From what I could tell, yes.  But, you know that could vary greatly by demand and their resupply.

Ringing10 asked:

Yes, they had those onhand also.  They gave me a business card that says:
"Purchase Frankie May or the Immortal Solid or Pearl, $210.95+tax, Receive Free Video & Insert Remover.  Includes Drilling, Layout & Free Fingers."  Package Value $275+tax.      (610) 780-6251

I am hoping I can get a Slate Blue Gargoyle out there Memorial Day weekend.
 


Sixcranker, since the Slate Blues are moving quickly and have been discontinued, you might want to call them and purchase one in advance, if they will do that.

Thanks for the info, does that price seem a little steep? I may look at a Granite Gargoyle instead.

Please specify that to which you are replying.

All of the prices quoted so far seem quite reasonable, if not downright cheap. Any less would not allow a driller/pro shop to stay in business. If you want to throw a pro shop out of business for every purchase you make ..... (not joking here)

charlest, Since MI 2 AZ quoted my question I did not see any reason to specify that to which I replied.
As to the prices, your wallet may be fatter than mine. $211 plus tax may be steeper to some but not to others. I also said I might consider a Granite Gargoyle instead. It's $90 cheaper.
As to throwing a pro shop out of business, I drive over an hour each way to my pro shop. I do it gladly because he's that good. Sometimes he can cut me a deal, sometimes he can't.

Ringing10,

That price I quoted for the Immortals was from a card that I picked up at the booth for a package deal.  I do not know what price they wanted just for the ball itself.  I only noted the special sale prices that they had going on at the booth when I was there.  In one of my earlier posts I provided their phone number so the best thing to do would be to call and ask them for their pricing.

Most booths that offer balls with drilling will give a discount if you do not want the ball drilled there, so the Visionary booth will probably do the same.

Edited to add:

Here is Frankie May's number - (610) 780-6251.

Thanks MI 2 AZ, I was thinking of getting something drilled there but now I may get it drilled at home so I can see how it reacts.
