BillDozer, I had the same issue with my Crux.  Loved my Lock, and didn't want it to be too close to my Crux, so I finished my Crux to 4000.  Now my Crux is my go to ball.

I didn't care for the sky rocket and lately it's been my GO-TO pearl..

The lock and alpha have been $169.95.  Have you been under a rock the past year? Hammer is is at $170 as well. 

Honestly might try Brunswick, it's so much cheaper.  It's literally 3 for 2, especially if u buy clearance.

you can get 3 for 1 on clearance through the distributor. They have to buy so much volume that they have hundreds left over.

you need a business ID or tax number. Start a "pro shop" in your garage and reap the rewards of extremely cheap Brunswick gear. I think I have a distributor that still has Lethal Revolvers.

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.

which was exactly Richie Sposato's point when he priced the Difference. He said he priced it where bowling balls should be priced in 2015. And people balked. Bowling is a cheap man's game.
