Title: Test Staff Question
Post by: axeweldr on May 19, 2009, 11:31:57 AM
Can you ask test staff members, if you can sign up via the phone instead of having to send it via the mail?

Not trying to hijack, but can anyone tell me the real benefits of being a Test Staffer? I have seen Ogre's selling in the $87 range which is close to half off of the MSRP by Visionary. So if it only allows me to get balls at half price I can just purchase from the local Pro Shop instead. Any solid answers accepted. I would like to know before I drop funds into this.

Midnighter....sent you a message detailing out your question.

For others, the price mentioned, I believe, was for that weekend only and offered to all for the TCBA tournament had at Forum Bowl in Grand Prairie.

I prices out 4 balls for TCBA and the bag and 2 shirts and the overall cost is closer to $700 for what the TCBA gets for prices.....so there really is no comparison.

There are other benefits to being on Test Staff that TCBA doesn't get.

And as usual.....for those wondering, there was a link for the conversation about TCBA and what Visionary does for them.  I just have to find it and will post it.

On Edit...found the thread on Visionary and the TCBA:  http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=200508&ForumID=15&CategoryID=2

Just made the move and signed up.  I chose these four balls: Gladiator Solid and Pearl, New Breed Pearl, and a G-3.  I usually don't have good luck with solids from Visionary, so we are going to play it by ear.  I had the Orge Solid in the past as well as a Immortal Solid.  I hope we have better luck with this!
