Test staff you belly up with the $$$ and you are a test staffer.

For MOST regular staff you need to belly up your resume which is 9 times out of 10 very good regional players and very good amatuer's.  You then receieve seed balls to test for them and post reviews.

Not exactly the same thing apples to apples.

I second everything said about Jason and Betsy in terms of the service.  As for quality, I don't think any of the big boys, whether under Ebonite or not....paid as much attention to quality that Visionary does.  

For staff, it's the newer balls where the deals really exist.  

As for the staff stuff, I think you are going to find that for the prices on the new balls, that's where it pays off.  And I did look at Buddies since it was mentioned and can tell you that if you ordered, as an example, a New Breed Solid and Pearl and an Ogre Solid and Pearl, that you are over $500 already with Buddies.  You still get a bag and shirts and towel(s) I believe as well.  

So....there is a considerable savings!!

Buddies is 25 dollars higher just on the Ogre's vs test staff prices.

You really can get ahead if you drill your own equipment or can get it done cheap or for free.

Totally agree!!  If you want older stuff, I know Jason has a lot of it.....but it does defeat the purpose of getting the break in pricing.

I meant the price for test staff membership was on the web site. I got the platinum, 4 balls,2shirts,towel,4 ball roller for $525. First notice to get new balls & free shipping. Very good deal.

All the stuff included in the Platinum level is well worth the $500 if you want 4 new balls.
