Roni, I'm not taking things out of context. You said the balls were great, but that they cost to much.

You need a lesson in business and/or in sales. That's why I say you're a bad salesman. Your job is too make money/make your boss money..!! That's the purpose of any business.

The key is to make people feel good about their purchase, not to save them money..!! You don't know how much money someone has, or what they think is too high of a price FOR THEM.

A good sales person hypes up the product they're selling, making the person feel good about how much they're spending on it. If the product is good and it delivers, it's an easy sell.

How would you feel selling yourself/your services..? Are you going to tell people you're great, but it doesn't cost much for your service..? Is that they way you want to sell yourself..?

Or, would you want to be the highest price..? There's nothing wrong with being the highest price, if you're the best. Now it's your job to convince people that you are the best. Your customers will pay your pirce if you're good.

That is the difference between a good sales man and you..!! Hopefully, you've learned something. =:^D

Jabroni RELAX......
   What is the big deal, if you don't like lane1? Let it go already.
Maybe you're angry cause lane1 balls did not work for you.  I have been bowling for 20 years.  Used every company out there.  Let me tell you there is a big Diff Between lane1 and everyone else.  Purchased a BCB, XXXL two weeks ago spent $325 for both, drilled.  In my league since I switched over I've made $550 bucks.  Next purchase CB.  I'm very confident I'll get my money back.  Balls that I now have on display(deuce,Blue Hammer, Vicious, everclear, money, ez-money,scout,cuda, cuda 2000).  All of the mentioned balls were good, but they didn't quite measure up.  It was like going from a Cadillac to Benz.
Good luck Jabroni hopefully you'll find something out there that makes you happy.

OK Jabroni, Randy, whoever you are, since you don't post a profile, it's time to put up or shut up.  I scanned ALL of the PBA southern region stats through 12/8.  I found 6 Randy's.  Weiss, Rose, Russell, Bourgeois, Shewmake and Whitehead.  Which one are you?  I have a vague recollection that the proshop that you work at is in Georgia, no? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The only Randy from Georgia is Randy Russell.  He cashed twice in 9 tournaments for a grand total of $420.

IF (and the rest of this applies only IF this is you) you're making $10 per hour in a proshop and have earned a WHOPPING $420 in the southern region, (in 9 events, so I'm sure your entry fees and travel expenses put you in the hole)
it's pretty easy to figure that you earn $20,800 per year.  Assuming that you live relatively frugally; $600 rent, $150 utilities (phone,cable,electricity etc.), $150 gas and insurance (your car is owned outright), $150 food and, say, $200 miscellaneous (bowling leagues/tournaments and bubble gum) per month, your expenses total $1350 a month or $16,200 per year.  Assuming that you pay taxes at a rate of say 6% due to your low income level you would have a disposable income of about $3000 a year, or $60 a week.  At this level, I see white dots in your future.

From your posts it is obvious that you are intelligent, witty and pretty much a major wise-*ss.  I'm not sure that you respect anyone's opinion but your own and NO, you DON'T know it all.  You've expressed your opinion regarding Lane #1 ad nauseaum, it's time for you to spend more time in the other forums.  There really is nothing else for you to say regarding this equipment, we all have been overexposed to your feelings.  Unless, of course, all you're really looking for is an argument.  And if that's the case you either need to get a life, or a girlfriend!

You can argue forever about pricing but it's not about that, that's what you miss.  It's about satisfaction.  A company called J.D. Power measures this for consumers of various products. Is price a part of this?  Sure, it is.  But is it merely a PART?  Yes, customer satisfaction encompasses the entire purchasing and ownership experience.  A consumer must be satisfied that they got good quality, good value and a good experience out of their purchase or they won't purchase from that company again.  

You yourself admit that you've never had a Lane #1 product.  It would be very difficult to enjoy/hate the experience without having tried it, regardless of price.  And I would bet that most Lane #1 customers are repeat customers, for whatever reason, they enjoyed the experience.
