I dont recall the Site giving the price for the test staffers, However you will get a price sheet and Catlog when you sign up.

The best offer is the Platinum membership. You can get up to 1000 dollars worth of equipment for about half its price.

Betsy & Jason are the best to work with as well, You can call Betsy and order a ball and it goes out asap. Everything i have ordered i have gotten in 2 days, I am sure it depends on where you live. But the customer service is #1

Test staff is not as good as it once was but it's still a good deal if you platinum right from the get go as you get free shipping with the deal.  Do remember you have the added cost of an annual fee.  There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Is their anything like this you can pay to be a part of with other companies
Title: Re: ball deals
Post by: scotts33 on December 08, 2008, 10:39:58 AM
Banger used to have a test staff.  Are they viable right now?  Don't see anyone from Banger coming forward on their forum on BR.com  Ask I_Bowl_for_Money he can give you more info......I think.

BTW.....IMO for a test staff membership to become worth it you have to want to drill at least 4 to 6 balls a year to make it pay.  

Let's face it on a THS I could drill two and be happy.

Yes every company has this.  Just go buy a few of their balls, and shirts and bags, take them every time you go to bowl, and you're on the test staff

Test staff you belly up with the $$$ and you are a test staffer.

For MOST regular staff you need to belly up your resume which is 9 times out of 10 very good regional players and very good amatuer's.  You then receieve seed balls to test for them and post reviews.

Not exactly the same thing apples to apples.

I second everything said about Jason and Betsy in terms of the service.  As for quality, I don't think any of the big boys, whether under Ebonite or not....paid as much attention to quality that Visionary does.  

For staff, it's the newer balls where the deals really exist.  

As for the staff stuff, I think you are going to find that for the prices on the new balls, that's where it pays off.  And I did look at Buddies since it was mentioned and can tell you that if you ordered, as an example, a New Breed Solid and Pearl and an Ogre Solid and Pearl, that you are over $500 already with Buddies.  You still get a bag and shirts and towel(s) I believe as well.  

So....there is a considerable savings!!

Buddies is 25 dollars higher just on the Ogre's vs test staff prices.

You really can get ahead if you drill your own equipment or can get it done cheap or for free.

Totally agree!!  If you want older stuff, I know Jason has a lot of it.....but it does defeat the purpose of getting the break in pricing.

All the stuff included in the Platinum level is well worth the $500 if you want 4 new balls.
