Wow. I'm... nonplussed.

So...

I wonder if AMF/Blow-mor will discontinue the Brunswick line, or if they'll continue? And will that ball line continue along the lines of Brunswick, or will they start turning out crap-a$$ balls? What does that mean for DV8? Better stock up on the good Brunswick stuff now, people! Aslan: You may need another closet for stockpiling Masterminds and Melees.

They could just sell off the product line to another company and focus on the centers.

From the article AMF/bowlmor just bought the lane centers. They are looking for a buyer for the ball business

Friend of mine just said that it's just on the bowling centers. Brunswick's still going to continue to produce the equipment and stuff.

[rv driver]

So which is it? Are they looking to sell off the ball manufacturing, or not?

This is still bad news for bowlers everywhere. While we dont have any brunswick centers around here this is bad news for league bowlers everywhere. Bowlmors crappy yuppy model will be expanding

SOON IT WILL ALL be crap!! Cosmic B.S.!! Or as Bowlless calls it, entertainment bowling!!! What is happening? 60 inch TV's, and home entertainment center, WII bowling,,,, are they destroying the once great sport of bowling!!!

Is Bowlless, owned by the DEVIL!!

Do they really think hard core bowlers give a rats about having FUN!!! GRRRRR.... WE bowl for the sport of bowling not Cosmic lights, loud music, and expensive food and drinks! That might work in New York, but not here in the heart land,,, we take our oil, and lanes seriously!!

The hours around here already SUCK! hard to find a good practice time with the AMF's that they didn't close, are open banker hours!

Cosmic bowling does suck. I can barely bowl in the light much less in the dark!!
