Bowlers are so cheap, it's mind boggling. I don't give a rats ass if Brunswick balls are priced 10:1, I'm not getting their sub standard stuff. Now, if you like to stay to the right, great, soon as it's time to open up the lane, forget it.
I'm a bit curious though. Was there something about the Fight that you guys didn't like? Seems like a ball I would need to drill dtronger because the core goes forever.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the phaze or fight, consumers are used to a certain teaction, these are slightly different, I love having a complete bag, not a bunch of the same rolling stuff..
The Rocket Power looks kinda likr the Shooting Star. I wonder how close the ball reaction would be seeing how the specs aren't far off either.
In 1998 I saved up for 2 months to buy my first high performance ball, An Attitude 3. With grips and slug + tax, it was around $230.$230 in 1998 has the same buying value as $336.01 in 2016 according to the CPI Inflation calculator. For the performance in relation to current inflation, bowling balls are cheaper than ever. We're lucky that high performance balls aren't $399.99 MSRP.
I never paid $200+ for a ball in 199X... No time, no place, no way. Gotta throw the BS flag on that one.

Gotta throw the BS flag on that one.In the fall of 1996 I paid $170 plus tax for a Track Synergy ETS that was marked down from not selling over the summer. That included drilling, inserts, and a thumb slug. In 1997 I got a Defense Zone for $170 plus tax with slug and inserts and wasn't charged for drilling because my brother worked in the shop. Zones at that time were $199 in all of the shops I went to and Quantums were $250.
