Quote from USA Today: "I usually drive to Milwaukee with about 45 balls in the car to test the different lane conditions," - Diandra Asbaty (About going to the Masters)

That's amazing!!

First, that Car must have some heavy Suspension.
Second, How do you keep track of all that equipment?

Is this a normal number for Professional Bowlers?

The pros have their own trailer(s) that they take to each tournament with a drill press. That thing was filled to the gills in bowling balls. I don't think it would be too difficult keeping track of just as long as you take some kind of notes. The hardest thing would be to get them there safely.

No wonder why so many can't make a living at this sport. Especially when your constantly purchasing equipment for each tournament.

Then I'll turn this statement around....

Now wonder why we pay so much for our bowling balls.

I just drilled my 10th ball for the tour. The most I ever had at one time. Two triples and two totes. Alot of balls. Whatever we don't use we give away usually at the tour stops so we don't have so many. But yes there are some guys that have 40 or more.

Trash Heap,

I think you may have misunderstood that article. I did not say that she brought 45 balls to the Masters. It stated that she brings up to 45 balls to the USBC center before tournaments. She has then lay down the shots that she should be seeing, but normally takes 6 balls to the tournaments with her.

Okay but isn't she still taking 45 balls to Milwaukee to practice for Masters?
Regardless of what she uses in the tournament...she starts her preparation for one tournament with 45. That's how I understand it.
