Why should I give it a rest?
There is probably 3-5 urethane balls out right now.
I bowl a few tournaments a year (4-5) and before my average gets to high I get in on virtual tournaments.
The part you misunderstand is for many this is a rare ball that many loved and may not have had back in the day.(such as myself, I was in juniors and didn't have $160-180 to spend)
I have no doubt this ball would fall in the middle of the field for todays pearl bowling balls. Which would be great where I bowl and the two tournaments I've been to so far this year. Thunder is familiar with the ball and thinks he could get good use from it so thats two people who think its worth while.
The question was drill or save, and the option I didn't put was sell. For that kind of money I would rather sell. Why, I still have 25 other balls I can drill so why not. (Including the Red Synergy ETS which I did own.) Same for the Sapphire Zone. I loved the original sapphire zone and found one new in the box perfect for a USA Pattern. Then I see one go for $200 on ebay....I love the ball but for that kind of money I'd rather sell. That paid off since it went for $300. Some one really loved that ball more then me.
The reason I have so many bowling balls is because I can get 3-4 for the price of one in the proshop. Morich awesome Revs X 2 and Finish X 2 for $210 shipped, four overseas zones for $200 shipped ect ect. So I figure why not, I just didn't drill them as fast as I thought I would. Sold many here and there and am still ahead because I had so little in them.(thanks ballreviews and ebay for that.)
Oh and no one is impressed by saying my hooking stuff hooks to much. Where Im at we all bowl on the same shot. Jigsaw gets a game here and there all the pearls fill the rest.(avalanche pearl, kick zone, High Voltage, Kinetic Solaris, Cold Fury or what ever goes that day)
So as it goes I got my M4 today and will sell the Synergy Green Pearl. Thanks to jls for the starting price.
and Merry Christmas to all.
