I’m glad to see Ryan leave Motiv. I’m not dissing their equipment, but I don’t think it matches up to him. He was winning a lot more when he threw DV8. And the Storm Natural before that. And has anyone seen anything out of Osku in the last 5 years?

Osku is the infamous "Twin Fin". That's too cool of a nick name to let go by the wayside. It's got to be worth at least one more staffer contract.

Did Kyle Troup leave Storm or does he have a separate Bowler X deal?

I really think it's been more of his ball speed not matching up with patterns more than the equipment, but in the end it just wasn't working out for him.

Osku is still a name, especially in Europe, that can help sell equipment.

He's the EBI European Sales Manager now so that's literally his job.

Updated original post, seems Rhino Page is a free agent now, and JR Raymond dropped his EBI staff spot as part of his Bowlerx.com deal

Interesting, I've always thought he should throw Brunswick because, you know, RHINO. C'mon universe, make it happen!

I'd put a bet on EBI for Rhino. Gotta get that Purple Hammer
