Photo by Fred Eisenhammer [email protected] of Brunswick’s staff and that includes the 2007 USBC Masters and 2012 PBA Tournament of Champions, his two biggest career wins. Early last season, he won the Mark Roth-Marshall Hol- man PBA Doubles Championship with Matt Ogle and went on to cap off the FloBowling PBA Summer Tour with a win at the FloBowling PBA Wolf Open. He also won the PBA China Tiger Cup, a non-title event that was the PBA’s first event in China. Rash said he has been throwing 900 Global equipment for about a week as he prepares for the 2020 PBA Tour, which begins next week with the PBA Hall of Fame Clas- sic. That event will be broadcast live on FloBowling. “My comfort level is 100 percent,” Rash said. “I’ve been bowling with them for about a week now and they make great products. I have some favorites in mind already.” 900 Global, which is based in San Antonio, is owned by Storm’s Bill and Barbara Chrisman. Pye said 900 Global staffers aren’t able to throw Storm or Roto Grip equipment, but they do share ball reps on the PBA Tour. Barnes has been the company’s biggest name on the PBA Tour in recent years and extended his contract last month. The 900 Global staff also includes Anthony Lav- ery-Spahr, Sam Cooley and Chris Sloan, among others. Rash originally signed with Brunswick in 2002 when he was a collegiate player at Wichita State and reflected on his time with the company. “I want to say thank you to Brunswick for an amazing 17 years,” Rash said. “I’ve had some tremendous bosses and built unbelievable relationships throughout the world. They basically got me to where I am now. I’m starting a fresh chapter in my life, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.” Page 10 CaliforniaBowlingNews.com January 16, 2020
