my shop is basically the price youd pay online + the $70 for drilling and grips so might as well just buy it in person. In fact the lower end the ball the more you save
Actually for me, the only downside to buying online is that you still have to pay to get it drilled. Often times, if you buy from your local pro, they'll drill it for free or at a reduced price. On my last ball, I paid like $9 more than I would have online/shipped...but saved $30 in drilling expenses.Originally Posted by Zaxmazr

The reason I don't buy online is that I want to support my local pro shop. He will drill anything and I could save money but in the long run if he isn't there I lose any and all local support of the pro shop which to me is more valuable than saving a couple of bucks.
I did see recently that there is an online site that will drill your ball for you in standard layouts? I wonder how well that works. Probably would be ok if you knew your exact layout. But their verbiage is all "standard" layouts - seems a little too generic for my tastes. I was looking at ball reviews and saw that.
As I thoughtAnother facebooker won this week.
But, then again, all it takes is one entry!
Maybe next time!
Yup. Facebook did it again.p

Just one more reason to hate Facebook.

I agree. Local pro shop is best but I wouldn't turn down a free ball as I know you guys wouldn't.
