Thread: Unique marketing from EBI

  1. #1

    Default Unique marketing from EBI

    Their new Mission Unknown ball will come in 3 colors: Black, Gold, or Red. If you get a gold one (<1%) they will refund your purchase and Jason Couch personally calls you to chat about bowling. Let's hope you're not a 2 hander otherwise he'll spend the whole time berating you

    I admit I'm tempted to get one too just to see if I can get the gold one.

    It should be an upcoming BB giveaway...with the requirement of the winner having to post a video of the box opening.

    The ball must suck to have such a strange marketing strategy. R&D too expensive to back out?

    Idk there are threads like this one on almost every bowling site I've looked at. At the very least it has grabbed attention for a brand most people have forgotten exists. Honestly I've thought all of the older stuff of theirs I've seen sucked but the warrior's and Game Breakers have been descent at least.

    To me it's because of the name Ebonite. That word just sounds weird.

    Hammer, Roto Grip, Storm. Sure, those sound cool

    Still named after the rubber used for older balls. It dose give it a older sound. A buddy of mine had an old Illusion that ball did well for him as a lefty
