This really bothers me...
« on: August 04, 2006, 01:35:14 AM »
Was surfing the online retailers and hit one of the larger sites.... bowlingball.com.  I know that they mix and match Brunswick covers and cores and release them on limited runs.  What I saw today was nothing short of stupid.

http://www.bowlingball.com/Product/4251/info.html

Why the heck don't ya just call it a MONTSTER BRUISER?  $129.99 plus bb.com's high shipping rates, I would hardly call this a deal.

So...for all of you seegee nomaddah boys....get yourself another Bruiser or two before they really are all gone.

FWIW...  according to their "perfect scale" the Fuze is bigger than the Bruiser.

I've done business with this company in the past and everything was perfect.  THey have great prices, but now you have to wonder what you're really getting with some of their stuff.

Is this "Fuze" USBS approved?  I realize it's a Bruiser with a different logo and color scheme (where have we heard that before? <g>, but from their perspective, it'd have to be approved separately.  Likewise for the Quantum remakes that have been floating around.

Didn't think about USBC approval on those pieces.  We may have to do a little research.

All, this ball is made by Brunswick Korea's request, they call this
a Privale Label ball.

I think this is Korea only because we can't see itin other Asian countries.

zone,

This makes a little bit of sense now, but why wouldn't he market it as an overseas release?  Sounds like he would be leaving himself open to hear from unhappy customers who find out that they may not be able to use their ball in certain leagues or competitions.


jls,

I have no interest in purchasing this ball.  The point of my post was that the Bruiser is out under a different name and bowlingball.com has it severely overpriced.

CG, I agree with you. $129 same as a Radical. The Fuze is overpriced.
BTW, this ball already release around 12 months.
Last year, I want to order a X-men Viz thru bowlingball.com - $99
This year - $134
Any idea on that???

Yeah...that # on the Zone is solid.  

This "Bruiser" is no different than listing a Ravage II, III, IV or V on ebay with a starting bid of $200.00

No, but we're not a big Ebonite town.  What are you getting at?

Haven't seen any.  As I said, we're not a big Ebo town.  I've seen one guy with The One and he seems to like it.  Another with a Big One but from watching him and talking to him, I think the decision to buy it was made on the part of the driller and not the bowler.  "I want something that hooks a lot."  "Ok, the Big One hooks plenty, way more than that Rampage."

I don't know if you're aware of the bowling Twilight Zone I live in.  No spray-and-pray, stand-left-throw-right kids, no ball-of-the-month people with more balls than sense, and we don't have 300/800 shot every other week like they're nothing.
