I wanna know everything that is going on
« on: February 06, 2007, 10:35:33 PM »
Can everyone post all the facts that is going on with Track right now in this thread? Because i hate looking at all different threads and don't even know what's going on. Is Track going to be done? IS the Phoenix still comming out?!

Clint is correct - we are directing all calls to Ebonites Customer Service.  This includes staffers with questions about orders as well as PBA member about balls.  I have not had anyone get back to me as of yet so I do not know if anyone has tried, if they have - I dont know what they are being told.
Some people from Ebonite are going to be in San Antonio facility later this week - I would expect more answers in the coming days.
All that I would ask is for everyone to please be patient.  There are many, many questions that we cannot answer and I am pretty sure this is fairly new to Ebonite's team as well.  I am pretty sure they don't have the answers yet either.  So please be understanding when Ebonite or myself tell you that we don't know - we're being honest and upfront.  I want nothing best for these brands moving forward.  We have poured a ton of hard work into the brands these past several months and I want nothing but the best for them moving forward.

Hey Mike,

Any idea if this affects the closeout orders that were placed last week?

I ordered 8 balls for customers, and some of them are getting a little nervous with all of these happenings.

We should know tomorrow.  I can tell you that if the order has not yet shipped, we need to wait for Ebonite's approval to do so.  Since Ebonite will be in tomorrow I expect that we will have more answers (not as many as we all would like - I'm sure) but at least we should have some idea as to how this all will transition.  In the mean time, I'll do what I can to help.

By the way - thanks for everyone's kind words - I truly appreciate it.

Mike- Thanks for the update. I was planning a return to Track this year. IMHO much of this confusion could have been avoided if Ebonite would have waited a week or two before making the premature announcement on their website. Track and Columbia are mum and Ebonite is gloating. It just looks bad.

I would agree but the only problem with that is the good old rumor mill.  Heck, all it takes is a joke or a crazy thought and the next thing you know its the latest hot topic on ball reviews and everywhere else.  There is no way that they could have had everything in place for this change and then made the announcement.  It's just one of those things that you gotta start somewhere and work through the issues.  I wish we had more answers but right now there are just none.

Typically those problems are a sign of a "hostile" takeover.  My company just announced a merger/acquistion this week, but it was mutual and has been very smooth.

Although we weren't given a lot of information prior to the "official" announcement, enough people that "needed" to know the information were already informed and it has been smooth so far.

Usually when they say things like "effectively immediately" and "from this point forward," that typically points to something not quite agreeable.  I think we all can agree that there wouldn't have been anything wrong with allowing "business as usual" in San Antonio - unless you are worried about information getting stolen/destroyed,  or somebody trying to sabotage something.  At least that's the way it looks to me.......strictly my opinion.
