I just got an email from Storm stating that, effective 2/1/2011 they are setting new floor pricing for their higher end balls and roller bags. Enforcement will be placed on distributors who will lose any and all discounts if they sell to retailers who then sell below the floor price.

Some pricing examples:

Anarchy $154

Marvel $139

Victory Road $118

Theory $133

4 ball Rolling Thunder $191

3 ball Rolling Thunder $123

4 ball Streamline $167

3 ball Streamline $96

Bravo to Storm. Let the flames begin.

jls,

I've given up on you, I stated my case on why I do not use my local proshops and you for some reason just think that I must be wrong and the proshops do amazing work. Well you're wrong, I only started buying online once I moved here. Like I stated before, where I used to live there was a great proshop, which is where I purchased ALL of my equipment. The prices there weren't the best but the drilling/customer service was worth the price bump. Please stop generalizing everything and everyones situation.

What I find amazing and amusing is when online shoppers post things like, "I can't find a decent pro shop" or I would let the 2 pro shops in my area touch my ball" Ya right...As we all know, there are no pro shops that know how to drill balls for the experts known as keyboard pounders...Who seek out Cheap...both in the price of balls and when it comes to getting them drilled...

Cobb, sir that was not targeted towards you... But that statement has been made over and over again on this site...Now if you are from a small town, then yes I can see your point...Maybe there are few pro shops to choose from...

But seriously, that comment has been made over and over on this site by so many...

And they always have "their guy" and "their guy" is always someone in his basement...It's gets old after a while...

Bottom line here, is these new policy should help Pro shops...And hopefully Pro shops won't abuse the consumer by raising their prices as Air Dry has pointed out...

Now I must pick up food... It's Italian night...

You all have a great night...

jls, I know you have asked a lot of people over time if they are from Mayberry, but I have to ask. ARE YOU

You are wrong about Gunny being a basement ball driller from Fl. You see, we have no basements in Fl.

Basement, Garage, living room, etc... It's all the same...

It is all the same. Price is the only difference.

Be good, or be good at it.
