this will make jls wet his pants if you know what i mean. or tizzle for that matter 

I understand  wanting to protect a product line,keeping a strong name in the fields your product represents,but something here does not feel right. I personally do not think Storm or Ebo cares one dam about the b/m pro shops.At the end of the day they are in business of selling the product.I have read the debates on previous threads with interest.I find some truths on both sides of the debate.People who buy on line are not going to stop,they order what they want, when they want it.They will all ways be looking for a deal. I do see a lot of bowlers foregoing a new ball purchase for the next 6 months to a year.With Companies releasing new equipment every 2 to 3 months there looks to be a surplus of equipment very soon.Will these Companies be able to eat the surplus as the sells decline or will they revert back to slashing market prices to unload the products.It will be interesting to see who blinks first.Pro shops have had to adjust to the e- net sellers,but in the end the ones that have survived will be the stronger for it.They learned to sell a service instead of just balls. They became more informative,more professional.They do a better job of staying up on new trends.I think the business of bowling needs both,pro shops and the e-net companies. Let us all hope that us bowlers are better served when all is said and done.
