i have the 3 ball elite alien bag and love it. i have had it for almost a year with no problems at all. its got alot more pockets then any other brand. looks great and doesnt feel cheap. one of my bowling partners has the 3 ball elite pba bag. its great too. these like i said where bought almost a year ago so if they changed they quality to save a couple of bucks then that sucks.

elite bags are probably made by one of the same companies that makes some of the other name brands.

what really counts here is what any company will do when one of their products
is defective.

I know for sure that Elite,Vise, and Linds are out of the same plant in Asia. It seems to be the same problem with all the bags from this plant. ZIPPERS

A friend of mine bought one of their two ball bags and the zipper broke the first day.  He was totally pissed.

if you stand behind your products why is it always hard to get picutres of your balls cores and the actualy coverstocks names   not the stupid names elite comes up with.  im sorry i will never buy an elite product since gary h and i got into it about posting picutres of their cores from brunswick    all elite does is try and scan novices bowlers who dont know any better

I sold Elite bags very well in my Houston shop.  Better mark up than most all other bags, good for pro shop.  Still competitive prices, good for consumer.  Only one warranty issue and that was something that got crushed during shipping.  My Man Curtis, took care of me, no questions asked.

IMO, Elite suffers from growing pains.  They aren't small, but they aren't big.  Their quality is as good or better than anyone.  They get a bad rap because of the bowlersparadise thing.  Their accessories and bags are great!

(Billy please PM me for my address to send the check!!)  LOL!!!

Throwitright, you got the needle in the haystack.  I like Elite's stuff.  More shops should carry their products.  They have good customer service, with people that have their names and faces out there.  (Even if Billy's is not so pretty)

Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it!!!

What does pictures of balls/cores and cover stock names have to do with standing behind a product???

I bought 3 bags from elite all at once & all 3 were defective. I have 2 3 ball platinums, one with the zipper issue & the other one's handle broke. I also had a deuce for my wife which had a part of the wheel coupling thing break (since it's made of plastic) so, elite sent me another which broke as well (same exact issue) . I own a few balls & like the quality but will NEVER buy another bag or accessory from elite. It's overpriced, shoddy craftsmanship from china...  but I guess most everything is nowadays.
