The hammer pros have been quiet this year. With Tony begin hurt and Doug going from the player of the year to struggling on a weekly basis. At least Billy made TV twice this year.

Looks like Ebonite put all the magic in the Columbia balls this year between Barns and Malott, Columbia has 14 T.V. appearances by staffers.


Thank goodness Page and Allen threw hammer a few times on T.V. this year. Man Jeff should but busting a nut trying to sign Rihno on hammer!

So I decided to take a closer look at what brands where being used by bolwers on T.V. this year. This break down includes the WPBA title matches rolled on T.V. Some numbers might be off when a bowler used two different brands during their T.V. Run, but these numbers are an estimate and this is just for entertainment...

Company - - - T.V. Aperences - - - Titles

Brunswick - - - - - 19 - - - - - - - - - - 7
Strom - - - - - - - 18 - - - - - - - - - - 2

Think Rhino Page used some Hammers earlier in the season.

By Parent Company & Shared Manufacturing.
Brunswick, MoRich, Elite:
A: 29 T: 9
Ebonite, Hammer, Columbia, Track
A: 39 T:7
900 Global, AMF 300
A: 2 T: 2
Storm, Roto Grip
A: 26 T: 5

Think I got'em all matched up correctly...

I agree that Rhino would be a Major Win to any Company.
The bad thing for Hammer this was Kent and Reyes battling injury and such. Last year was a hard year to follow up on. Plus for Brand Couch is out due to injuries as well.

Plus you have some great ball releases as well.
BW, NM, Doom, Pain, Toxic, BV... plus a couple of older release that where still around. I think the line is pretty close again... it just very Heavily loaded with Pearls for this season. The Bite looks like it was great late add.

Well see what we get this summer. It would be nice to get the four regular releases in the Summer, with maybe two release for the Winter.
