At what point does one admit he has too many bowling balls?

More than 5? 10? 20? 30? 40? Almost 50?

My personal "limit to nonsense" is at about 12 balls. 10, to be serious, that's the maximum number I try to keep at a time. It seems to be the number that I can frequently use in training and league/tournaments, often enough to have a feel for them and having enough fall-back options if I should need a replacement. It is also a space problem...

Depends, if you're still trying to use them all in your 1 night a week league, LOL.  If you're just collecting then it's never too many.

I think one has reached that point when they need to put a rack or more in their rooms to hold excessive bowling balls.

I used to keep 20 balls in the house at all times plus four in the car and finally realized it's just too many.

I think I have reached my limit.  I bought all the balls I own this year and my girl says I have reached my limit. 10

I will wait to Axewelder will chime in on this one, but I have 2 - 12 ball racks
full and 12 in the trunk, for a total of 36 ! If I did not work in a pro shop, and did not drill my own equip, I probably would have under 10.

Dan K !

Come on John, you probably can beat that total !

I agree w/ Monster Pike, I have probably 15-20 bowling balls at home, but I don't try to throw them all on league night unless I'm really lost and fishing for something.  I take 4 and a spare ball to league (5 + spare to PBA X league or tournaments).  My hobby is trying out different bowling balls and drills because I'm a student of the game.

Its bad at my house since my wife and I both bowl,and my 9year old son just started bowling leagues. I have a closet with a ball rack that has 21 balls the floor has 10-15. The spare bedroom has our roller bags and other bags that have 20-25 balls.

I figured I had too many a few yrs ago, when in my room I had 20 bowling balls lined up around the base of the walls.    

After that, I sold a bunch of them, and cut down to 8.   because all i had was two 4 ball rollers, to keep bowling balls in.

Last year, I had 30+ in the kitchen/dining room
24 in boxes in my office
9 in the car
a dozen on the back porch...
and a couple of dozen in the garage.

I'm now down to 2 double ball totes, with balls a 3 ball roller w/balls...
and 3 more coming in...

My wife gave me that look, again...
At least she was smiling, and had a twinkle in her eyes.

I'll be getting Social Security next year...
it will all go into bowling balls.
