In my area, I can't even get them.  That's the main reason I didn't sign on staff even though I was offered a contract.  My distributor doesn't stock them and I have can't have my customers wait a week ordering direct from Lord Field.

Here in Ky, It's not going to be the easiest because guys do want their bowling balls immediately. However, I have gotten 1 person to sign up, though. The good thing about here is that not a lot of people are throwing Lord Field. After people see you throw the equipment, show them the website. I take my tablet with me to most centers and connect to their wi-fi. That is the best way to sign people up.

This type of comment from a staffer makes me say rut-ro.

Sounds like the tired old game of the big companies trying to quash the competition.

If you have a legit game and a great attitude, you can promote the balls very successfully. When I bowl, I rarely show any emotion, none negative anyway and it makes an impact. I've had the equipment for 3 weeks and already have a lot of intrest in Lord Field. I'm looking foward to future releases and growing the Lord Field brand. Try a Lord Field ball, Impending Doom. I bet you will like it.

I bet I would too. However, I wouldn't like the wait time that the staffers are reporting in getting their equipment, seemingly can't get them from anyone else other than a staffer (As far as I can tell, no online shop has them, and am unaware of any staffer in the Chicagoland area.), and the motion I see out of them. Not saying it's a bad motion at all, but they all see a little too rolly off the spot.

Maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last time. I just see no interest in my personal game to throw any, and not actually seeing any in person, so I can see the ball motion, and also, as far as I know, nobody in the video ball reviews business (I.E. Buddies, Britton, or bowlingball.com) has any videos to be able to compare motion. I know how Tony at bowlingball.com throws it, and can judge what the ball motion might be like. Heck, their video alone makes me want to try a Pyramid ball.

Have to use the tools that are available to you. Youtube is a great one. Get a couple of balls in respected video ball reviews hands, and you might have a shot at selling some more.
