Why no columbia?

[makka]

I was just wondering
Why on earth is it so hard to find decent columbia equipment in this country?
After making at least 25 phone calls to different centres and amf the so called main columbia distributor, im still unable to track down the ball i am after. I was told by a pro shop manager that there is a lack of distributors for the columbia line in australia. Which is a shame because there are so many new columbia balls out on the market in the states but ive never seen them here. Any way i was just wondering if any body had any thoughts to why there is this problem?

Cheers

Let me guess ....
You want a 15 pound Columbia Reaction Ricochet??? AMF ran out of those very quickly.

Whatever the case is, you may want to give Brandon Q or Mark Foster a call, they may be able to get you what you are after.

Email me if you would like their details

Im actually after a 14 or 15 pound messenger pearl but having the same trouble all the same. No one i speak to seems to stock the top shelf stuff

If you are after a messenger pearl you may have to wait a bit, but if you can handle the solid green messenger, they have one in stock at Maitland Bowl, price last time I checked was $267. If this appeals their phone number is 02 4932 7977.

If you are really after a Pearl Messenger, and you cant find one after ringing these other distributors, try AMF again and see if they can tell where they distributed Pearl Messengers to centres that are close to you or anywhere for that matter and see if you can get someone to post it to you.
