A question for you guys....
« on: February 20, 2007, 06:25:13 AM »
Just got off the phone with Carl and we decided we would like your opinions on this.  Remember how we asked you to lay out our some of our pieces to see a reaction?  Well now we'd like to see where you guys think what company we should sign with (if available).  Now that the new year has already started, it limits us greatly on our choices because most contracts are budgeted and run calender yr 1/1 - 12/31 (another reason I feel Col owes us staffers something).  

When I joined the Track forum 4 yrs ago, we were 5th in popularity in BR.  With the help of Carl, Anthony Chapman (achappy), George Frilingos, Clint Daley and many others.  We've boosted Track to 2nd, I think that says a lot for the work we've done here in customer support and satisfaction.  I feel we could do the same in any respective forum if given the chance.

1.Brunswick
2.Ebonite/Hammer/Col/Track/Dynothane
3.Lanemasters
4.MoRich
5.Storm/Roto
6.Visionary
7.Other...

Thanks for your time....

On edit: I told Carl that this would be the 1st time we don't have to wear a Track shirt and I have a few Storm/Roto balls I stashed that I liked the reaction of to use in league tonite.  Just a weird feeling, that's all...

Hey Rick!

Sorry its taking me so long to post my opinion...I have to say, go with whoever treats you right and whoever you believe will be there for you in the long run...I think its really crappy that they didn't even have on the list of staffers which is pretty pathetic in my opinion...I have to admit as well that trying something other than Track was weird at first...I've already sold the Toxic, just didn't like the look it gave me and I'm currently looking for a bidder to take my Total NV, not much luck in league last night with it...just my two cents though! God Bless You Rick and you know you have my support with whoever you choose buddy!

Start your OWN company. You guys could call it Tall and Short Bowling Inc.

Seriously, I'd say Storm then BrunsMo.

Well after watching carl throw some of the stuff he just punched up and seeing how bad it tracks out and nasty it gets after only 4 games. Then also watch myself trade a ball to get a Pain, and then see how bad it has already tracked out and how much I have to keep on it to make sure it reacts. I would say for you guy to get a loan (really really really big one). Start your own company, hire the hitmen on as security, and some of the good people who lost there jobs at columbia ind. as the rest of the staff (This included Phil C.) and start putting out your own stuff.

If that dont work just sign with the company you think is the best out there. I know carl already knows what I think mostly but I was so set on trying that soaker cover. I think I may end up just shopping on the rack for stuff I see left there. (most resently found a Elixer, 5-6 red pulse, and I almost had an animal but some kid beat me to it.)

From Carl and myself, thank you all VERY much for your replies and thoughts.  Bowling-wise, I can throw anything.  I'll still suck and will stay 210+ (been at that for 20 years) probably the rest of my life without practice.  I'm more concerned of the support I get for my customers and how much a company will listen to me for input for my customers.  Thank you again and keep'em coming!

One more thing I forgot to say, thank you to everyone who has sent messages to various manufacturers on our behalf.  That was a very nice gesture....

Rick...

STORM!!!!

They have some great equipment and the Storm forum could REALLY use a few more intelligent people to "help out" with the equipment (layouts, surface prep, etc...).  That's the one thing I really miss in regards to when I rolled Track, all the knowledge I gained from reading posts made by the Track reps...

I'm leaning towards Morich, Roto Grip and Legends. Luckily I have a complete fairly new Track arsenal that I love so there is no rush.

Current Arsenal:
Power Machine
Strike Machine
Machine
Arsenal Artillary
Angular Artillary
Rule Delta 1
Inertia
Heat Blast
