A question for all here?
« on: February 12, 2006, 05:00:17 AM »
I have been wondering.... for the bowlers on here which of the following do you primarily base your purchasing decision on:

a. the PBA show?

b. a ball a friend or proshop operator recommends to you?

c. the ball you see people in your leagues scoring with?

d. other? please explain?

more than likely ... (d)Other

I base my decision on how the ball responds to cover change more so than anything else.  Here in NY, we rarely see floods (unless bowling in a tournament or Carolier Lanes) so how a ball reacts to med heavy and lighter is considered moreso.  The above is my primary decision.

Seeing others throw a ball gives me a hint but really doesn't influence my purchase to a large degree.

My heightened and continuing understanding of the game as place more emphasis on other things besides the visual.
