Bowlers Journal International - January 2008 - (Page 104) MARKETPLACE THIS SEASON'S EBONITE STAFF ON THE Denny's PBA Tour is led by 2005-06 Player of the Year Tommy Jones and Dino Castillo. Three-time Tournament of Champions winner Jason Couch also is on the staff, but is sitting out this season due to a knee injury. "We are certainly pleased to have Tommy and Dino represent our brand at our sport's highest level," said Ed Gallagher, Ebonite brand manager. "Their success on the PBA Tour provides invaluable exposure for our Ebonite balls." Meanwhile, Couch is keeping busy by assisting Ebonite in its sales efforts, primarily in the Southeast. "It's great to be a part of a company that has such loyalty," Couch said. "Their support gives me the additional drive to take my game to an even higher level when I return."

The Spiral Pink/Black fills the bill for both genders, and is available online from BowlingBall.com. COLUMBIA 300'S NEW Momentum ball is ushering in a new era with an updated coverstock designed to produce friction in the body of the lane. It features the Resurgence core with a lower flare potential than most high-performance balls, which allows the driller to "tune in" a desired reaction by moving the pin in relation to the bowler's preferred action point. To learn more about Momentum, available in 12- to 16-lb. weights, log on to Columbia300.com. THE ROLLERBALL SMALL BALL SYSTEM from U.S. Bowling Corporation has become an over-performing profit center in many different locations. It takes up very little space, requires almost no attention, and can positively impact a center's revenue stream.
