Ever heard of something called misinformation?  It's a good way for those in charge to figure out where the leaks are in their organization.

I heard a rumor locally about the Wizard from Brunswick and I've kept it to myself because quite frankly I think the guy that told me just wanted to catch me running my mouth on here.

Hasnt Lane #1 always poured their own cores and then sent them to brunswick? Maybe its cheaper for Lane #1 to let columbia pour their cores for them and send them to brunswick.


This post has nothing to do with cores...

are you saying you dont think it will happen? i saw a lane #1 rep, to remain unnamed, checking out the covers on the c300 balls in the shop, now im not saying thats proof, and i wouldnt have thought anything of it but this thread poped in my mind and they seemed related. i didint ask him about it because i respect him enough to not try and pry info out of him, he tells me some things i find interesting every now and then, and i keep my mouth shut till its public out of his trust to me to do so. but i havent honestly heard either way from him, altho my driller is 100% sure of the switch, he said he talked to his big B rep and he confirmed it... alto this probably means nothing to you lol

Brunswick never did cores, not even there own. Lane1 shipped the cores to Brunswick to do the covers.

In my mind the question is not so much "Will they be as good?" but rather "what happens if they are BETTER???"

All of the Brunswick fans that have been touting the popularity of Lane 1 balls as being due to the "excellent Brunswick coverstocks" will have to eat some serious crow.

We are of course speculating since both the head sales rep and owner of Lane 1 have both told me they have no intention of jumping ship yet but then again you never know....

The real problem lies in the fact Pro Shops are out to make a killing. There is no reason drilling a ball should cost $40 or more to drill! That's horrible.

If a pro shop knows its customer, it should take about 10 mins to talk about a layout and lay the ball out, 10 mins to drill it and another 5 or so to make sure the customer likes it and such. So in another word, a Pro Shop could do 2 balls an hour, if not more.. so that's $80/hour.. minue the grips that cost $4 a set, and the slug that costs $4 or so... and the little things such as energy and all. Overall.. ridiculous.

If bowling balls end up over $300.. blaim the Pro Shop that wants to make a huge profit, not the manufacturer.

then where do proshops make there $$, you really have no idea what your talking about. my proshops prices are set at 194 drilled, plus tax for a high end. he makes 25 tops on a ball, EVERYTHING that keeps a proshop open is the drilling. do you honestly think a proshop could afford to keep the shop in stock, pay rent and buy materials, AND pay the employes on 25 bucks a ball? a good shop week is maby 12-15 balls. thats not gonna keep you in buissness. he had to lower his prices a LARGE ammount to make it so there was no point to buy online. but you figure, for a big one, 130, plus shipping say 15, plus drilling, most are around 50 with grips and a slug(or more) so your at 195. your only paying tax on 50 bucks, so in the long run its like 5 bucks more to get from my shop, why wouldnt you, if you trying to save 5 freakin bucks then you shouldnt be buying bowlingballs. so thats the proshop story, and the ball price, online they sell for like 50 more than everything else, so how could you possibly blame it on a shop? there fighting to stay in buissness with these super closeout sellers online...

Everybody thinks if you own a business you must be a millionaire, Yeah right, I have had mine for 15 years,There are many expenses associated with running a business, Payroll and Medical Insurance are the 2 biggest expenses, Most new businesses fail within the 1st 5 years, If it was that easy everybody would do it.

When you work for somebody else and you are done your day of work most people leave it behind and go home to there other life, When you own your own company, It becomes your life, 24-7

"Was this big of a stink made when Mo chose to go to Brunswick from Columbia? Then why's it such a big deal for lane 1?"
 there were other factors tha went into Mo leaving Columbia, like some patent laws being broken
