Joe,

I would advise against taking advantage of the Ebonite Rebate.

By doing so, you will get back $30.00. This not only makes up the $10.00 that Ebonite RAPED you on, but also puts you in the position of RAPING them back for twice that amount. This could possibly make up for 3 total internet sales that you were RAPED on.

Please use your head and stick to your guns........

Thanks for your help .. I'm looking at this REBATE (if it's true) as Ebonites attempt to level out their approach to taking an option away from the Bowler. They satisfied the B/M shops when taking certain On-line dealers out and now they are satisfying the Bowler by giving back their discount .. right now it's only the one release but I bet they will extend this for other new releases .. not all their balls are going to be MISSIONS!

I'm sorry if I upset you with the term RAPE .. it happen in another topic .. think they were talking about the Ebonite emblem .. guess it sticks in your mind .. can't help that!

I do like this rebate approach .. it certainly would be attractive to me if I was interested in their new release!

MY FRIEND JOE...

Storm is joining Ebonite with price controls as of 2-1-11....

They must have realized that they also need to protect their products or end up being the "Northwestern Golf Co. of the bowling industry...

Smart Move Storm...

Wake up Brunswick...

BB.com doesn't sell as many balls as you think ..............

Afraid you'll have to help me out here .. can't respond since I don't know what a #6 is! Fast foods are not my thing .. I have tried 5 GUYS (once) don't remember numbers on the menu! What exactly did I say in this posting that you take exception too?

Make that $25 on the Loaded...

Now rebates alone are not the answer...Both Ebonite and Storm feel the importance of protecting their brands image...As Storm said, they seem to feel that the consumer may think of them as a DISCOUNT brand...

So Storm much like Ebonite have taken the steps they feel will protect thier image...

They don't want to be the Northwestern Golf Co. of the bowling industry...

Now once again...Wake up Brunswick............

Well sir, the good people at Storm saw it different... They felt that it was making their brand out to be a discount brand, as per that Quote from THEIR letter sent out to the Dist. and the pro shops...

And there were other factors listed...One that caught my eye was the one about how some consumers buy at a low price and then have a hole pounder drill the ball... and Storm felt that many times, the ball is not drilled using the drillings the way Storm intended them to be used...And then when said ball did not perform, the ball looked bad...

Congrads to Storm and Ebonite for stepping up to the plate...

Wake up Brunswick...

If they thought the ball drillers were doing wrong .. why don't they put out something that will train the ball drillers? Why does making the BOWLER pay more correct the problem???

JOE FALCO · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:59:24 AM »

How does it fix the problem with drilling if I continue to buy on line (for more then I paid before)?

Joe-

Doesn't fix your issue, but, JLS is right. Do you know how many balls are bought off of ebay and other online outlets that are then drilled at the basement hole puncher for $20 because the shop down the street charges $45? LOTS! Then, when ball X does not react like the other guys ball X on your Tuesday night league, the person who bought that ball online and saved a few bucks, and then saved a few more bucks by having the hole puncher drill 3 hole into the ball without ensuring it is within USBC specs, let alone pitches, PAP, etc...the person sends the ball back to Storm and says your ball sucks or whatever, and then comes to ballreviews and any other online site, drops a review about how the ball does nothing, and then badmouths the company and swears to never buy another ball from that company again because their product sucks.

NOW..take that scenario, but have the bowler go to the pro shop, have the ball (hopefully) professionally drilled and then take some lessons or pick the brain of the driller to help with the bowler's game, and then hopefully the ball reacts as intended. So, maybe the guy can only buy 1 ball instead of 2, but the long term effects are much different for everyone involved.
