No more Demarini/Famous

Just saw on Old Scout that they've folded for the year. That blows, a bunch of good guys. I guess even at that level sponsorship money is hard to maintain. BTW, that's just a guess since mostly everything nowadays comes down to money.

Pretty sure Famous is done as a company. Too bad too. They made great stuff. The turfs are awesome.

Demarini cant catch a break, but i would be ok with money going back into the FH program. Still wish there was more communication from higher up in the form of a monthly news letter on product updates etc.

Sounds like you guys need regional directors to over see the growth and direction of the program...

The program is great if it's being used in the correct way and not for the wrong reasons ...

I think people get the wrong impression sometimes of what the Factory Hitter program is supposed to be ...

Wouldn't that be nice... The only way to get any info is to be a pest... An even lucky to get it then... I learn most new things here on Sbf not from anyone at the factory.. Then I'll just ask the boss or someone in the know if there's any truth to such and such rumors


Sad but true.. interesting to see what happens. My guess is the fh program stays the same, but I do wonder what happened to famous

what the...? so you think the guys will get picked up by other teams? how does that work?

Depends if the they were disbanded and approved by utrip. If approved and the other conference major teams have roster moves after being frozen then they would be able to added. Dont think the players would be able to play below "A" bc of the utrip drop rule. could be wrong tho, since im only a low level c/d guy.

Pretty much any conference team can pick up the players once the team is folded... they still have to meet certain classication though... Obviously a C conference team cant pick up more than one guy off of the A team that folded... All roster moves are approved or denied by Don Sr.

If any of u dont like the fh program, i can assure u no one is making u stay. If u thought the point was to bad mouth the company in a public forum, im afraid u were mistaken. When information is given, then poorly handled(i.e. posting pictures prematurely) theres prob a reason it has been limited as of late. Any of u that need information can contact me at 3609039160. Or [email protected]

U signed up for this, to promote Demarini/Wilson. Do try to show a little more diligence

As far as the team goes, stuff happens. Those issues should n hopefully will stay in house. I wish nothing but the best to all involved. Especially my teammates in finding new homes for the rest of the year

I'm confused... Where in the thread were people bad mouthing the factor hitter program?

However as for posting pic prematurely, Usually its marketing guys that get butthurt about that stuff. It usually builds more hype and helps sales. If you seriously wanted to help sales you guys should hire JPEG of your bat decals. He came up with some very nice designs just on his free time. Cause that flipper is just ... well you know... early release of photos didn't help that much but its proformace was the deciding factor about picking one up.

I'm sure these guys will find good homes. There are some good guys on that team that can fit in just about anywhere.

Dale, you made your point. We all know what is going on, as do you, now back to the team in question.

I think that utrip forced the break up due to the j3u! Utrip felt that a whole team of guys swinging such a force would be unstoppable and have an unfair compitive advantage.:D Now since these sticks wont be needed by the team how about sending me one;)
