Phoenix, 10, Bad News :\
« on: February 22, 2007, 01:37:00 PM »
This is no rumor. This just came from my proshop guy, Beans' email! I can't believe it.. sorry to break the news to everyone. I've been dying to hear it myself :\ ...

----- Original
Subject: TRACK PHOENIX BALL RELEASE

 

Dear Ebonite International, Inc. Consumer Product Distributor:

 

One of the many issues caught in the Columbia transition was the Track Phoenix ball introduction. When asked, we told many of you that we would be testing that ball before making a “go/no-go” decision regarding it’s release. Testing has now been completed. We will not be releasing this ball.

 

Please cancel any orders that you may have placed for the Track Phoenix.

 

There have also been some questions regarding the new Columbia “Ten” ball that was pending introduction. This ball will not be released.

 

Please pass this information on to your pro shop customers as you deem appropriate.

 

Sorry for the abruptness of these announcements, but we felt it very important that we keep you as informed as possible.

 

CHEERS!
RWR

They are probably not releasing it because both those balls smoke the current Hammer/Ebonite line.  There was going to be a new Dyno Back Vendetta coming out too, that will be probably be squashed as well.  It just makes me ill thinking about it.  I think I might give Roto a try.  They haven't totally sold out yet.

Wow...now there's no doubt to me that these two balls ('specially the Phoenix) would be good, but that they would smoke the Total NV, Black Widow, No Mercy, and One series? Yeah, in your dreams.

When a company has deep pockets and can pay the best bowlers in the world to use their equipment; it does not mean the balls are any good.  If it makes you feel more secure in your own bowling that is your opinion.

Does this mean the Phoenix I have coming next Wednesday will be worth $600 like the NV that sold on ebay yesterday?

But I thought the only thing that made a ball good was if Tommy Jones used it!  Must copy Tommy Jones at all times!

I doubt that, if the balls were great, Ebonite would release and PUSH them.  Don't forget they ARE Track/Columbia/Dyno now as well.  They're a business, not a sorority.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...
