If A Bowling Ball Is A Tool...
« on: September 13, 2017, 07:40:59 PM »
Bowling balls are often referred to as a tool. If that is true, how come some people are criticized for wanting to find the right/best tool for the job??? Sure, I can take flathead screwdriver and tighten a Phillips screw , but a Phillips head screwdriver is better suited for the job and can do it easier.

Comical?? I was being serious, and a little less caustic than northface!!

Don't get me wrong, I like visiting the snap on truck when it rolls into town, but I don't need to hijack it and bring it with me to change a tire, no matter how prepared I'd feel.

But I like to show my toolbag off too, don't get me wrong! Time and a place for everything!

Here is a good way to put it... Bowling balls is bowling, as a engine is to a car; A body of a car is NOTHING without the engine. There you go balls are sexy on the lanes.  ;D

Just don't show off your ballbag.  That might be crossing the line.

It shouldn't take 5 different tools to screw one simple bolt in place.

It might if that bolt gets bent and/or stripped. Or maybe rusty. Which is what basically happens to the lanes. And as someone mentioned previously, some houses never play the same week to week.

Not allowed here in corporate AMF/Brunswick land.  They have weekly conference calls to make sure the life is sucked out of every house to make them as generic as possible (except for one the by the University whose lanes just plain get beat to sh1t).
Kind of noob when made this account so take advice with grain of salt.

I'll admit it I have a problem, I am a ball junkie..... I own them so I bring them... Most of the time 3 may make it out of the bag, a spare plastic, and 2 others. My problem now is I am bowling multiple houses and the shot is nothing alike after a few weeks. And that is actually fun but I do have a problem with buying balls I dont need but usually get a deal buying from a couple tournament players who only use their stuff for 20 games.

Bah you are not a ball junkie until you are mothballing them in boxes with plastic in the garage with no immediate plans to throw some of them any time soon.   ;)
