Which bag should I purchase?
« on: June 06, 2010, 01:05:13 AM »
I have an old bag a friend gave me and am looking to purchase a new one.  I found these two on bowlingball.com.  Which do you think I should purchase?

If you can handle carrying 30+ pounds around and don't mind doing so, buy the tote.  It takes up less room, it's easier to get in and out of the house, and it costs less than half the price of the roller.

I'd personally buy the roller, but I'm getting older and don't like putting stress on my back just before I bowl.

Get the roller. Even with wheels there will be days that it is heavy

Get the Rolling Thunder model of the Storm bags. For the extra money you''ll get a 5 year warranty instead of a 1 year warranty. They are much sturdier and will last a lot longer.

I see lots of bags come and go. There is no comparison in my opinion.

I'd always suggest an in-line roller - and better invest 10 etxra bucks into a sturdy design with big wheels than saving a bit and have the roller fall apart or handle badly.

A tote - esp. with 2 balls - is not easy to haul around, IMHO the roller is the more comfortable approach.

Additionally, you can add a single ball tote (attaches to the handles) or a Joey bag in the future, if a third ball comes along
