I agree, in my Friday night league I was ave over 220 with my Cell and Cell Pearl. Had to start throwing weaker older equipment before my ave got out of control. Those two balls had me 20 pins over last year.

Sounds fishy Huskerfan I do agree. But does that make everyone who uses older gear a bagger?

Like others have said, please tell me you are kidding. Sandbagging in itself is bad enough, but to admit to sandbagging....come on.

Why would you even consider trying to lower your average. You should be out there bowling the best you can every time you shoe up. Why even bother bowling?

Can't really call it sandbagging when I am trying. Last 5 sets are
Granite Gargoyle rico 641
Impulse Zone 657
Roto Grip Black Grenade 624
Yellow Dot 711
Silver Streak Pearl pin 1" from PAP cg in palm 661

I have to agree. If you purposefully use a ball in which you may not score as well as you would with another, that is a form of sandbagging. I know people who only bring a white dot to league and average over 200, even though they throw aggressive stuff in tournaments. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind losing to someone with a white dot, but to do that and get handicap on top when you would be a 230 bowler with anything else, just isn't right.

But I also realize people don't bring every ball they have to league. You may bowl bad and say, "I could have used ball X and shot much better tonight," but don't ever admit to laying off on purpose.

I guess, just admit to using a different ball to keep your average down.

If someone stops using a ball because they feel it is performing better than some older equipment they have, that is 100% snadbagging no questions asked.

Exactly, why burn out my Cell and Pearl Cell on a easy house shot that I can score with just about anything. I am saving them for tourneys(which I bowl Scratch only) even in the city and state tourneys I sign up for scratch division only. Our mini marathons and other roving tourneys around here are all scratch.
