Title: Belmo Spare Ball
Post by: Cubbyjans on February 25, 2019, 11:41:21 AM
Will Storm every release another series of Belmo spare balls. Black Belmo? White Belmo? Met a guy with one and he would sell it to me for $10,000. Out of my price range as a rookie bowler.

Thanks,
Cub Jans

$10,000?? That's such a rip-off. I will be happy to sell you a White Belmo for $9,000(plus shipping of course).

Never ceases to amaze me what people will pay for pancake core plastic balls especially when performance wise no better than a $40 shipped Pyramid Path, WD, etc.

What clout?  A guy in my Thursday night league uses a white one for spares, but no one seems to care.

id think it's the opposite.  can you imagine the amount of laughter if somebody spends some dumb amount on a spare ball for every missed 10 pin

$60-75 between a white dot and a "cool" spareball isn't a big deal to bowlers with good jobs and expendable income. Let people like what they like.

You better believe I'm going to make at least 60% of my 10 pins with the yet unreleased 900 Global Black Poly Ball. No WWRD yet.

$60 to $75 more I can totally see.  But $300+ for a plastic spare ball with a pancake means PT Barnum was right (as implied by OP those Belmo balls go for silly high amounts).  But to each their own I guess.  I mean who hasn't thought about pulling the trigger on this beaut? (that seller just cracks me up) -
