At what point does one admit he has too many bowling balls?
« on: December 18, 2008, 01:06:16 AM »
More than 5? 10? 20? 30? 40? Almost 50?

Maybe this topic can lead to a new way to bowl leagues...

One ball each week...same ball all night...and you can't use the same ball more than one week all season.

That would mean around 35 or 36 different balls...

And that means I still need to buy 10 or 12 more...~smiling~

I have about 20 or so NIB plus the 4 I have drilled.

I can still only bring myself to have 4 drilled at a time. The NIB collection could never be big enough. I guess it depends on the person.

When my wife tells me to reduce inventory LOL.  I usually will donate old balls to be used with the high school bowlers where I bowl.

When the person owning the balls doesn't improve his game.

There's one guy, THAT guy, on our Friday night league that has EVERY LANE#1 ball ever made.  And he brings at least 10 balls with him to league night and uses each and every one.  

His average is 167.

I have forgotten how many I currently own. I have 5 lockers rented at the lanes with 3-5 balls in each locker. I can't remember all the locker numbers. I probably have 8-10 laying around the house and 6 in the yard as deco.

I think this is too many.

I'll have to tell my wife about you.  My 47 balls pales in comparison to your collection.  Thanks, Dude!

I have had 320-330 at one time, right now went out and stop counting racks and piles at 230. That does not include the 20 balls in a closet next to me. Still have around 260 here at home and 40 more in storage with about 10 being NIB.

I realized I have a problem when I came home for the Holiday and put all my drilled and undrilled equipment on my bed....I have 19 drilled and undrilled pieces sitting in my room right now.

Needless to say it's eBay time.

When your in-laws ask what you want for Christmas, and you reply that you'd like dad-in-law you build you a second bowling ball rack.  He did, and it's great!

 And i thought I was bad at 135 and counting, Barry I gave your post to my wife and then I went to look for a few balls that I would like to try.
 If anyone has a RedHot Storm they would like to sell, let me know.

If you have 200 balls in your garage, you should consider professional help

Yeah it was Insane most our a year or so old now, I just sell off a few and get a newer one or two. If the wife does not get a job soon they will a huge going out Bowling sale around the end of 1 st half.

I can only give it about 4 more weeks, she did get a call today that she has a job but they have to fire the person they hired instead of her. So who know's how crazy that place is, the boss could be a big b1tch and can her too.
