They got me. I gambled and I lost.

They got me. The concept and mystery of the “surprise” is genius and enticing. All my excitement and anticipation was quickly diminished upon opening the package I received...
I purchased the “add a 3rd ball” option and I got a Radical Conspiracy, Game Breaker 5 and a Brunswick BVL. They all came in a single package that had been beat up pretty bad. None of them insulated or padded to protect during shipping. It’s nearly a 50lb package so you can assume it wouldn’t be transported with the best of care. I know they say that they don’t guarantee anything but I thought I would be at least getting a “used” ball in decent condition. Cleaned up and resurfaced or polished to factory at the very least but no. These were covered in dust, debris, nicks and lane mark, picked up right from where ever they were sitting stored and thrown in a box. Mismatched individual boxes that were ironically from a couple balls I requested if possible in my description to them when purchasing.
They are also DEMO balls. So ALL 3 finger holes are drilled for interchangeable inserts. Too wide to possibly just change out the finger grips to your fitting. Maybe fill and relocate the thumb. No, all 3 holes need to be filled, which isn’t cheap (quoted $80 each ball). For the cost of this package deal, getting the ball filled, refitted, regripped, surfaced and cleaned, I would have been better off spending a little more and getting a brand new ball I actually wanted.
I did receive one ball that was “new” and not drilled but its a signature series Johnny Petraglia Brightening Veterans Lives, which I’ve never heard of so I did some research and found many people on Reddit who did this Surprise Deal also got this ball. So they just have a large stock that they just throw in most their packages to get rid of it since it must of not been a successful selling ball considering it was released years ago and they still have them new.
Again, I read the description, I know they don’t guarantee anything you request and I took the gamble. I read all the reviews, which now Im questioning if they are real. It’s a great concept and smart business plan to get rid of unsellable inventory. I just wanted to write this review to provide people with the other end of the spectrum. In the end, it’s a gamble. Best part of this purchase was the anticipation and mystery waiting for the delivery. I wont be keeping any of these balls, hoping a friend or someone in my league will want them.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We figured when selling mystery used balls we'd have some unsatisfied customers at some point. Up until now, it's been mostly positive responses. We're sorry you didn't like your ball choices, but appreciate you leaving this review so future buyers can make informed purchaces. When offering this package we debated whether or not we should plug and resurface these bowling balls and list them at a higher price - but ultimately decided, to sell them 'as is' and offer the lowest possible price.

Very nice deal

I just received my 3 "Experienced" balls and could not be more pleased. I received a Radical Crypto Boom, a Hammer Scorpion Low Flare and a Hammer Purple Solid Reactive. All were drilled with the Turbo Thumb Switch Grip and the finger tip locations on all of them were perfect. And to think I was looking at buying the Hammer Purple as my next ball. My daughter and I both throw a 14 pound bowling ball, so it is easy to share this great deal. Will buy again.

Got what I wanted

I was debating on buying one new ball but I have a bad habit of buying balls. So I went with the experienced mystery box because you get three balls for the price of one and they had 14lbs in stock finally so I went with it. I know they were used but if I would have bought all three new and drilled with grips it would have been unaffordable. Going this way I saved a little over $300 and I got the ball I really wanted the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid,

and also got the InfamousHammer, and a new Johnny BVL ball which are just bonuses. I'm so happy Thank you bowling world definitely will recommend and order from them again.

Awesome Deal!

I received a set of three exceptional balls: the Knockout Bruiser, Game Breaker 4 Hybrid, and Melee Jab. It's worth noting that the Melee Jab ball is actually brand new and has not been drilled yet. Rest assured, the other two balls are also in excellent condition. You can make your purchase with confidence, knowing that you won't receive any subpar balls.
