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!!

You're fighting a losing battle.  How many league bowlers buy hook-in-box balls and don't understand why they don't hook?  If those people can't understand lane conditions and arsenals that consist of different balls, why would your family?

If you want to be able to say "Well at least I don't have as many balls as shelley", then I have five, only one of which has seen any use in the last four months.
