It's that time of year where we see some of the pros start changing staffs or becoming free agents. Here is what I've seen so far.
One of the bigger surprises is that Tom Hess is no longer with Storm. His bio and ball arsenal locker have been completely removed from their site (was shown on their national team section under athletes). Now Hess won his first major title ever with the then soon to be released Virtual Gravity Nano solid back in 2011. I'm not sure where he will end up.
Also, Shannon O'Keefe has recently left Storm and has become part of the DV8 staff.
Even more surprising by DV8 is that they added a rock band to their staff. "Goes Cube" is on their staff and yet I'm not sure how they landed there.

http://dv8bowling.com/ballers/goes-cube900 Global made a big move and has finally committed to Brian Voss full time. For a while, he had been throwing some 900 Global, some AMF, would switch to Storm and Roto Grip depending on the shows he made. More recently he had been throwing Seismic overseas. Now, he has a full time home with 900 Global, joining the likes of Missy Parkin, Robert Smith, and Michael Haugen Jr.
As for hometown pro Jack Jurek, he is still a free agent. On tv, we have seen him throw Roto Grip and Storm most recently. However, he has shot some ball reaction videos with Track, and has also been seen throwing some 900 Global on some of the IAB videos. Then he also shoots videos for MoRich, as those are done at the house he has a pro shop in (Transit Lanes outside of Buffalo). If he makes a show this coming season, it's anyone's guess to what he will throw. We all know it won't be MoRich since they haven't been on tour in a while.
Brad Angelo, the other hometown pro from my area is still without a full time ball contract since leaving Brunswick.
As for any other changes, it's anyone's guess at this point.
