If anyone is interested, if your pro shop deals with Classic, they are now offering 900 Global equipment.  I know this has been a sore subject of how pro shop operators won't deal with the company directly and would rather go thru a distributor.  Let's face it, if a customer walks in your shop and says "I want a Pearl Break".  What's going to be the reaction?  Are you going to say, "I can obtain what you are looking for, but you will need to pay for the ball upfront"  or will you say "We don't carry their equipment, sorry"  I would hope as a pro shop operator you would offer to get the ball they are requesting but have them pay for it upfront so you don't have to worry about not having a 30 days net term.  You will have a happy customer.  Now, if you say the part of "we don't carry their equipment, sorry", Who is really losing out here?  YOUR CUSTOMER.  They also might not be a customer anymore.  They are the ones requesting the ball.  You should be able to get it for them.  I can tell you if they are really serious about wanting a 900 Global ball and you ask them to pay for it upfront, they would!  At least now there is a distributor that you can obtain their equipment thru.

Ace mitchell also supplies 900 global equipment. Has been for a while now.

And some pro shops may not deal with these Dist. or may not want to deal with them.

Some MAY be known as the Dist.  that undercut pro shops and sell to online dealers at way below PRO SHOP COST.

SO why would any smart pro shop want to deal with the Dist. that have been cutting their feet off, for the past decade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON"T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just in case you wanted to know

ok

"of course there is no evidence of the above assertion being true, however that does not make it untrue"

And in One case>>>>>>>  IT IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So bottom line,  if in doubt as to how honest your dist. is.  Then simply call 900 Global and order the ball from them.  It is so easy to deal with these people.  I feel very lucky that my Dist.  is not one of the Dirty six, Actually 7, that sell to online dealers at below our cost!!!!

See I still have good things to say about Global, even though I don't use the world famous "Pit Bull" sign.  anymore.  Because too many balls from other sites came on and complained!!!!!!!!!  oops

enough said
