I've been bowling for about 5 years now and I have piled up quit a bit of bowling balls. I used to have around 23 balls total but not I've limited it down to 11 balls (for now). How do you know when you have too many bowling balls? The balls I have now are: V2 Particle, power charge, super charge, TPC Warrior, Raging Inferno, Turbo X, Threat, Throttle, Ultra Hot, Throttle-R, and an electrical storm. Should I get rid of any of them or save them for when I might need them? I use frequently about 7 of the balls and use the others for rare conditions that I may come across when traveling. I only carry around 4 with me though when I'm bowling. my mom has been complaining that I have too many balls so I was wondering what you guys thought. after all there are some real experts on this site.

Well, I've solved the "not enough room in my car" problem - I drive a Tahoe, and I can carry 23 no problem in one layer in the back, without putting the seat down, and with room for a crate with all the miscellaneous "stuff" I might need some day.

Of those 23, 3 are hubby's, and 2 are son's. The other 18 are mine.

And yes - it's too many. I've decided to get rid of 4 of them.

I average 197 and I own three. Up until two weeks ago I owned two.

I have old stuff in the basement that I haven't used in 2-3+ years....

You have too many balls when the 4 (or 6, depending on how perverse you are) ball roller you bring into the lanes has none of the balls you expected it to have. They are in your other 6-ball roller in your truck, or the one at home, or the one at work.

When my wife says enough is enough! Sell some before you buy another, or else.

V12, I have a couple reasons. 1) I have brought my average up to about 170-180's now, and 2) I got 2 of them free, they are plastics. Actually I will only have 5 because Im giving one of my old plastics to a friend. The other plastic isnt drilled, thats the other one I got free. So really I have 4 that I bought. Plus the scout I had from when I started bowling, it is a urethane, so I cant really use that as a strike ball. My Predator was my first reactive ball. And the 2 monsters I have my mom got me for x-mas for like real cheap because they were used, but only had like 10 games each. Got both of them for like $115. Does that answer your question?

WHEN:

YOU PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT AT THE LANES AND YOU TWIST THE DRIVE LINE IN YOUR YUGO.

WHEN YOU HOOK UP TO YOUR TRAILER AND FIND YOU HAVE 3 -4 FLAT TIRES.

WHEN YOU HOOK UP TO YOUR TRAILER AND YOU CAN NOT TURN THE DOLLY BY HAND.

WHEN YOU HOOK UP TO YOUR TRAILER AND THE FRONT TIRES ON YOUR YUGO COME OFF THE GROUND.

WHEN YOU GET A TICKET FROM THE LOCAL COPS FOR PULLING AIRLINE BAGGAGE CARS BEHIND YOUR YUGO.

WHEN YOU FINALLY GET TO THE LANES AND THE LOAD SHIFTED AND YOU CAN NOT GET THE TAIL GATE DOWN ON THE TRAILER.

AND FINALLY...... WHEN YOU GET INSIDE WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT YOU FIND OUT THE LEAGUE HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE BAR BEING CLOSED.

I know you've all been waiting with baited breath for this news, so without further ado..

Yes, I do own a Wild!

It was in the ball tote in my locker, probably been there for months... <sigh>
