Any serious bowler knows 3G Bowling which is a brand of 900 Global - a large manufacturer of balls, bowling bags and bowling shoes.
Today I want to review their line of shoes for men for the 2013-2014 seasons. In consequent posts I will review every shoe separately.
With that being said 3G currently has total of 4 models in their men's line: Sport Classic, Sport Deluxe, Sport Ultra, Tour Ultra and Sport Ultra that range in price between $89.99 and $179.99.
It's not a secret that 3G shoes are kind of expensive so if you are looking for shoes for less I would recommend that you check out Brunswick's offerings.
All 3G shoes come with one year limited warranty from the manufacturer which is basically what all other bowling shoes manufacturers offer. Price wise they cost about the same online no matter whether you'll buy them from Ebay.com, Amazon.com or any of the big web sites in the bowling niche. For that reason you need to search long and hard to stretch your dollar the most.
See, Amazon and the likes has accumulated number of loyal customers who will buy from them only regardless of the fact that often times they charge much more for the products they carry.
However, if you are like me you want to get the best deal possible on everything you buy including bowling products.
Luckily there're sites with fair prices and excellent customer service simply because they need every paying customer they can get to be in business. Probably one day when they become the next Amazon or Bowling Ball and they'll start charging premium too but as of now these sites are the ones that offer deals on bowling products.
One site like this is LongLiveBowling.com. It was launched in 2012 by a former U.S. Team Coach Sean Klug who has been in bowling for more than 40 years as a bowler (started bowling when he was 5), pro shop owner and operator and coach.
What makes LLB.com different is that it offers free both ways shipping on every product on the site and one year of limited warranty in addition to manufacturer's warranty.
What that means for customers like you and me is that we have a full year to decide if we want to keep a product we purchased from LLB.com.
And please believe me when I say that there's no other web site out there to offer that. Sure, some offer free delivery, others offer free shipping too but hit you with a handling fees but none of them offers free shipping when you want to return an item. What they do is they hit you with restocking fees as high as 15%.
Why is LongLiveBowling.com so generous? Just because they need as many paying clients as they can get to stay in business. As I said earlier the site was launched about a year ago and they need a way to distinguished themselves in order to attract customers and that's how they do it.
