How many balls?
« on: September 24, 2016, 01:13:12 PM »
How many balls do you carry to league at one house?  For years now I've been taking 4 balls.  Oil, Medium, Dry and Plastic.  After thinking about it I found that I usually only use one ball plus plastic.  Sometimes two but very seldom three.  I'm really thinking about getting a two ball bag with a tote for the spare ball and cut down on all the choices. 

Anyone else doing this?

One league (higher caliber of bowlers): I bring 2 + plastic (Phaze II and Marvel Pearl)

Second league (more fun league):  I keep 3 in a locker (Critical Theory, IQ Tour solid, and Fight) and bring Phaze II and plastic.  In this league you never know what lane transitions you will face from week to week, i.e. carry down or burn up the outside.

For league it's three total (one spare ball).  Usually one goes untouched. I have a personal rule to not switch balls unless I've tried everything else first. 


For me the dilemma is which three?   Too many good choices!



That is me as well. I always seem to tote my 900 Global Train, but the other 2 balls vary all the time.

I also have just a few balls laying around that I will never throw in league, just for tournaments. I don't like putting extra games on tournament stuff, I'm too frugal.
