With so many bowling balls given away to PBA members and Amateur reps, how does that increase the price we pay? Are you fed up with the bowling ball company profit margins?

EXACTLY MY POINT! My local Roto Grip amateur rep walked in this week with 8 bowling balls he got free! The rest of us have to pay $200 for them! The ball companies pass the costs on to us recreational and average bowlers. Go to Jeff Carter's site and look at his 45 ball arsenal. Does not pay a dime for any of them. He has a 45 ball arsenal and one National Title. I watched Rudy Revs walk into a house with 32 bowling balls once. Did not pay a dime for them. That is why they have a $309 msrp.

You may be the better bowler, but my car would blow the doors off of yours.

Seems kinda stupid to be griping about a dime. All companies need to market their new products, and giving those products away to high profile people will always be a good marketing tool.

It's just a marketing expense for the company. If they don't give representatives balls to throw, they'll just spend that same amount of money on other forms of advertising that are probably less effective and will give them less return on investment, which will result in less profit for the company, which means they'll probably have to try charging even more for their bowling balls to make up the difference. How's that sound?
Marketing for the win.
