Every bowler is different when comes to the amount of balls they need in a bag. There are some that feels comfortable having two while others have around ten. It depends on how serious of a bowler you are and if you want to have something that covers every type of lane conditions. One thing you don't what to do is have overlap in your arsenal. It's better to have each ball have their own characteristics and ball motion that's unique and different from one another.

For me, I bowl in two different centers that has totally different lane conditions (expecially when I bowl in tournaments). So one ball will work good at center 1 but I may not get the same reaction at center 2. You say that you're versatile and that's a very good thing. Because being able to change your line or hand position and still put up good scores is always a plus.

You should be able to bowl anywhere with 4 balls, not including plastic. If not, you suck.

Another weak troll, great ...



Hey OP My stats are really close to yours , and just wanted to throw out the option of a Diamondback, a freeze or a mutant cell.. Mutant cell is great for a few games, but then starts burning up.. My DB is by far my favorite ball Ive owned, Great roll, smooth, great backend and very predictable

yes i can reply to the topic. just wondering why in your opinion players suck if they can't or don't want to use a four ball arsenal?? best case for most is to start with a piece they can stay with an entire squad and make adjustments to stay up on carry percentage. i carry eight wether i need them or not normally i will only use two or three at most but would much rather have the other five or six after a 300 dollar plane ticket or a 1,000 mile ride in a car to a tournament!!!!
