How much would you pay for a ball?
« on: August 31, 2014, 07:09:27 PM »
Hello everyone. I am doing a survey for my economics class. For my topic I have chosen bowling balls. All I need to know is at what maximum price point you would purchase a ball. We'll go ahead and assume that it is a high performance ball without drilling. Thanks everyone.

Here are your choices:

$250
$225
$200
$180
$150

All you got to do is put one of these in your reply. Thanks again!

Without drilling it would be around the $180 mark, and that would be a rare thing.  Most of the mid-priced equipment is very, very good.

200. But many mid range balls in the $150 range handle most of the ths I see.

Agree with ryan and lane; on most house patterns, a high end ball will not make much of a difference. Balls like The Freeze and Nail Titanium are considered "mid level," but they are excellent and versatile enough for most conditions. You can get both balls drilled with inserts for under $180.00.

If playing solely on THS, top shelf balls are too strong IMO. Entry to mid performance equipment is better for the league bowler.

If we are strictly ball price, you can get practically any piece for $150 internet price.

I can throw any ball bad, even the expensive ones!
