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.

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 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.
