Hmmm...Lane 1 putting out a majorly overpriced ball with old technology?

Who'd of thunk it?

Yeah. You know, I had a guy in Jackson county. He had a little drum circle in his backyard. It turned into a drum circle four miles in diameter. You get a few hippies playing drums and next thing you know, you got yourself a colony.

If I want one bad enough I'll just do what I did to get my fingers in something Lane #1 in the first place.

Get one used for $75.  

My BCB is the only ball I've shot 700+ with.

Sheezz...  (tough crowd here)

Sorry folks, I missed the original post on this topic.  No need to jump on my back for it, OK?

I now understand that this dealer likes to mark up balls they consider "rare".

And at that price, I'd say most of those proshops still have two in stock...

Why is it that when bowlers see this, they think "dang, overpriced piece of crap," yet when golfers see a $1,200 shaft (the ozik shafts), they slobber and think "Wow! i want one!"
