Their site has elite balls listed for "informational purposes only".
With this word of advice attached to each description.

The only question I have is why would Robert Smith hitch his wagon to them if the products didn't work? Then again, he can make almost anything hook.

If I remember right, you can make a Blue Dot hook (albeit a little bit)

Why are these balls so freakin expensive? They cost more than Lane#1 stuff.

Why would Bowlingball.com sell the balls? Isn't Elite Bowling and BowlersParadise.com owned by the same person?
They used to be exclusive to BP, but I've seen them on a couple of other sites.....of course BP is the cheapest!

Because:
They spend a TON of money marketing this ball
and
There's a sucker born every minute.
These balls are nothing more than Brunswick core and covers with SLIGHT varations in the covers and minor tweaking of the cores. No new covers or miracle balls here...

They are not expensive, they just try to protect the price for pro shops, on the other hand, other manufacturers let those online retailers selling there stuff dirt cheap.
