I'm currently at 7 and use them all, depending on which house we're bowling in that day.  I do have 2 more old 16 # that are sitting around, my first fingertip, a Brunswick Black Diamond and a Columbia yellow dot.

all of you are lightweights i have around 275 right now have easily owned over 1000 in the last 6 years. I have been comped 20 total out of 1000 so it is an expensive hobby that i choose to slow down on lately. I might get 20-24 total this year and sell off maybe 30-40 on here very soon.

I can tell you this all brands hit just as hard as other brands, so all the BS alot of you guys post is just that BS. If i painted all of these balls black with no logo's i would say you could tell no different in brands on hitting power.

Currently own 23 but i usually sell/give away about 3-5 a month. If i had kept every bowling ball since i started bowling (7 years ago) ide have to guess around 100-125 bowling balls. They feed the need.

I'm still looking to buy my first ball. How do you know that the balls you buy are right for you? Or is it that there are no answer and that's why you guys have so many balls.

Sorry, I just want to learn a little more about this.

kantbowl4chit


for that i would say talk to the pro shop, he/she should know what would be good for u
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one

This guy on youtube posts videos of the PBA
for ppl who dont watch TV or want to save the matches this will be great!

I once was astounded to realize that I had about 100 balls in my basement.  I was somewhat relieved when I checked and found that I only owned about 60 of them.  The other 40 odd had been left by guys either going to or coming from tournaments.  I did get a lot of good use from them though.  They all hit very hard and gave me much the same look, as I threw them off a bridge into the Snake River.

I did a count last night.  I have 32 of which 8 are NIB and 2 or 3 are ready for the garbage can.  Undecided on the NIB.  I will probably sell half of them and the other half is stored for future use.
