WHO HAS THE BEST PRICES ON BALLS...
« on: July 30, 2003, 05:59:30 PM »
HIGH COST:
MO-RICH (Notice the word rich in there)
LANE 1: Their Logo is a Diamond....what do you expect.
Brunswick Technology Ventures: The long name justifies the high price.

Who do you feel is most reasonable and unreasonable in way of $$$$ spent

Well, for the performance vs. price, I have to say Track is the best right now, not too far behind is Storm.

If you have a PBA card Lane 1 actually has reasonable prices.  Thus, I do not have one, but know of a few people who do.

I don't think you can really compete with Visonary prices.  Their Gargoyle line is super versatile and virtually inexpensive to boot.  You can purchase both balls for less than the price of most high end equipment.

I have to agree with Jeff. Roto Grip has it with the Silver Streak Line. I am only missing the Solid and if I didn't have my V2 solid already in that spot I would get it too. Including shipping and drilling I only spent $40 more than my V2 ($220 locally) a year and a half ago for both the SS Pearl and Particle ($250 for Both from Doug Sterner)

Wow, that's outrageously high for a V2.  An Apex must be $250 or more, no?  Or are they charging top-of-the-line prices for the Vortex balls?

I'm too poor (cheap? ) to buy new balls, so it really doesn't matter to me.

This was a while ago and this was for thumb and finger inserts too. His regular price is $179+tax+inserts. That is why he only does my maintenance work and stuff I need to do locally. Doug gets all my new ball business. The worst of it is he is one of the cheapest in town and he is on the Pros staff for Ebonite. I think he does charge $209 for the Apex's and $219 for TPC's. He even charges $130-150 for Savages and Predators. Like I said, that is why I don't buy new locally anymore.

How about the new Hammers? The Blade series has got to be the best ball out there for the money bar none! C'mon Hammerheads, back me up here! All of the Diesels are excellent buys as well. Haven't thrown the Vicious, so can't say.

spike212,

Coming from an ex-hammerhead and now back again hammerhead, I agree with you totally on the Blade and Diesel series. I have a Blade reactive and have a Sling Blade coming and recently drilled up a Turbo Diesel and I love that ball.

I have not tried the Vicious series enought to comment. I also know user g_thing loves the Blades and Hammers as well. I know because he made me see the light and come back home to be the Hammerhead that I am once again!!

Remember, Nothing hits like a Hammer!!

I have to back up the hammerheads.  I have the Diesel Particle and the Diesel Pearl and they are awsome.  I also have the blade pearl which hits and ton and you can also open up the lanes.  I have had the original vicious that was also a good ball but I think that is was no better than my Diesel particle.  But as far as cost and performance I think the Blade Series and the Diesel series have to be in the top 2.  Hammer is back and they have definately did their homework on reactive and particle this time.

My feelings on this..

Reasonable...

Columbia - Messenger Series...WOW/Wicked/Wild......excellent
Track - Hex Series, Voodoo, Thrash, Mojo.....excellent...

Unreasonable..

Lane 1..........you have got to be kidding me...do they cook and clean and do my laundry for those prices???...

Only my humble opinion....

Hey King, I'll back you up on that last statement. I have my first Lane 1 and it won't be my last. From now on, I'll never buy anything except Lane 1.
