How many balls do you buy ina year??
« on: April 18, 2008, 12:53:15 AM »
Just a quick survey…

If you bowl in leagues alone, how many balls would you purchase on average in a year?

If you bowl leagues / tournaments, how many balls would you purchase on average in a year?

Cheers for any feedback!

Ryan

I usually get 2-3 balls per year, but it depends. I'm going to get a Cell very soon.

Been 6 weeks without a new ball, but it's great i am rediscovering lots of older stuff that i have piled up. Shot well with a dulled down Raid that i have not thrown in 6 months last night alone.

I did have a huge problem but a major job change has given me a wake up call, no check until may 31st does that too you. Still have at least 200 balls or so, i think as as present a terminator rebellion will be the first ball i buy in june.

1-2 new balls a year, and 3-5 used. Gotta experiment ya know.

I'm Jason G's wife.  I know how many he's bought because I write the checks!!    He's bought 6 balls in the last couple of months and I won a ball at the PBA Don Johnson Classic in the raffle.  I'd say he is addicted to buying bowling balls.  Okay...and I bought one for myself yesterday.  And I'd like to buy myself another ball next week.    uh oh...I hope he isn't reading this post!!
