We Want the Phoenix!
« on: February 24, 2007, 03:09:24 PM »
HEY FASTTRACKERS!

This is my starting petition to Ebonite, if you want to see the PHOENIX put into production, then let Ebonite know how you feel by replying...with enough usernames they should hear what we have to say! I tried this once and was told how ridiculous it was for posting it at the time. I will NOT take it off no matter how many people give me grief over it...for those who haven't had a chance to throw it, I feel we deserve a shot at it! God Bless You All and have a great week!

The cancellation makes me want to choke someone.
From what I here all current balls will be gone once the stock is used up which I find to be even more ridiculous. Those of us that like Track liked it for a reason and they shouldn't mess with what makes Track what it is.
If I wanted a ball that Big E thinks is how it should be I would buy one of their releases.
11 ball arsenal 10 Track and a white dot I think I found the company that I like, unfortunately this may change.

a National Brand Mgr from Ebonite told me the multi density cores were time consuming therefore those would probably not be produced after the 3/8 deadline. I'm not agreeing with them at all, just stating what I was told last week. At least your brand will remain a mainstay in the industry, while the brand I supported is more than likely going to bite the dust and disappear completely. And you think you have it bad, what about the staffers we had, what are they going to do???? If this is true all their existing equipment may not be leagal to use in the upcoming PBA season at the regional level, if that is the case they'll all be scrambling to get new equipment drilled in the next couple weeks before the season opens for them, and all without contracts to help off set the financial drain on their personal finances.

Sorry for your grief, but there are always others who suffer more in different terms.I hope your petition works, it sounds like many of the Ebonite decisions have been made, just not put in print as of yet. I'm out....

I heard the same thing about the multi-density cores. I hope this is not true cause many of the best releases from Track and others have been multi density.
A few off of the top of my head.
Track: Robo core, Equation, Heat (Tri-Density)
Columbia: Cerami-cores
Storm: Trama Series, RAD cores, PBT/PMT/Thunder cores
Roto: Rotary, Cyclotron, X-1
Lane #1's mini nugget cores
There are many others.

With Big E being the controller of so many companies I think their philosophy of multi density cores could be a BAD thing.

Sorry for the hi-jack Michael.

They should have made at least a limited supply and listed it as such, IMO. So, count me in too!!

Ebonite better be careful. Right now they think they are on top of the world. Their arrogance could prove fatal if they alieniate bowlers to the degree that a "no-Ebonite ball" sentiment is created by neglecting the other brands, such as Track.

The Track brand provided unique product, even while a division under Columbia. It does not need to become balls labeled Track that is nothing but varients of warmed-over Ebonite lines with different colors and names.

If they destroy the brand equity and its following (not just Track but Columbia too), then the entire Columbia purchase will be a disaster for Ebonite too... could kill them financially.

So heed the warning... give us the Phoenix!
