I've never bought from them in the past because their prices were higher than most on-line shops, so I can't speak in terms of their service. However in checking their prices on a few things tonight, it appears they have come down on their prices on a lot of things. It appears that several of their brand name balls are now cheaper than Buddies & Blockbuster. I do note that their finger grips are high.

Why does this always come up? Is there some magical correlation between the price of grips and the quality of services? I just don't get it.

Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't... you're probably right.

Prices, really not competitive, shipping too expensive. Will not buy anything from them, way too highly priced. Really don't care for their antics, or the Elite Brand Bowling concept (sounds a bit questionable, and really ill conceived=poor marketing).

Several Vendors that have been value oriented, and great service level.
------->
Bowling.com Free shipping when you get the code: through this website. You'll have to temporarily disable the popup blocker. Best place to buy bowling bags. Watch out, and compare prices, somethings priced right others way to high. The free shipping can have its drawbacks...price might be jacked up, being an educated buyer is a necessity.

Selected Ebay vendors and individuals, in most cases are more sensitive to shipping costs. Deals galore. They want to move product, good place to buy tape, polish, inserts, ... lighter weight items; can be sent through the US post office at a reasonable shipping price. Key here, visit Ebay often, search and discover... for liquidation, discontinued, and overstocked bowling items. Bidding on auctions, and buy it now items.

Buddiesproshop.com is great. Watch for specials and free shipping, that they run some months... otherwise compare the pricing with other online stores.

BR member Pba1g11 - Michael Cimba offers Vise products at considerable discounts. Buy in bulk for super discounts; shipping within reason. PM here and ask him.

My favorite, Allstarbowling.com or here PM allstarbowling-joe for BR discounts.
Best deals, makes excellent buying partner, for the Ballreviews.com gang. Treats BR members well. Great internet Ball Driller; Specs right on. Let's support his business, when possible, he will return the favor, count on it! Honest as they come. Personally, always my first check, and no need to venture further; accommodative.

What does the price of grips from an on line store have to do with service? There was no services performed.
