How Many Bowling Balls Do You Own???????
« on: July 20, 2006, 05:56:41 AM »
Hi everybody,

I am starting to get a really good arsenal together for dry, medium & oily lane conditions.

           I have a Brunswick Groove Reactive for dry lanes - It has the hit power of a truck.
           I have a Storm Paradigm for medium lanes - There is no other ball like it for drive, predictability & hook.
           I will now be getting an Ebonite XXXCEL for the heavy - I have seen good things with this ball.
           I have an AMF Sumo for the spares & a Regency 300 as a spare first ball.

           Now i am being told by my family that i have too many bowling balls. But i want to show them just how many some people have & why they need them to combat ever changing lane conditions.

Please can you all tell me how many bowling balls that you own, so i can tell them that i haven't got enough!!

Too many.  This was asked earlier and I have added some since then.


And our friend Doug hasn't asked for you any new stuff??  Shocking

Let's see...

White Dot
Yellow Dot Legend
Ed, Ed & Eddy Viz-A-Ball (for a parent/child league and my son has a matching one)
Pink Hammer
Red Pearl Hammer
Grey Wolf
El Nino X-It
Smokin' Inferno
Big Hit Pearl
Toronto Maple Leafs Viz-A-Ball (a stunning birthday gift from my boyfriend)

NIB:
Hello Kitty Viz-A-Ball (read: paper weight)
Hi-Nek Magic (from Japan)
Spare Storm (I love the little logo on it!)
Rock Pearl
Quantum Raven
Red/purple Tropical Storm

I think that's enough for now, but eventually I want to retire the X-It and replace it with something for heavy oil conditions for tournaments.

I have 20 or 30 I would guess.  I keep special balls and retire them.I know there at least 6 on the shop floor by the register, 5 in the bag, 12 on the rack etc.

    Hello guys, i started this topic.

    So well done people. You have clearly shown my family that some bowlers just cant get enough of bowling balls to suit their game, as its a never ending process in order to make progress.

    Keep them coming in so they can be even more convinced by my statement.
