That's a good point Coleman, but my humble point of view here is that I have to spend my pesos carefully. I can't afford one ball a month (I wish I could). If I can get a 2-3 years, or even more durable ball for 150 at bowling.com, well, I think for me it's a good deal. In fact, I'm considering those Agents too for my next arsenal (seriously, thanks for your recommendation), but a friend of mine I think I have seen him for 2 years or something with a couple of L/LM and they work as new (or close). As you can see, I'm all about durability.
