I'm in the same boat as you. In fact, the only ball I've paid 'retail' for was the Track Phoenix. And it was worth it to me. Everything else, even the new stuff I've gotten for dirt cheap thanks to a pro shop in Baltimore. Be that as it may, my deals would be the same regardless of brand, as long it was with the shop in Baltimore.
I'm pretty much one of the most opinionated
(both good and bad) people here when it comes to Tracks' equipment. I choose Track moreso cause no one else does where I've been in my life, which has been alot of places. It does help that I like what it gives me as well-er, for the most part.
