Title: The 2020-2021 Staff Changes have Begun
Post by: tommyboy74 on January 03, 2021, 10:57:13 AM
The last few weeks of 2020 and first couple of days in 2021 have already brought about some staff changes.  Here are the main changes so far:

- Kyle Sherman left Brunswick and joined Storm
- Gary Faulkner Jr. left Motiv and joined Storm
- Taylor Bulthuis (PWBA) left Columbia 300 and joined 900 Global
- Amanda Vermilyea (PWBA) has left Hammer and will announce her new company in the near future.

Saw on Taylor Bulthuis FB that she will be able to throw Storm and Roto as well. That itself is quite a big change. Will we see Rash throwing a Trend? ;D

Sean Rash on his Facebook and Instagram pages showed pictures of some Storm and Roto balls that he's drilling up to go with his 900 Global arsenal.  It looks like the staffers will be able to throw all 3 brands now.

I believe that 900 Global staffers are free to throw anything from the Storm and Roto Grip lineups but Storm and Roto Grip staffers can't throw anything 900 Global yet.

As of the 1st of the year, we are allowed to use 900 Global as well.

There's been multiple posts of Storm/Roto staffers throwing some 900G now. VideoBallReviews has a video with the Zen up on YouTube as well

I think it's perfect tho, he's regional to the company. It's a barneys columbia/900 thing.

Motiv is pretty strong here in indiana/michigan with ej and smallwood.

Makes sense to me

Definitely the most surprising news of all the moves IMO

Looking at the PWBA Kickoff Classic, looks like Erin McCarthy has made the move from Hammer to Motiv.

She changed to Motiv back in September. Seems like it could be a really good switch for her. There were a handful of women that changed brands and most of them look like they could be a good fit.

Motiv announced today on their Facebook page that PBA HOF and 4 time major/22 time tour champion Marshall Holman has joined their staff with a 3 year contract.  Yes, the Medford Meteor is going to represent Motiv as a bowler and as a brand ambassador.  He joins Marc McDowell and George Branham III as other HOF players who are part of the brand.

 :D Haven't heard that name in quite sometime. This will be interesting.  :o Always enjoyed his style and attitude, and being from Oregon has always been a personal enjoyment to me.  :)

wow.. I knew that Marc was still bowling (based on his last appearance at Nationals), but I thought George retired completely.. good to see him still in the game!

Marshall Holman announced his retirement a few years ago.  Is he coming out of retirement to compete again?
