Pick a Ball drawing - WINNER FOLLOW-UP
« on: May 15, 2005, 01:31:05 AM »
I'm a non-winner from the 1st drawing. I'm all for this drawing .. think it's a good way to get a ball CHEAP!

What I'm interested here is finding out from the winners (we now have 8) what experience they have had.

What contest did you win? What ball did you select? Lane 1 was NOT an option .. were you interested in a ball that was NOT made available? Did the ball get delivered to you in a reasonable time? Were the PIN/TW as you requested?

Any other info you provide will be appreciated. I am interesting in entering future pics .. but like to investigate before I proceed. Thanks!

What I was anxious to find out is .. WHAT BALL WILL BOWLERS ORDER WHEN THEY GET A GIFT? I see a FIRED UP .. 2 HIGH ENERGIES .. a VERTIGO and a BANSHEE! Wanted to see if any one chose a LEGENDS .. or MORICH or maybe a BRUNSWICK!

I also think it's good to keep everyone informed as to when these ball are delivered and how close they were to desired specs!

Please continue to stay in contact! Thanks!

As far as specs...I think we all would have to be flexible. The distributor has some balls in every way shape and form, but some, no one can stock every spec of every ball. If I win, I'll settle for 'close', but then that's just me.

qstick-good luck trying to get 2 cheaper balls. i asked for instead of one high performance ball, 2 cirlce athletic rio spare balls for my wife and i, and he must be getting one HELL of a deal on performance stuff, because he said that would probably be more expensive. buddies charges like...35 bucks a piece for these...that's fine though, i got a shock and awe and i'm going to sell it to a friend of mine who's wanted one for...guess how much? lol. the price of 2 rio spare balls.

I won drawing number 7, I think.  Won one of em anyway!  I actually picked a Big Deal but also paid Ike to send me a Zone Classic in the same order.  I was going to buy a ball that day anyhow, so this way I got two ball instead!

Hey Ike........you say that we can pick ANYTHING besides L1 stuff?  I know this is gonna sound silly, but can you elaborate a little on this??  Just seems incredible that you have access to any ball, any wieght & top.  I am not doubting you in any way, just want to know how you are doing this?  You must work at some UBER proshop!

MFORTNEY .. GREAT! I think your selection is 'what I was thinking'! Let us know if the ball is CLOSE TO or RIGHT ON specs requested! Fill us in on things that are good or anything that might NOT BE RIGHT! Thanks!

I don't work for a proshop but I do sell equipment to pro shops cause I get such a great deal.  I always get the specs I request from him and I have ordered everything except lane 1 and visionary in 15 and 16 lbs.  Special exception was the 10# banshee that I have to wait to see on what he can do.  I have ordered a yeah baby for myself through him and got it so I know he has those for sure JOE FALCO.  Morich he has but not sure on visionary as I have never ordered one for myself.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

IKE .. I must admit .. this RAFFLE seems to be very FAIR! All the winners that have responded have said GOOD THINGS through now. I'm always cautious when putting out cash .. I never mind GIVING my money away .. But I hate to feel like I've been taking! I hope you continue to be as fair as you have been with this raffle!

You will find me part of raffle 10!

Thanks!
