I thought it was a new Revolution/Brunswick release at first view lol.

Diamond core technology isn't cheap. Neither is having to pay another company to produce your stuff. That cost gets passed on to the customers.

The asking price for an undrilled ball is ... unconscionably high.

PRO-V1's aren't cheap either. Maybe it has to do with the name.

It's not cheap, but between 2 leagues I'm dumping $30-$40 per week in side action. In the overall scheme of things, if I really wanted a ball, I'm not going to lose sleep over paying that much extra.
 
10 years ago, high end Lane#1 equipment was going for $180-$190. It shouldn't be a shock to see it now.

They were always good if they work for you. The same as with any company.

I understand that...but what new innovative newness are they bringing to the table besides a chunk taken out of the core? 

Instead of creating a bunch of buzz about this great new product they just put it out there with an elevated price point.  If they don't watch it they will be on elites turf in terms of pricing!

And yet there is an amazingly large group of people who pay 250-300 for 6 year old "rare" balls.
