ya know.. by reading some of these posts, you'd think that there would be some more common sense out there. Does anyone out there think that ALL BOWLING BALL MFG don't borrow from one another. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE TRACK HAVOC??? HMMM isnt that a AMF NIGHTHAWK WGT BLOCK?? brunswick Parker bohn III MVP,(an old bruswick sapphire), track code red (columbia pulse), storms reusing the thunder wgt block on their new stuff, (track, columbia, amf all reuse each others weightblocks) all there cores just get rolled over to other balls, slap on a new cover stock and a catchy name and you got a new ball out. even the wgt blocks used on the track machine line, and the ebonite NV line are worth giving a look to. look at all the ball companies. track borrows from columbia, columbia borrows from ebonite, etc. the list goes on and on, but yet nothing gets said about the BIG 3 (bruswick, columbia, ebonite). how come??? because they have big advertising budgets??? or that they can sell theire equipment for lots less?
granted i can't afford to drop $200 bucks a ball (ball, drilling etc), but sounds like dave atwood is doing what he can to get the name out there, and by moving to vegas, that should help. (maybe he can get eric forkel to an endorsement contract?). I got a banger fantasy ball and i love it. (ok its part of my starter kit). and i have been wanting to try a banger hole pounder, i've read some great things about both the pearl and solid. just give'em time and exposure and see what happens.
ok.. just my two cents.. but banger is worth tryng them out.. you might just be surprised. af
