Working in a pro shop, I'm fairly sure they're not excuses. First of all, what ball did you order, and in what weight? Pro shops are subjected to the availability of the balls from their distributors, which are in turn in the same position from the ball companies. It's not uncommon to have certain balls or shoes or other items on backorder for months at a time. It's very unlikely that they would be jerking you around on purpose, seeing as how if you never buy the ball, they can't make the profit. Have you paid for the ball yet? Even if you have, they can't refuse you a refund for services that were not rendered. Either way, they lose. It's been so frustrating dealing with some people here that my boss has had to write up contracts for people to sign if we have to order a ball. I'm not unsympathetic, but if you're dealing with an actual pro shop and not one that's online, I very much doubt they're yanking you around for the heck of it. I'd be more than happy to offer any more information or advice regarding their actions to help you figure out exactly what they're doing, if it's legitimate, or passive negligence.

HAH! I don't know ANYBODY now!
Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.
1. You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.
2. The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE. I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.
3. Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
