What brand is your newest ball and what did it cost?

[Hammer]

My newest ball that I bought not long ago was the Hammer Blue Hammer. The cost of the ball with fingertip grips, a balance hole and the highest taxes in the Union-Illinois of course-which came out to $13.00 came to a total of $172.00. Oh! Also the cost of drilling the holes for the fingers. Some of the bowling balls when you start getting into the resin asymetric stuff and add your fingertip grips and your thumb hole slug and custom layout can ring the bell for over $250.00 I would imagine. We're talking some big money if you buy two or three balls at one time plus a roller bag and shoes. It's hard to get the money if your wife is the banker. But honey, you can't get a good ball for a low price.

My newest is my Motiv Primal Impulse that I bought off of my teammate for $75, our guy that drills our stuff replugged the thumb, because I have a larger span than he does, but didn't need to do anything to the fingers.

You know, as much as I've watched DV8's videos and everything, I've never rolled one. A couple people in the leagues I bowl in have them, and my bowling center sells them. They're made by Brunswick, right?

They are made by Brunswick like Hammer is made by it's parent Ebonite.

Yup, DV8 is a sub brand of Brunswick

Well... hammer is a bit different, they were their own company, but were bought out by Ebonite

The first ball with a hook that I bowled with was an Ebonite Vortex III TPS. So, I suppose, in essence, I started with Hammer early. I had a Particle Vicious before my Taboo.

DV8 Marauder. Traded a Roto-Grip Berserk that I won straight up at the pro shop. I laid out the ball myself and have Vise IT for the thumb. Total with all including tax was $48.15. I have noticed that the more I go there the less I pay. When I had the Nexxus I won on here drilled up it was $60 plus change.

[Zothen]

I just bought a Brunswick purple Slingshot for $130 incl drilling this past Tuesday.

Billf-I can't believe you didn't want to go beserk on the lanes!

My newest addition is the Storm IQ Tour Pearl. Officially released on December 4th. It will retail around $229.95, but if you are in Oregon, I will sell and drill one to you for atleast 20% off that price ;) I have averaged just below 230 with it so far, and even got a sanction 300 with it on the second night of league that I used it.

The last ball I bought was the Roto Grip Defiant Edge for $50.00
from one of the bowlers in our center with maybe 2 games on it
at best.

He never liked it as it was drilled a little to weak for him so I re-
plugged it and re-drilled it strong for me and it has been one of
the best balls that I have bought in quite a while.

I've had constant 700+ series with it the last several weeks on
several different shots so I'm expecting great things out of this
ball in the future when I really get used to throwing it.

[Greenday]

Storm Frantic was the newest one I purchased. Cost me $150. That included drilling, finger tips, etc.

My coach is giving me his Ebonite The One for free. Just paying to have to plugged and redrilled to my specifications. Should be picking it up next week.

[GoodGorilla]

My newest ball is a 15 pound path polyester ball. I paid like 70 bucks for it, and the drilling with finger grips was 50. So there's 120 right there. I should have paid more but I received a friendly discount.

[The German Shepherd]

Just grabbed a Global 900 Hook (Red & Yellow) for $30...

[Bizwan65]

[Brother_jd]

Storm !Q. $152 with drilling included.

[scottymoney]

DV8 Marauder Madness that I won on here. $50 to get drilled. So happy with it!

[Hammer]

Congrats scottymoney on being one of the lucky ones to win a ball here.

[ssclary]

I just purchased a Seismic Desperado LE. $140 + 30 for the drill and grips.

[maximumslinky]

bought a dv8 hellraiser revenge from the pro shop a few weeks ago. total was $215 with drilling and fingertips.

[GeoLes]

I love answering this one.

My newest ball is an Storm Lucid, acquired just a few weeks ago.

It cost me $40 to drill it - Period.

I won it on this forum :)

[Cochese]

I bought a Storm Frantic about 2 months ago, first new ball purchase since around 2000. Paid $150ish drilled including grips, thumb slug and tax. Pretty fair price. I have compared their prices and figured that what it would cost to get it from bowlingball.com and then have them drill it would be about the same, I would just same a few dollars on tax. Would rather give them the biz directly. Unfortunately, the proshop owner is on Storm staff, so they push the air freshners pretty hard.

i got the roto grip shatter free drilling and free ball thank u boards and my house lanes owner

[Davec13]

My last ball was a DV8 marauder, which I won here. Cost $40 to have it drilled and finger tips.

I did see a DV8 box hidden in a closet, so with xmas then my bday coming up I think I may have another ball coming soon.

[Bizwan65]

Bought a Storm Tropical Heat for my son. $130 drilled after tax.
