Since I retired I have bought more balls than in my whole life total. I have around 14 now and looking to get rid of some. I wonder how many people that have 100 or more, realize you could have bought a car with that money?

Well I'd say 8 (9 if you count the one that is "retired for good"). The Fuel will never see tha lanes again, its my homemade trophy. Started to die out (and forn some hairlines around the finger grips) towards the spring of 2006, probably the one ball I wish I could get my hands on a new 15lb version.
Lets see:
Hammer Purple reactive (circa 1995)
Hammer 3D offset Super Hook
Hammer 4D HPT
Gem Tek Ten Star (Sapphire Gumdrop center)
Eureka Urethane Industries Blue Tank
Roto Grip Epic Battle
Roto Grip SD-73 Classic
Lane #1 Pearl Cobalt Bomb
and then there is this one...

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

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 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.
