Anyone know where I can buy a Ricochet Revenge (overseas ball)?
« on: May 10, 2006, 03:32:05 PM »
Guys,

I'm looking for a Ricochet Revenge. Yes, I know it's produced stateside as something else. But I'm trying to find a Revenge.

If anyone knows an overseas distributor that will sell stateside, please let me know. Thanks.

They've got the Rebound (U.S.-spec), not the Ricochet, unless it's hidden. I'm trying to find the overseas version.

Just ask your local pro shop which has Columbia material in the list. When they have good connections, they should be able to get the ball for you.

I had the case that a friend wanted a Ravage IV (also Asia release, MoRich), and my pro shop was able to order this ball through the German import company. Just took some time, and I think in the USA it shoulod even be easier.

Or just contact Columbia directly and ask them for a dealer - sometimes, thing can be that simple?

You can get a Ricochet Revenge from Team Tuba's webshop here in Sweden.

http://shop.teamtuba.se/     Then click on the + sign next to Bowling Klot to show all the different brands.. Then click on the brand you wanna see..

The Revenge cost 1600skr, which is about $215  

You'll have to ask about shipping costs etc...

Don't know if you thinks it's worth the money though, but here in Sweden the Action Packed for example costs over $300..

Thanks for the tip. And yeah, $300/ball is a little much for me right now.

I emailed Bowlers Dream, which has them on their website. They're sold out and didn't sound too optimistic at getting any more.

I've emailed Columbia but have yet to hear anything from them. It's going to take actually calling them, I suspect. That's how I got my Roto Grip Winning Streak -- literally, I picked up the phone and called their president. I ended up getting routed through his secretary to some Storm guys down in Texas who were next to a Roto booth at a bowling show, and they shipped me one straight from the show floor.

Well, I picked up the phone this morning and called Columbia directly.

Let's just say I got a slightly different response from when I called Roto about the Winning Streak. To avoid hurting anyone's feelings at Columbia, I will describe the exchange simply as "brusque." They acted like they couldn't believe I was bothering them with such a dumb question.

Do we have any Canadian members here who can tell me if this ball goes to their market or not?

Boooh!
Poor customer service!
Almost German standards...

Jess, keep it up!

Jess,

My shop guy down here is in pretty tight with those guys at Columbia, I'll see if he can talk to them about the Revenge.
