Did anyone else buy the latest XR release yet?

I bought one last night, no idea what it is, but I paid $139.99 for it. LOL


And it shipped out today.

They don't go on sale to the "General Public" until March 17th.

If you bought one(or more) of the original XR balls, Bowlersmart is giving you a chance to buy it early.

But they still don't tell us what we bought. LOL

That's a great question. I didn't read the email that close and just assumed that it was limited to 333 again. But it doesn't actually state there will only be 333 balls in this release.

If it's more than 333, then it's not that limited of a release.

Please say this is just to make lots of money on eBay later.

True, it doesn't say much of anything. It was the same way last time as well until more information was slowly released. Im only going to risk buying one this time. If there is 400 or less then its an easy sell. If it is a bigger quantity it could be ugly.

Still if they do 3 or 4 different weights having two 15lbs wouldn't be too hard of a sell.....and now I talked myself into buying both again. :(

Hype driven marketing, plenty of great equipment out there that doesn't come at a premium price.  Plus I'm not one to play the, "I have one and you don't", game.

+1. I don't get it, but maybe I'm not meant to. (I get buying them and flipping for instant profit...I dig capitalism....it's the people paying a premium for one I don't get)
