Visionary test staffers
« on: August 10, 2007, 02:02:15 PM »
Hi, I was thinking about maybe trying to pay the fee to become
a silver level Visionary test staffer.  There's been a few
Visionary balls that I've wanted to try and for whatever reason
just haven't done so.  On the silver level, it comes w/ a ball and
shirt w/ 50% discounts on any additional purchases over the next yr.

My question is how good is the 50% discount???  Are the balls retail
priced at 250-300 bucks + drilling, or are they pretty close to what
most online pro shops charge ($100-140)???  The discount doesn't seem
to be worth it if 1/2 off only equals the price anyone can get online.

Just curious

BrunsNick,

I know for a fact that Visionary has pro shop programs for those that want to do it.  Gran Prix stocks their stuff and have had no problem ordering from them.  I believe that with the bigger companies such as Ebo/Ham and Brunswick dominating the market, that most other distrbutors and bowlers are reluctant to give them a chance even though they have been in existence for 10 years now.  

What gets me, is how bowlers raved about how good Faball was in the 90s and yet these are the same guys that ran Faball.  Yet, alot of the same bowlers choose not to give Visionary a chance.  Those who have tried VBP have had nothing but positive experiences with both their equipment as well as the customer service.
