believe that Nathan Bohr came into that picture in late 2014, early 2015. But hey, if you don't believe me, check this out: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153519062404690&set=t.511015273&type=3&theater (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153519062404690&set=t.511015273&type=3&theater)

Not that I want to get into bowling gossip, but the link goes to Anggie Ramirez's FB page, not anything with Maria and Nathan, unless I'm missing something.
