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!!

Wow MI 2 AZ....that's almost 90 balls!!! And I thought I had a lot of balls!

I particularly like your choice of balls though. If I were to list all mine, two thirds of the balls YOU listed, would be on my list as well.

I only have 55. But there are a lot of balls that I use which are condition specific. I generally use them when going to tournaments, and especially wood surface houses, which I rarely see locally any more.

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.

I had 10, but I gave two to my son who bowls now, and I donated 4 to my pro shop who donates them to high school bowlers.
 I have 4 left
 Brunswick Ultimate Inferno (don't use much)
 Track Phenom
 Track Freak Out
 Track Animal ( noticing a pattern here?)
