My local pro-shop is selling the Track Triple Threat at ridiculously cheap price (Â£50 off RRP, around US$70 off retail price).

No I donâ€™t need a new ball.
No I donâ€™t know what Triple Threat is like.

However it seems too good of an opportunity to pass up. So, would any of you buy a bowling ball just because it is cheap?!?

Well, just look at this, and then you'll know stuff about it. I say buy it, if it's cheap, why not? IF you don't like it, you can just sell it.

Omega,
I'm a complusive ball buyer too!

Lilmike,
Brand new Triple Threat is Â£110, that's $US190 including drilling, finger inserts and thumb slug. We in the U.K. are not as lucky as you guys, everything cost double here. e.g A brand new Inferno, X Factor or Animal will cost $300!!!!!!! And if the a new ball like the Animal Untamed comes out in the U.S. in April, we'll be lucky to get it in June.

For open bowler, a game can cost US$8-9!!

Crazy rip-off

I guess I'm in the minority...unless I have a need for something or I think I can flip it on eBay for a profit, I wouldn't make the purchase.

i agree with michelle and that is exactly what i would do. if a ball cost normally 150 shipped brand new and i get it for 100, i would throw it on ebay make a little profit and add it to my paypal bowling ball fund. lol
