Didn't think only 45 days after the public announcement it's already getting tight.
« on: March 20, 2007, 03:06:48 AM »
Well after talking to some distributors, they are all saying the samething. There is practically no White Dots left just about anywhere and there is no polyester balls in 14lbs in any brand left. They have been all bought and becuase columbia's plant isn't shipping anything they haven't been able to refill shelves. With brunswick constantly have delays and slower than average shipping it's getting to a point where it's becoming harder to find a spare ball than popular high end balls.

Will there be no end in sight of constantly back orders and delays?

SO RIGHT,  normally we would have a problem finding a spot on the wall for all the new release's.  right now we have at least 18 holes on the wall.  and no balls available to fill those spots.

and that's now considering the models that we have brought in that we didn't
normally carry.   just to plug some of the holes.  

and there are many b/o on the top line models.

We are also having trouble getting Tropical Storm's in weights less than 14 lbs. Since thoes were also being produced by Columbia, they are suffering as well. It sucks because the tropicals are big sellers in my area and no one can get one. People arent very fond of the colors of the Tornado's and the Scouts, which you also cant get.

Don't really need expensive plastic balls, the starter bowler is not looking for a clear poly.
