John... that reminds me when i bowled in the Borossa Valley cup about 10 years ago. I averages 211.5 with only 1 game below 200 and high game i think was in the mid 220s from memory. I was Mr Consistent that weekend... but missed the cut by 2 pins. Im normally fairly consistent in scores...

I was talking to some bowlers last night and the topic came up about bowling a high game, and then follow through with a really low game... or vice versa. EG 279 followed by a 169

Typically group buys is a group of people all buying same time. Order together. Ship together and receive the goods together through a retailer or distributor They are still individual orders through that retailer not The person instigating the group buy. It can get messy when, like u said...

yes i do own the signwriting business.

I get all my gear maintained by the same guy that i used to go to 10+ years ago. He will always get my business as i have confidence in him, and feel i have been looked after. and I would think he knows that. And when i do decide to get my new ball, i will give him the chance to be get my...

Jim... you raise a lot of points there. this reply has to be quick as i have to head out, so might be a bit more jumpy than other replies. One thing business owners need to remember is, the future is here. Online shopping and industry competition is here, and here to stay. When a...

Thats funny you say that... someone told me earlier, if there is such a good saving why not buy up bulk from overseas and sell them cheap back here. I am not in the business of buying and selling bowling equipment. My suggestion to your comment would be, why dont 1 of the sponsoring proshops...

I sent you a PM with an offer I can pick them up this weekend if you accept

Firstly, Getting it drilled is getting it drilled. You buy an ball in Aus or O/S it still needs to be drilled and these costs need to be factored separately to the purchase of the ball. It is smart business to offer discounts for a ball and drill package in the proshop, but in this...

I am genuinely curious on peoples thoughts on, and experiences in buying from overseas. I havn't done any homework on buying overseas... Just started this discussion to get peoples thoughts on the topic. I have been told people can save a decent amount of money buying o/s and the main reply i...

We are not asking them to break it down, but we are talking about being competitive in the market. It was the proshop owners choice to work in this industry. It is in the proshops owners best interest to be competitive. We are not talking a couple of bucks... sometimes people are saving...

I already bowl there... I took 5 yrs off bowling and have come back to a decent average, and have already bowled multiple 279s and a 280. I agree its very easy to bowl there

Should the pros shops be getting better prices from the wholesalers so they can compete with the oversea buying. I know it's a catch 22. The more people that buy from overseas reduces sales from local shops. And price negotiations with wholesalers work on turn over of stock. But there needs...

WOW, another 300 at boronia... they are giving them away at the moment

i kinda agree... Wholesale should be making profit over bulk orders... the retail shop should make the most profit as they have the hard task of convinving the customer that this is theball for them. I run my own business, and i would say i am also a wholesaler, i do sell retail, but mainly...

So was i earlier. Im not saying you cant use the forum without it, but i know it is easier. Try the free tapatalk app. You cant post on the forum on the free version, but you can view and search alot easier using it. It makes posting on forums through the iphone even easier and might...

As i said earlier, to save anything under $50 a ball isnt worth going overseas for, but if someone can get a ball upto $100, and more, cheaper, then i can see the appeal. Keeping the money over here is important, and so is being competitive in business... Pro shops in Australia should be...

A few weeks back i left 4x 7-10s for the night, 4 man team, Our team left a total of 11x 7-10 splits over 3 games and the other team left 7x 7-10s all in the 1 night Thats a total of 18x 7-10 splits... there was something wrong that night.

Everyone on here is pretty keen on bowling, but what else is there you are just obsessed with For me it is Modifying my car and renovating my house. Whats yours.

i agree with supporting your local pro shop, but if you can save $100 (30% of the buy price), then the pro shops need to get there prices closer to the market. If it was a saving of under $50 i would probably just go straight to a pro shop. but $100+ per ball saving, then that's different...

It really depends on how often you buy your gear. First ball they should spend at least 40- 1 hr with you. Make sure you are buying the right one for you. More experienced bowlers, a lot quicker. 10 years ago when i was buying more gear i didn't expect a lot of attention. My proshop knew me...
