DV8 replacing my cracked ball
Picked up the new Glam about 4 or 5 weeks ago. and after about 4 or 5 games noticed it cracking around the thumbhole. Showed the PSO and he took pics and sent them to his rep. He called me the other day and said they agreed to replace it. Good to know they stand behind their products!

Yep, IT switch grip. And yeah my thoughts were maybe something went wrong when installing the switch grip but they are replacing it either way so.

So talked to my PSO the other night and he said I can go with any ball I wanted but would have to pay an difference in price. He mentioned the Brunswick Ignitor pearl so we are going with that one. He is going to lay it out the same as the Glam. The Glam was working god for me later when the line was burned up. He drilled it weaker. We never got my stats so he drilled it pin above the middle finger where my others are pin above the ring finger or even shorter. If any of this is wrong tell him not me...lol. I just told him I wanted to use it for drier conditions so thats how he drilled it and said it was a weaker layout than the Uppercut was. And whatever it was it was doing what I wanted it to. I still have the Rhino if I need an even weaker ball.
From what I read the Ignitor looks very similar to the Glam in terms of RG and overall motion. Should be good. Going to order my wife an 8lb Twist too. I tried to talk her into something heavier but she refuses. Hard to find an 8 lb'er that isn't plastic. She throws straight and fingers forward so it doesn't roll very nice but she is happy with it. I have tried to help her but she says if I bug her she will quit...lol

DV8 replaced my Thug Life with a new Grudge Hybrid when the Thug Life cracked. It hadn't been drilled yet and I think was either just under the warranty or just over the warranty. Either way, they were cool about it. They have one of the better warranties in the business.

Yeah not sure how long it had sat on the shelf. That was the whole reason for the raffle. The PSO had just got a shipment in the day before they shut down for COVID so he decided to do the raffle to get some money back and get rid of equipment that might be old by the time we re-opened. So the ball arrived at the pro shop at least as far back as mid-March. I got it June 30th but I only had about 5 games on it before I noticed it. PSO said I could get whatever brand I wanted. I was going to go with another Glam but he started talking about the Brunswick Ignitor and thought it might be a little better for what I was looking for so we are going with that.

Back when I had my pro shop I did a couple raffles a month. It was a way to get new customers in the shop.
Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

Yeah. Pro shop owners LOVE ball raffles. We had a couple centers that would do raffles quite often, during leagues. Especially if new releases were coming out.
Most of these shops are tiny and they need room for new arrivals. So, send around the kid at the counter with some tickets, raffle off a couple balls in each league. The pro shop probably makes back more than the cost of the ball...easy...and still makes the money on the drilling and probably some bonus money on accessories and foot traffic. Plus, if you're not 100% thrilled with that particular ball...he/she has a whole shop full of balls they'd be happy to swap in/out for the one you just won (for a marginal fee)...not to mention some sweet new releases coming out soon.
It's a really great sales technique. If I had a pro shop. I'd be raffling balls in every league at LEAST once every few months if not more often.

our PSO does free drilling if you buy or win from him. He does charge for inserts but the drilling is included
