The way I understand it, he'll be throwing whatever he wants, same goes for Barnes.

well i don't know what is going to come of this. it's a sad day!!!!

but look on the bright side.  hammer was not doing well when ebonite bought them in 2002.  and look at the job ebonite did turning them around.
in our shop 3 out of the 6 best selling models are hammer.

and to me, columbia today/yesterday was doing better then hammer 5 years ago.
so with ebonite taking them over, and based on the outstanding job they did with hammer>>>>  there should be hope that the columbia brand name will survive.

it is funny that Track & Columbia have no announcement on their websites about this big deal.

V Spec why is it any of their obligation to post something on their website, Ebonite was the one purchasing them, therefore ebonite made the statement.

Also about Phil taking over Track and Dyno-Thane as independent companies, good luck with that.

Talked with a few guys at the tournaments here in vegas. I was told that again as someone has already posted they let go of EVERYONE!!! I believe they are employed till around April 7th and than after that good bye... Alot of them found out from different sources other than columbia/track!

Why so hard on Phil?

You never know, Ron Hickland and Phil designing for the same company? That would be awesome.

When everything is done, Phil will let us know what the heck is going on, with Track and DynoThane. I see it as a very good thing as long as they let Phil do his thing. The website needs work and updated, maybe we'll finally have the company store we've been asking for with shirts, hats, etc. More info on the equipment and so on. But, we're just going to have to wait it out and see what happens.
