Jealous Bowlers ?
« on: November 09, 2016, 07:22:49 AM »
First of all I am a new bowler. I believe in buy right the first time and you do not have to spend more money on the samething. So I was practicing yesterday with a friend. So another bowler came up to us and asked why did I spend my money on those shoes (The Dexter 9's). I told him it's my money and I buy what i want when I want. He left then cameback. Then he ask why I have 6 hammer bowling balls (Scandal,Scandal Pearl,Viral Solid, Red legend Pearl, Dark Legend and Blue Urethane). I told him to refer to the first answer I gave him. He left and came back for a third time and stated that the 9's are for professional use only and that having 6 balls from the same company is for profesionals that are being sponsored by that company.
I didn't say anything else to the dude. I went straight to the manager of that alley and told him what was going on. The manager told me that he is jealous of the fact that I am a new bowler with top of the line gear. The manager did talk to guy and handled it. This has my mind blown cause I would never think people would be jealous in bowling. This is crazy. I believe if I didn't say anything, he would have started on my two handed bowling.He had to be watching me hard to notice that I had 6 hammer bowls and which ones was mines because my friend had 3 balls on the rack to (Viral solid, Scandal,Paradox). Does this happens alot if so I would like to hear the stories.

IM over 50 and I rev it more then most 2 handers do with 1 hand  so you might be jealous of me and not the guys over 40 not throwing 2 handed.. LMAO  ;)
If you want it, go after it and make it happen.  If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself....or maybe your just not throwing the right equipment  :)

I'm not sure if something was lost in translation here but I think it's a jerk response to say "It's my money and I buy what i want when I want" as opposed to giving opinions and reasons why you selected that ball/shoes over a different brand. If he had asked you the questions in a brusque manner then I'd understand but that's not what I inferred here.
