Any reason why you are not into the Tropical line? That ball is an excellent quaity piece of equipment. Don't let the name turn you off...

maybe next time when i have the spare cash

will the Marauder be too strong in the hook? because it's not gonna be much use if it's too strong.. I'm considering the misfit more now.. lol..

[billf]

The Marauder may be too strong. The Misfit is a great ball especially now that the price has dropped. It's almost $100 less now than when I bought mine in January.

[eugene02]

it cost $220 which includes drilling in my pro shop.. so.. yea.. SGD rates uh!

I'd find a different shop as he took you to the cleaners on that ball. He tripled his cost. We sell them for $150.00 drilled with slug and grips including tax

[eugene02]

well, i'm based in Singapore.. They do need to calculate in the postage fees all that to their customers.. It's almost the same price all around here.. so i guess it wont be tripling his cost. but they do sure earn a bit more..

eugene02 is in Singapore.
$220 Singapore dollars(SGD) = $173.66 US dollars

Actually Eugene might have already done the conversion......Buying a ball at our proshop here (+ free drilling) will run you about 300$. I get mine off the internet and bring them to him to drill, but it can be really expensive. The first time I bought a ball/bag/shoes from bowlingball.com, the shipping cost more than all 3 together!. Right now I order from a website based in Berlin.....they are obviously more expensive than bowlingball.com, but the shipping only costs me about 25 bucks. Then I also have to pay another 80 for drilling + inserts.

You guys in the states better appreciate how good you have it! Bowling is pretty expensive for us here overseas.

Also Eugene, just my 2 cents....

I was also recently looking for a med. oil ball, and had it narrowed down to the Misfit or the Massive Damage from Brunswick. I ended up going for the massive damage (sorry Bill ) because I wanted to try out a ball with a pearl coverstock. While I was waiting for it to be drilled, I started to kind of get buyer's remorse and started thinking maybe I should have gone with the Misfit after all, but now that I've got it and played a few games with it, I'm very happy with it. It gets down the lane and kicks real hard into the pocket. I've also heard from some really good bowlers that the massive damage is a very good ball. I'm sure you would be happy with either one though.....just like I'm sure I would probably have been just as happy with the Misfit.

yea hampe.. agree with you! bowling in my country is expensive sport too! roar!!!! but.. I'M LOVING IT! =P.. will probably get a misfit as my next ball..
