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?

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.

Turns out, my son needed new slide sole and heel. Wore the felt off them in spots.  Would have been nice to tell me that before. But I ordered from Buddies. Had to find something to add to get free shipping, bought a second ball lol.

Really hard to lay off a Radical Cash at $115 at Buddies.  Also have Hammer plastic pancake balls for $20.  Almost makes me regret buying a Pyramid one for $40 shipped except I really wanted a ball without graphics.

Damn it couldn't resist The Fix at $90.  Going to wait to drill that one later but so versatile that is a good ball to keep in a box until you might need it.  Don't know how much longer that ball will be around.

One thing you can count on, Brunswick/Radical/DV8 balls will be very cheap within a few months after their introduction.

If I used their stuff, I would never buy them when first released.

Well I did need a strong asym for league and even now the More Cash is only about $35 cheaper but yeah you live you learn.  Whereas Storm will still be charging top shelf prices for a ball they released more than 6 years ago (Marvel Pearl) and get it too I guess.

It's all about supply and demand. I think the facility that Brunswick runs can turn out a lot more product than the Storm facility(s). Storm always seems to be short of at least one of their product lines, whereas I don't recall Brunswick and/or Ebonite having that issue.

Just my impression on the situation, which has no basis in fact, just supposition.

I could only get one of those plastics to show a weight, 8 lbs. otherwise I would have bought one. The other wouldn't show anything when clicking the box for selecting weight.

Yeah done paying full price for balls now have a decent arsenal.  I love my More Cash but just threw a 240 this morning with my old BVP Rampage which I think I paid $100 for tops a decade ago.  Equipment is often overrated.  Happy now more consistent and can get at least near 200 consistently with nearly any ball in my arsenal.

If you did not pick up one of those Rack Attacks for $30, they are sold out now.
