i could understand your point if he sold balls, but he doesnt. People asked for it and he brought it. its not like he is on someones payroll, if hammer gets upset so be it, nobody has ever said that the BW was a bad ball. Lets face it, that ball is over a year old now, they sold a gazillion of them, do think hammer really cares now?? people will still continue to buy their products, just now some may choose the break over that particular ball at this point. hammer was first now global has made a comparable if not better release. its just business, he is not endorsing just doing a taste test. i dont think hammer should be too concerned over such a small company, if they are i guess global is doing a good job.
