I am looking at buying a new ball and have looked at a few local pro shops and online. Every ball I look at is much cheaper online than at the pro shops. I was hoping some of you that have purchased balls online and at pro shops would be able to tell me the pros and cons of buying online vs. pro shops.

Thanks,

One benefit of buying from a pro shop is that in the event the ball were to be defective in in way while under warranty, it is much easier to have your pro shop replace it. Online retailers may require you to pay to have the ball returned... or may not honor ball warranties at all.

It depends - if price is your ONLY consideration, by all means buy everything on line.

Otherwise, it is very helpful to have a good pro shop relationship with someone local.

I had an agreement with my old pro shop guy - I buy whatever I want wherever I want, he has all my shop work. Now I have a new guy - and he is SOOOOOOO good, I'll probably start buying direct from him - his knowledge and advice is well worth it.
