ok here's a good one for you.....i mentioned a month or so ago that i wanted to try out the murrey rake boards because i've been unhappy with the last 3 rake boards i got from brunswick....ok no big deal right?
well i check my e-mail the next day to see a message from murrey int'l. they wrote me to inform me that if i would like to try one of their rake boards, that they would be willing to send me one free of charge also with any message i wanted on the rake...keep in mind this is for free. the only catch was that i had to come on to bowl-tech and give my honest opinion of the rake board that they send me. well i rarely turn down something for free and i didn't see a down side to what they proposed(except i told them that i would be willing to test 24 of the rakes instead of just one but i only received one....i won't hold that against them though [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] )
so ireceived it ups a week later and put it on immediately. this rake board was redesigned to fit the existing mounting holes on a brunswick machine. the older ones needed a mounting bracket kit in order to fit a brunswick machine. i wasn't able to use the existing bolts....hooray! i had to use a regular hex head bolt....i could finally use a washer and lockwasher on the rake. i can't beleive it took almost 50 years for someone to figure out that a flat head socket cap screw was a bad idea. so i get it in and it required me to adjust the rake lift rods a little....no biggie. i go up front and throw a few balls....looks like a rake to me. then i take a ball and nail the rake while it'a at 90 and it didn't leave a mark on the rake at all. the lettering on the rake is recessed about 1 inch so it never will get hit by a ball and should look good for years. the rake it about 2 inches thick and the bolt holes are recessed as well. it a good looking rake and has been nailed numerous times since it was put in. to sum it up this is by far the best rake board i've seen yet. i do plan on putting them on the rest of our machines as we need them. they cost about the same as any other rake but it's quality beats that of any other rake on the market. i give it "2 thumbs up"
what really impresses me about this is that murrey beleives enough in their product(s) that they are willing to be put under the microscope by the members of bowltech and mechanics alike by offering a sample and asking us to come on bowltech and give our opinion. i think alot of you can remember the time when they offered a free deck chute to anyone that wanted to try theirs, the only catch was to come back on bowltech and give your opinion. well that tells me that they care about what they do and are thinking about what we think. i'd like to thank and congradulate murrey int'l on the support of bowltech and us mechanics.
