When is IT TIME TO BUY A NEW BOWLING BALL??

[MICHAEL]

my answer is NOW!!! LOL If Iceman had enough money and a warehouse to store them in, I WOULD HAVE ONE OF EACH!!!
It would be nice to have a two lane personal bowling alley to go with that warehouse full of balls too!

Hey I have a neighbor that a couple years ago built an enclosed metal building attached to his house that's a full size basketball court!

Can you really have too many bowling balls?????

iceman would be like the big old bowler that lived in a house, that had so many bowling balls, there wasn't room for a mouse!! LOL

For me, the time to buy a new bowling ball is when my main go to ball loses it's reaction. OR... if I buy a new/second ball and I just can't use it with my shot on any condition, then it's time to get another one (live and learn - test before buying!)

How much would it cost to install a personal 2 lane alley, anyway? That sounds fantastic

Its a sickness!! I feel your pain larry mc!! I have found myself at the local AMF pro Shop, looking at all the Fricken new releases, and thinking to myself,,, That Might be the one with Magic!! Not unlike a sharp car, and wanting to take it for a spin,,,, Bowling balls have that allure for me,,,, Iceman!!

I am Iceman, and I am a bowling ball-a-holic!!! It all started 3 years ago when I threw a 268 with an old ball of a friend! At that point I became addicted to bowling, which lead to my uncontrolled need to buy bowling balls!!

I am Iceman, and I am a bowling ball-a-holic!! God have mercy on me!!

I dont have quite that problem at the amf proshop. Our amf proshop was until very recently the only REAL amf proshop around here in the past couple months the guy that runs that proshop made a deal and is now leasing the proshop like every other one amf has. Along with these changes is a pretty nice price hike even to the regulars so my business now goes to a different proshop. I now use the same proshop as Jaescrub and have had 3 balls drilled recently and I think they are a much better fit anyways.

When you get tired of whatever balls you are using now. Just like when we get tired of our current car. You see some nice shiny new stuff running around and you think boy, would I like to have one of those. The same with bowling balls. You see a nice shiny new color you like and you like the name on it and you say to yourself I got to get that ball for me. Maybe that ball will give me higher score games then the balls I have now that are a little worn out. Yeah! That's the reason. I need an out of box fresh ball to replace my worn out stuff. I knew I had a good reason to get a new ball or balls.

[classygranny]

ANYTIME is the right time. Who needs a reason? Oh, yeah, I am a woman - and women need no reason to shop! (at least for bowling balls, as I HATE to shop normally)

LOL,,, You Right!! And the weather is so damn nice down their in AZ this time of year.... Classygranny, you got your priorities straight!! What ball do you have your Eye on at the present time??? Do you bowl just one alley mainly?
Is it an AMF?

I bowl at two different Brunswick alleys, one morning and one evening. They are totally different and much more so since one of them got a brand new Brunswick lane machine...aargh.

I haven't really been looking at bowling balls. Unfortunately, most of my work occurs from November thru February/March, so all I have been able to do is bowl league and try and stay up with the forums. No practice, no coaching sessions, and no ball shopping. But come March, I will start back with my coach, and then we will research and discuss with the proshop guy what ball(s) to look at.

Maybe I should look into one of these...(:>

[martinezsam2495]

I think it's about time I get a new ball, between the two holes there is a huge chip. Happened on New Years also, what a great way to start the new year 2014. haha
Hopefully it lasts on the upcoming 4 tournaments. I have to keep bowling hard to make it to state!!!

The ball comes with a nice 3 year warranty which was immediately voided by drilling the finger holes too close to the pin.

I'm assuming there is a pretty good size balance hole on the side to make it legal.

The CG is shifted quite a ways over, so unless the ball had very little top weight before drilling, or there is a proper balance hole, you don't want to use that in sanctioned competition.

Oh wait, USBC has pretty much given up on policing the rules, so go ahead.

[MICHAEL]

I have cooled off..... now I feel better! Iceman needs to stay COOL.....

(:) Ops ,,,, I did it again!!! Now a Byte ball,,,,MY god I have a sickness!!! I need to be chained up while my wife is at work!! Again...... YES.... I am Iceman, and I am a ball-aholic !!! (:( It was a deal, though.... used,,, had to jump on it for 60 bucks! Was it wrong,,,,, only God knows the answer to that!!

Isn't there a song that goes some thing like ( Ops I did it again??)

I HATE THAT Fricken song!!!

Very true statement! I will testify with my AMF Amforce2 still in my bag. It still reacts the same trustworthy way to this day.
