The shop here wants $230 for pretty much every high-end ball from any manufacturer (Lane 1, Lanemasters, Brunswick, Morich,...) before tax or inserts/slug.  Thumb and fingers are $27.50.  Add tax and you're looking at $275.  If you bowl league, there's a discount on high end balls of 15%, so about $240 out the door.

I haven't figure out yet why I don't go to him when even with gas and two hours of driving, the guy I go to is cheaper.

$275 - drilled with inserts and tax.

The shop owner/operator claims the higher he prices them, the more he sells!

I would tell that pro shop operator to go fly a kite.. He is stealing from people.. But if people are dumb enough to pay that ridiculous price, then so be it.. They get what they deserve..

If that's what he needs to charge to turn a profit, there's not much you can do about it.  That's probably the situation here and why the balls are so expensive.  I've been to that shop before and while he's good, I can't say I feel like I've gotten nearly $100 more service than the guy two hours away gives me.

He's a nice guy, I'm glad he's taken over the shop.  Always willing to talk bowling.  He knows I don't buy from him, I asked him about an Energy at the beginning of the year and that's where I got the $240 from.  A few months later, I had my Energy for $90 from Joe plus $45 for drilling.  He knows I didn't get it from him but he's never given me any kind of hard time about it.  I'm glad, I'd be more than happy to let him do work on my stuff.
