Hope to see him use other brand companies in the future. The best part though is that he can win with a company that is not seen on tv such as AMF.

IT'S TOUGH TO CHANGE .. that doesn't imply he's THICK HEADED .. it merely states he seems to be doing OK .. why should he consider something else? That's the feeling I would have!

Duke may be getting good promo money from AMF, I really don't know. I don't think the brand matters that much to him, as far as performance goes. AMF Triumph, D/T Vendetta, when you're that good, what's the diff?

Post by: laner7pin on January 11, 2004, 02:48:58 PM: Norm was an AMF staffer for many years so he still uses their equipment on a regular basis. However last year he won with Dynothane, used Track when he shot 300, used Track on another occasion and this year has won with AMF and had a good showing today with his injury. Norm plays the extreme outside because he is that good and versatile, but can get in and play deep if the shot calls for it.

Post by: tburky on January 11, 2004, 03:00:02 PM: I do believe Norm is a staffer for AMF for the current PBA season. Therefore, he will throw only AMF products.
