Have you ever answered a question without being a dick?

Never thought of that. They're physically close enough.
BolwerX is in Bethlehem, PA, about 5/10 miles west of the PA/NJ border.
Innovative is in Jacobus, PA, 20-25 miles West of York, PA.
I'd guess they are 50+/- miles apart as the crow flies.
But that closeness could be coincidental.

Order something from some of the bigger internet dealers and a lot of items are drop shipped from other wholesalers. I do know that Innovative and VISE have a connection. East coast/West coast dealers.

GFY. And that doesn't stand for Good For You.

Go back to whining about getting beat in a handicap league.

Post by: kidlost2000 on April 03, 2015, 08:41:06 PM: As already stated it was likely drop shipped. You can buy direct on innovatives website. Check bowlerx price to innovative and see how you did.

Pretty sure this was done in January of 2014 from the information I was given.

Post by: luv2C10falll on April 06, 2015, 03:32:12 PM: I'll ask John at Innovative about this
Title: Re: bowlerx and innovative
Post by: iamone78 on April 07, 2015, 01:02:53 PM: This came from John or his brother (can't remember which one) during the last pro shop class in November of 2014.

Post by: Blockbuster Bowling on April 07, 2015, 05:50:06 PM: Vise and Innovative have been partners for about a year or so with the intention of Jim Nesbitt the owner retiring and Innovative buying him out completely.

This is in the works right now.
