With the prices at buddies, you would have to buy one and charge $80 for drilling. Unless you are paying $40 more from the distributor (assuming you charge $15-20 more regularly), you're still charging more than $60 for drilling.

Maybe its just me, but i don't find it financially feesible to pay $250 for a bowling ball.

stanski...
KOTM is my driller...and you have to look at it in a different perspective.
You know that old saying "you get what you pay for" ?  Well, this is a perfect example of that holding totally 100% true!  

What you're paying for is EXPERTISE! And let me tell you something...KOTM has FORGOTTEN more about ball drilling and ball tech than most of us on this board know COMBINED!  So you're paying for the service you receive, + his expertise which is second to NONE !

On the downside, it's not his shop, so he doesn't dictate pricing, the owner does. Personally....YES,..I think it's worth the price for the service and expertise you get/ receive...but at the same time I think the owner of the place is pushing it a little with these prices....(caveat: this has NO bearing on KOTM whatsoever....no offense bud, you know how I feel, we've talked about it before )

KOTM has been drilling my stuff for a year and a half, and I've only purchased 2 brand new balls from his shop (Animal / WMB).  Everything else has been stuff I've either traded for, or puchased elsewhere. Does he care,...NOPE, as long as he can punch them, he's fine.  I can't imagine going anywhere else!

I can't afford to buy 3 or 4 balls from that shop either.....that's why I'll get them elsewhere and bring them in.  Not sure if the owner likes it that much, but he better not mind, because I'm still bringing in business!

Do I think the prices are too high ?  YES I DO
Do I think it's worth it at the end of the day? YES I DO
Do I think that KOTM's expertise is worth it ? ABSO-FRIGGIN-Lutely!!

Also..... $243 for a brand new high end Mo ball, with Mo being there and KOTM drilling it ? That's worth it.....(I can't afford buying an arsenal like that) but for ONE ball....oh yeah!

Reminds me of an incident that happened a few years back.

Won't go into all the details .. but .. It was uncovered that a US AGENT was paying $5,000 for toilet seats!

Who would question a US AGENT!

Don't know WHY this incident reminded me of that!

As with all of us, especially you funky drillers out there,
Don't let Mo get distracted  or start dealing with 6-8-10 people at the same time. He did that by us, and his "normalcy" was revealed.

The reason they have to charge so much at The Right Approach is because the pro shop has to pay for Mo's bar tab while he is there.
