Pull the Trigger now, or Hedge on Bowl Expo?
« on: June 02, 2016, 06:14:18 PM »

In a bit of a conundrum, everyone..

While keeping up to date on USBC membership, I actually took the entire year off. Now, I'm planning on getting back into everything, and am updating the balls in my bag.

I'm wanting to throw in a Warrior Elite, Scandal, and Warrior to go with the BWRL that I have in my bag, and possibly go AHFS or GameBreaker MVP for the benchmark.

However, with Bowl Expo coming up in the next 3 weeks, should I hedge my bets on what would be demoed there, or pull the trigger for what I know would work? Money isn't the object here, as the money I saved for taking the year off would go towards the purchase. However, time is a factor, as I would have to get these before Bowl Expo.

So if you were in this situation, what would you do? You know that the gear there is really good stuff and would essentially be NIB but a year out of date, so would you pull the trigger on what you know would work for you, or hedge your bets on the unknown to be demoed, wait the extra 3 - 5 weeks, and risk your shop not having the supply anymore because the balls are being pulled out of distribution?

BL.

New BW Spare. This one actually has the Gas Mask core in it. Perfect replacement for Taboo Spare or True Blood.
