Logos do look like the Motiv ones (not engravings).

Be interesting if Motiv is pouring for them or if they found a way around the Motiv Neomark patent

Motiv isn't pouring. Big Bowling setup in Spokane, WA

No I am trolling.  Ritchie never poured his own stuff AFAIK.  Pretty sure his new polyester ball is made in Korea.  But in past was Brunswick and 900 (want to say as C300 also) who poured for him.

I know for sure they are doing everything in their own facility. I think we will here some news over the next couple days. Then it will just be a matter of people willing to give them a shot. I'm going to get 3 as soon as they come out because I need some new ones anyway. I just hope it will be before open championship

Three at release? Dang, that's some confidence in the product right there.

It will be interesting to see what the price point for this stuff will be. I'm assuming higher since they're not manufacturing on the scale of the other companies... but will enough people buy if that's the case. Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing something/someone new enter the market.

Ciminelli had mentioned there are 4 total in the works at the moment. The Idea Solid & Pearl + 2 more to come soon after.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like on the lanes and in the hands of Rhino

How much different can they actually be? I don't see much difference between all the balls that are currently being produced.

And we can already have an example of how good their marketing is...
"If guns kill people, do pencils misspell words?"

"If you don't stand for our flag, then don't expect me to give a damn about your feelings."

this is a major reason that I am excited about this. We have basically 2 ball companies just re branding the same stuff. These guys are working on actual new balls. I hear we are super close now. Get ready to order any time now

How do you figure?  At least 3 even if combine Storm and 900 before you even count the Asian manufacturers.  Always room for another Banger I guess.

Again, what are they going to be able to offer that isn't already on the market? As far as I know, there are only two suppliers of the resin used to make bowling balls. In addition, USBC had defined the specifications into a pretty narrow window.

Also, I assume most of these guys worked for one of the majors already, so if they had some kind of big break-through idea, it would have already been on the market.
