EBONITE STAFF PLAYER SHADY ON A MISSION - Bowler makes local history with top equipment
Mar 01, 2010
Ebonite staff member Mike Shady made a little bit of history recently as he became the first two-time winner of the Pepsi 300 Scratch Bowling Tournament held at Greengarden Lanes in Erie, PA.
Shady, a valued Ebonite staff member since 1992, was able to conquer the demanding lane conditions using a combination of two of Ebonite’s latest releases.
“The new Ebonite Mission worked very well early in the tournament as it created both the mid-lane and backend reaction I needed to give myself the proper entry angle into the pocket,” said Shady. “As the lanes broke down and started to hook more, I was able to switch to an Ebonite Magic Action and continue on throughout the rest of the tournament.”
Shady was able to grind his way through what was a very demanding lane condition, as he worked his way through over 120 other bowlers to claim his second Pepsi 300 title, bowling an impressive 267 in the championship match to secure the win.
“It is a great honor and privilege to bowl for the number one ball company in the world,” Mike comments. “They consistently lead the industry with R & D, marketing programs and value added service for the consumer. Everyone else basically follows the lead of Ebonite. The most important asset of being a staff member is it allows me to use the best equipment made in the industry today.”
“We at Ebonite are proud to have Mike as a member of our team and wish him the best of luck in future events,” said Ed Gallagher, Ebonite Brand Manager.
