Go to your local pro shop and ask for a package price. I am sure that this will be at least on par with online offers (incl. shipping), and you might get a break on drilling service as well. Online must not be the best offer.

Seriously, you're best bet is to find somebody on here that can get what you need.

The online shops aren't going to give you any discount, and they've already figured in the shipping cost per ball with their prices.

Using somebody on here you might save an extra $5-10 off each ball because of the combined shipping.

I agree, goto your favorite local pro-shop and see what he can do for you 2 since 4 ball's are involved. SUPPORT THE PROSHOP!!!!

My pro shop charge's $65 per ball not bought from him NIB. This does not include finger insert's or thumb slug/sleve. Then he charge's full price for those instead of free with new ball purchase. After all that said and done, if you need to have an adjustment made he charge's you for the adjustment. Now let's say your new ball crack's on you, chance's are the online shop won't deal with you and neither will the pro shop. If you bought the ball from the proshop chance's are good he will beable to replace the ball and everything free of cost, I normally tip my proshop guy $5-10 per ball and it's gotten me a few good thing's in the past.

I plan on buying a new ball here soon and it won't be a NIB ball bought off the internet.

Until you have to pay $65 to get it drilled, have no warranty, and usually don't get pin and top weight you want.

Like that matters to some...All some want is to save a buck.. Bowlers who bowl for "money",  want good service, good pins, good MB's etc...

As I said before, these cheapskates that save $5 by buying online are probably the same people that are behind 4 weeks in dues and still pay for alcohol every week.

You've obviously never dealt with Buddies. They will call regarding pin/tw if they can't get close, they don't just ship whatever they feel like. Their drilling services are very reasonable, $50 with slug/grips, and free shipping. Plus they have coupons. I can have them drill me an Invasion w/grips/slug and ship it to my house for $179.99. Plus they WILL warranty it.

Local shops here--Invasion $229 + $16 grips/slugs + $13.74 tax = $258.74

Wonder where I'll buy my stuff from??? I'll keep the $78 for myself thanks.

How many of you are selling an Invasion drilled w/grips & slugs with warranty, out the door for $180??? Buddies does....
