Thread: Brunswick acquiring Ebonite?

    It sounds like EBI was closing up either way, Brunswick jumped in to save/purchase the IP and rights. I haven't done too much digging into it, but the official statements seem to indicate that as well.

    Not really sure that is a fair comparison especially if your looking at uproars and wreckers as they would be 2nd in strength in the line as rotogrip makes the hustle as HP1 but the hustle line is considered much more advanced than the breezes. just more different price points than being more expensive. Pro shops I've seen they run the same price for the same place in the line up.

And how can you get rid of the White Dot...the most popular ball on the market...thrown as a strike ball by old ladies and as a spare ball by everyone that doesn't see spending $100 on a plastic spare ball.
    Personally I might can them all other than Hammer myself. At best the other brands are lucky to have a popular ball in their entire lineup. I doubt they do get rid of any first in reality but hopefully they will changeup their release schedules. Going to be nuts if Brunswick is introducing 7 new lineups everytime.
