Black Friday deals
« on: November 17, 2017, 10:51:36 PM »
Pretty simple, are there any bowling sites that do Black Friday deals and if so are they actually worth it or just a bit off normal prices?

Typically, they are the regular closeouts at the ‘regular’ closeout prices. Some of the closeouts may be discounted a little deeper.  But if you follow the main sites all year, you will generally not notice much of a difference. But there may be a few surprises. Keep your eyes open and I would encourage people to post on this thread of you see anything interesting for BF.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid
Motiv Forza GT
Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion

Bowlersmart gets overseas stuff and marks it down. Not much else is that great though

U think the greedy ball manufacturers are going to put their overproduced products on special for the biggest shopping day of the year? Lol think again!

There are a few deals, I feel it's the online shop taking the hit on the margin though...meaning the pro shops are the heros...
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

Buddies usually adds a few things to their must go page (granted, probably stuff that would've been marked down soon anyway). They also tend to lower the price on some. I've picked up some Black Friday deals from them in the past, there's usually something worth buying if you're looking for a toy more than a need.

Buddies has an early Black Friday sale going on now. Got a radical rack attack for 29.99.

Yes, I purchased a couple other things to get my total over 50.00 for free s/h. Sorry I didn't mention that.

The Rack Attack Pearl is tempting at that price.

Anyone know how big a step down it is from a Xeno Pearl?

It was too tempting for me. They had it at $45 a couple weeks back and I didn't bite then, but now... Sold! Interesting that they still have them in (only) 15 pounds with 2-3 inch pins too.

I ended up pulling the trigger myself. $30 for a brand new ball was too much to pass up. My son needed thumb hole and thumb protection tape so I made up the difference to get free shipping.

I got the free shipping by ordering two Rack Attack balls... one will be a gift though. Can't go wrong at that price for a ball that many speak positively of.

I had two in my cart but decided to buy the tapes instead.

I think its a significant step down with that diff.  Would be upset for paying $70 for a Path Rising which fills that slot in my arsenal but I like Pyramid (love Radical too but more for their asym pieces).  $30 for a ball is awesome though.  Paid more than that yesterday for friggin pancake core entry level plastic ball.

Thanks. I'm actually looking for a significant step down so this might work out real well. Actually starting to wish I'd bought two.
