wah now than sell at this price is quite ex already.. other pro shop was selling at this price when the ball juz released in singapore.. by the time the shipment comes to singapore i think the ball become old already and new balls will be out very soon.. Laughing

speakupforyourrights SG

$40/- for both

samchia SG

i think is $82 cheaper ba.. tat shop was selling black widow pearl @ $350 last time..

Armadillo SG

If I am not wrong, this ball was launched in the USA sometimes in JULY 07. And the pro shop in Tampines was selling it in early August where no other pro shop in Singapore selling the same ball untill September.

So it makes no diff if the ball was purchase in Sept or Oct both are old ball anyway like you say. Unless you got it when it first landed here thru air.

I understand the 280 price range was a promotional price for the distributors to clear their stocks. Once they've finnish with it.......there will be no more of this ball you will see.

samchia SG

haha well as u say is true.. i usually get balls tat is first landed in singapore thru air Laughing

if i nt mistaken the shop i guess bring in the ball thru parallel importers i guess and tats y the price was like so high at $350? i think is quite dumb to get a ball at $350 where u can juz get it at $280?

richieleo SG

IMHO, I think it is not just about cheap priced balls. The service, the ability of the pro shop to drill the ball for you all play a part. I think it is a matter of preference. Personally, if I trust a shop or service provider, even if I have to pay a higher price, I would still go to that shop or service provider. Money is important, but peace of mind is more important. At least that is my opinion. Don't flame me ok? Mr. Green

samchia SG

tat i agree.. drilling of ball is abt individual preference..

Armadillo SG

True, but would you know then if that particular ball will be selling much lower price in 2 months time. So if you usually get the ball that is first landed here, then you shouldn't be complaining about the premier.

samchia SG

Any balls that first landed would nt be selling at so high price.. u can go all the shops and check.. there is nth to do wif the premier or watever..

Armadillo SG

OIC, do you operate a pro shop? I am looking for a Brunswick Fury Pearl 15 lbs. Sadly, no pro shop here is selling it at the moment.

What's the price complete with mapping, drilling, slug & insert?

Should I be looking at around $300 or less? Since you confirm that first landed ball would not be selling at so high price?

Hm....you seem to know this industry very well. Appreciate your guidence.

samchia SG

oh.. sad to say i'm dun operate a pro shop.. i'm juz a lousy bowler.. Cool
do u operate a pro shop?

hmm.. fury pearl 15 lbs hav ah.. my friend currently using it.. it is a high end ball.. bought from ken pro shop.. the price of brunswick ball is higher than some brands.. the price he bought at $320 includes mapping, drilling, slug and inserts..

if u can find any shops that can get brunswick high end ball at less than $300 than maybe u can recommend the shop to all of us ba.. we will be glad to know and visit the shop Very Happy

do the pro shop u visit bought in brunswick High end ball at less than $300?

Yishun Proshop carrying the ball u wanted...u may check it out the price..

Armadillo SG

Sorry, I dun operate pro shop & know muts abt bowling pricing.

Why it is brunswick is higher compare to other brand here? My bowling friend in state told me that brunswick is actually the most enomical brand there. Hmm.....that's strange

Ya, that's why I am asking for your guidence to find out more about the price since you said that it shouldn't be selling at such "high" price. The shop that I went to is selling abt $330 which is fine with me. You may not be interested to make purchases there since price is your main concern.

I am just curious that how you justify & reassurre that high-end ball shouldn't be retail at $350??? There are ball selling at $400+ locally......I think is Lane#1. Well, still a lots of bowlers buy. I have never heard any of them complaint about the price.

In summary, I think it is very individual to one's percieved as far as price is concerned when you make comparision. What is unreasonable to you may not be unreasonable to others. I believe is each to his own as far as he believe & have trust in it.

So I guess we shouldn't be making negative remarks about what the pro shops here retailing their balls at what price. Remember, you have your choice to choose & make purchases.

Armadillo SG

Thanks apple, I decided to purchase it from my regular pro shop if it cost slightly more than the rest.

To me, price is not really a big issue. What is important is that the driller is knowledgable & he's able to work closely with me & of course good before & after sales services.

I've been bowling for more than 15 years & tried many pro shops before to purchase my equipments. No need to comments or talks about my numerous past experiences be it good or bad.

My point here is simple. Here we share bowling tips, knowledge & anything that we can help each other. Try as much as possible not to pass negative remaks/comments around. Others have their rights too.

apple* SG

u most welcome....no prob ya!

oic..cos u mentioned no proshop selling currently...happen i saw at yishun, tatwise let u know...

aiyo..since u have ur regular proshop, is good to get from him...agreed with u..most important is the driller u most comfortable with, that's for sure.. Very Happy
