Title: A couple of questions for newguy...
Post by: drillbit on January 24, 2006, 06:53:51 PM
You've said that the Vendetta core is one of your favorites, and you say that it seems to work well with any coverstock. My question is: How does it work with the Soaker coverstock?(I'm assuming you've already tried it out for yourself.) If it didn't work out, what didn't you like about it? And if it did work well, why not release it(to the public)?

Just a guess, but I remember reading a while back that Soaker was more complicated and difficult to manufacture correctly, and so it's reserved for the high-end balls.  The Vendetta line is a mid-priced line, so I don't think we'll see a Vendetta Soaker for a while.

I'd be willing to bet it's been done in the lab on test balls, though.

We could not hold the Vendetta price point with soaker, the cost of soaker is significantly higher but as the soaker fans know it's durability and performance is unsurpassed. If we used it on a Vendetta the price would go up and we would lose a portion of the arsenal that the Vendetta occupies. The versatility of the Vendetta core is mind boggling, thus it is in just about every cover we have except soaker (it does work very well in soaker but ....)

Phil, can you answer the question on the Zr40 post regarding the comparison between all 3 Elements?

Thanks

I kind of figured it was a price related thing, but I wanted to know. Thanks.

P.S. - I would buy a Soaker-covered Vendetta, though, and I'm sure a lot of others would, too.

Maybe a different line all together, say the Vendetta Pro line?

As usual answer the fun part and ignore the important part....Naming it is always fun..Paying for it not so fun. So I'll ask again at what price?

So could this come betwen the price point of the Vendetta line and the Max performance line?  Maybe, in internet pricing terms, around 115-120?

Phil, how much stronger is the ATC than the most agressive resin (non soaker)you use, if all other parameters are equal? (in boards covered)

The vendettas sell online for $90-$100 and soaker line sells for $115-$130. This info is based from buddies current prices. I think $110-$120 range would be fair. However, if you made this ball happen, I would pay the same price as the soaker line if need be. Just make it happen bro. lol

Gimme a Pure Energy cover on a vendetta core and I guarantee I'll by one....or 4.

Incidentally can I get a job with DT? We could really use a Rep around here, and I think I could handle it.

I have a BA in Business Admin...or will in a couple of months.

Well thank you!  Yeah I'm hoping it will pay off when it comes to the job market, but I want to get into a market that I'm going to have fun working in day in and day out.

What could be better than being a bowling manufacturer rep/salesman?

guys,

it's not a question of whether a few of us are willing to pay the premium for a soaker on a vendetta core.

it's whether it's a viable marketing decision or not and that may be questionable. look at all the people posting here whose pro shop can't get hold of a plain vendetta, thinking it's been discontinued, because their distributor doesn't even know how to get one!

look at Buddies, a huge internet selling machine, marking down the energy line this past Xmas to $115, probably due to lack of sales.    I bought a High Energy from them for $115 plus shipping just because i couldn't pass up the sale on a great ball. i didn't need another ball.

Other than my wife and one other, who buys most of my used equip, the only problem I have is keeping everyone else's finger prints wiped off my equipment.
