They decided to not sell to online shops. They wanted to go directly to pro shops. As for shoes I think they are selling online though.

Looks like you will have to email or just call them for 15's and 14's, they also offer drilled prices so you do not get gouged for bringing in an internet ball if you know your specs.

They should run about the same as other premium equipment like Lane 1, Lanemasters, and Paradigms.

I ordered a 14.3 Creature, It took almost a month for Global to make a new batch of them, they sent a 14.7 and instead of sending it back (Because I didn't know how much time till I got another 1) I drilled it anyway's and used it a short time, the reaction was very smooth and Arcing with pretty good pin action, I had to unload my Creature because the extra couple of ounces hurt my joints when I threw it, at some point, I'm going to order another 1 of these balls and hopefully it will be the weight I ordered! I also had the Break, I asked for a drilling to use with my 3.5 PAP Low Track style, they suggested placing the Pin below my Ring finger and placing the 900 on my VAL (Which as it turned out, is designed for Higher Track player's), I did so and this ball and I could not get along, it was not the ball's fault as I used a drilling that in my heart I knew could not work for my game but I tried to trust in their drilling advice. I'm happy to report that Both balls have found new homes and are impressing a couple of owner's here in Albuquerque.

It is extremely hard for a pro shop to get such an exact weight. 14.3> fixed
That requires someone to actually go out into the warehouse and go thru all the weights,  just to find the one you wanted.  Most are not set up to do this.
Balls are ordered as 14-15-16 lbs.  Now some dist. will take the time and try to look for the exact weight of 14.3.  but that is not the norm!!! Especially on a busy shipping day!!!
Next time maybe request a low gross weight only.

The point was he wanted a 14.3,  did he get it?  No.  Maybe he should have requested a 14.7,  then he might have received a 14.3.

Why do have to be exact down to the ounces? Really, does 2 or 3 oz make that much of a difference in your game or bowling ball. Isnt that kinda crazy asking for a certain weight by ounces..

Yeah, they've been flying out of K&K since they released. I think they charge $150 for The Creature and $210 for The Break.

I am not positive but I think your pro shop is handing you a line.  I have not heard of any min. requirements.  I think that he just does not want to take the time to call.

No min requirements? For some unknown reason I got someone elses message to the effect that "you have a drill press so I guess you would qualify" No 900 Global in my shop for that message alone.

I guess I don't understand where you are going raider.  You are saying that because they only sale to pro shops direct that you would not deal with them?  Kind of weird if that is what you are saying considering that according to your post you own a pro shop and sounds like you carry alot of stock.  So I don't see why you wouldn't like to have the advantage over a online retailer.

Actually I didn't want to get into this but My reasoning is I feel that with that message 900 Global will sell direct to ANYBODY. I've had customers bring the ball in to drill and I gladly do it no need for inventory when a customer gets it the same price as I do!!!!

There is no minimum "to buy" he can order as few or as many as he'd like.

Post by: frankrizzo on February 05, 2008, 01:25:49 PM
I don't think the guys at global would sell just to ANYBODY, to my understanding you need to be in a shop. I do believe they check too.  I'm sure EZ E (Eric) or Yankee fan (Phil) will verify this.

No the customer IS NOT and WAS NOT a PBA member. I was just surprised with the "I guess you have a drill press so I guess that qualifies you to get our products message. If I have a drill press in my garage and i drill my own equipment does that qualify??? THAT IS MY POINT
Title: Re: 900Global-Where to buy???
Post by: newguy on February 05, 2008, 02:58:53 PM
Wow, that's the first I've heard of this. We only sell (our policy) to brick and morter shops. Must have a pro shop, physically in exsistence that is a retail store, no internet store or ebay store, a tax id number that is associated with the shop and address of the shop. We do check, just ask the guys about the ebay balls last week.
Was the guy who brought it in a staff member. If we have a name we can check. If you'd like PM me and I will certainly look into this and put an end to it if it is not above board.

Wow, that's awesome!  Who was the message from?

I guess I'll have to track down the guy across town - he's got drilling equipment.  Used to drill out of his basement.  Maybe he can order me some balls, or does it have to be in his garage? I don't know of any shops around here that sell them.

Well we do.  And it sounds like you were talking about a company named Circle,
not 900 Global.
