Ronnie Russell jumped ship to Storm. From what I told, there will be more defections from EBI.

Ronnie signed with Storm way before Brunswick acquired EBI.

Makes me wonder if someone with inside info was in his ear. I was surprised when he jumped ship.

A true measure of why a pro stays on staff is how much money they make while on it. Ronnie made plenty of shows with Motiv. How many did he make with EBI?

Ebonite filed bankruptcy in march and was struggling filling orders on new releases and nobody knew there was an issue. Ronnie didn't know anything that others much more important then him knew. It was a huge blindside.

So not enough business to stay in the black, but enough to be behind in filling orders. Hmm.

# of league bowlers is shrinking in the US and I guess they buy majority of the balls.  I thought there is some solid growth overseas though.  Whatever pretty obvious EBI management wasn't um good .  Its not like they didn't have balls people wanted.

The problem is the owners of EBI are a bigger entity than EBI. Owning Gap,Pac Sun, Victoria Secrets ect.  Even those companies profits are down so something has to go that being EBI.

These people are not bowlers they don't have as much passion like we do. Amazon, walmart and other online big companies are changing the landscape of purchasing. Malls are loosing stores like crazy, especially in smaller areas.. The game is changing rapidly..

This, retail/brick & mortar are dying a rapid death, to be honest, I dont know how some pro shops keep the doors open.

Trusting online retailers to drill my stuff <shudder>.  Label drills all around.

Buddies does a great job.

I'll have a drill press in my house soon. Drilling party, anyone?
