nothing, didn't even know they were out! I've seen a few (well 1) guy throwing a pro tactics and pearl ultra radical. The pearl looks VERY impressive on a THS. would be interested to see it preform on a little flatter pattern.

While I might not be as blunt as Drrev, what he implies is how I also feel. Buddies has them finally available for internet sale, outside of a pro shop, but their prices are quite high for what is virtually an unknown entity.

At $170 for the Ultra Radicals and $185 for the Pro Tactics models, they are what I would expect to  pay for them drilled as I walk out of the pro shop, except for inserts and taxes. As it stands now, I'd have to pay another $40 - 60 for drilling after I get them.

While I'd love to see how at least one of them reacts in the real world. that price, is FAR out of line and I will not be experimenting with them. I did have a few AZO balls before Lanemasters bought them, even before Storm purchased the name.

Given what they are, a more realistic price would be in the $100-120 range for the Ultra Radical, and $120 - 140 for the Pro Tactics. certainly no higher than that. Unfortunately, they have very litle reputation so far.

bowlingindex and mgbowling have them for a lower price.  Maybe you should look there... although I was under the impression the pricing would be standard across the board.

The Ultra Radical Pearl is awesome ball, think Fired Up but stronger in oil.

Jim my Pro Tactics cracked in half, I would like a Pure Tactics as an exchange Johnny D. will be contacting you about it.

I will then post on here about the ball, you met me through Ken before when you were working for Storm.

I do not think they are overpriced I think Buddies is marking them way up because you cannot get them that easy. It is like a 900global deal where the pro shops make plenty of profit if bought through the AZO distributor.

MGBowling is not lower, as they do not include shipping in their advertised price.
BowlingIndex is a little cheaper. Shipping ($25) still has to be added in.
Maybe $5-10 less. Still way too expensive.

Jim has already contacted me and is taking care of me with a Pure Tactics, I will post within the next few weeks when I get this ball of what i think.

Jim is cool upfront, funny guy if anyone of you do not know him from being a Storm rep and manager of Station Casinos Pro shops.
