Why is everyone giving up on Track?
« on: October 12, 2006, 02:55:34 PM »
Topic says it here..

So why is it? Because Del Warren is gone? It won't be the end of the world here guys. Del Warrne was a very good ball designer, and i think every brand out there knows that.

I know i'm not giving up on Track. They will be back stronger with the new designer, and be killing some competition.

This is just my opinion and i would like other one's also. I've just seen so many Track balls being sold recently that it's driving me insane! There's nothing wrong with them!

Well i have the highest respect for the Warren's never met them personally, i have friends on here and staffers that know them well. But i also like Phil alot and it makes sense to give him control back of the company he made in the first place. He made some really great balls back when he was in charge, i hope he continues the ball a day deal and maye will bring back some of his better retro ball with updated cores and covers.

I believe Phil will make it a money making compnay again, if they were really smart down there Phil would be the company president for all of the brands. But seeing they can good people the guy running this operation must be kind of mean spirited person with the way they were all fired last week.

I'm not giving up on Track.  Heck in the last 2 weeks I picked up 4 more track balls thus far and several more here in the next couple of weeks.

I believe most people are reacting on raw emotion but find most peoples responses comical. Its a business with high's and lows. Changing of the garb at most all big business brings the axe to many whether it is correct or not. Mr Warren was indeed a heck of a gent but Track didn't bring itself to the forefront like most would believe on here. Columbia has been so-so at best since the messenger Ti-pearl (sales wise).  Phil has been successful across a few companies so it should be of no major suprise that Columbia is looking for a solid plan to boost market share back to their favor. It is nice to hold network support as the Track Forum has acted like a family but please look who is taking the helm and realize the company is in just as qualified (probably more) hands. Most of you didn't follow Del like a pup when he was designing balls for AMF.

I think the real problem is that we hate to see good employees from a company that we do business with either move on or fired. I'm sure C300 compensated everyone correctly.

I've been throwing nothing but Track since 98. This Track guy isn't goin anywhere! While I am disappointed with losing Del I have confidence that Mr. Track (Phil) will continue to lead us in the right direction.

Let's see....my average has gone from the 170's to the 190's using Track over the last couple of years. No...I don't think I'm going anywhere at all.

maybe people are looking at this the wrong way. i'm not trying to be a jerk at all, so please don't take it like that, but maybe the competition's stuff is gaining more and more respect? for instance, since the introduction of the one, Ebonite's business has boomed around here. also, Morich and Lane 1 are doing nothing but growing. so maybe rather than track "falling apart" or people losing faith in track, maybe they're simply trying something else, and who would blame them? every company makes quality products, as loyal to one company as any of us are, we all have to admit, that every company making stuff today makes good ones. bad ones too, don't get me wrong, but everybody's putting out quaulity.

just my opinion.

Or maybe they are trying to get as many ball companies together to become the Official Ball of the PBA?  Therefore all PBA players must use a C300 umbrella companies balls?  They did just come to a very large sponsorship deal.

Lefty hi-trak,

I agree with what you say- you just made me giggle with "changing of the garb".

I always thought it was " changing of the guard" like at Buckingham Palace. Maybe your expression in America is this but I just found it funny.

How can anyone say that Track went soft after the Synergy line. The Elite line sold very well and the Heat had one of the best years ever on the PBA tour.

I love what Del did with Track and I'm sorry to see him go but since I grew up on Track under Phil I'm happy to see him back.

Phil, can we bring back the original Red Stomp and the Ocean Blue Triton. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
DW
