How many balls do you bring with you to the center on league night? How many do most of the other bowlers bring with them?

I usually bring four.
In the sport league, most of the bowlers bring 6. A few bring more than 6, and there might be one or two that only bring three.
On Wednesdays, a few only bring one ball, most bring two, and only three of us bring three or more.
On Thursdays, only three of us have more than ball and one of us is on the D.L. For the remainder of the season.

On my league nights I bring 6 (one being a spare ball). We don't know who we are bowling the next week, depending on who I bowl dictates what balls I use. So they all come along.

At the league at the house I don't usually bowl at I bring three including the spare ball. When bowling at the house,I usually bowl, I have a locker there which has two balls and then bring three more.

I take three, one for strikes, one for spares, and one for opens.

I'm trying to get down to two.

4 balls and a spare ...our league is a fun league we don't know from week to week if there is oil or not. One week left in that league and I can tell you its the LAST non sanctioned league I will bowl in. I have to decide each week which 3 to leave home

It all depends on the league, and the bowling center. The most I bring is five (plus one plastic) to a scratch league with many high rev players to rip up the lane in the house with the heaviest oil. The least I bring is three (plus one plastic) to a handicap league in a center where all we get is 25' of head oil over lanes that have not been oiled since early morning. To most leagues with fresh oil, I bring four (plus one plastic): an aggressive asymmetric, a medium asymmetric, a medium symmetric, and a less aggressive symmetric. Surfaces vary, depending on the center.

I bring 2 or 3 total depending on the bag I am bringing to league. When I was in a travel league I would bring 4 each night.

Three. Lanes I bowl at require 1) IQ Nano, 2) Fight, and 3) a spare ball.

Sunday Trios I usually pick one ball and use that.
Monday Mens I use two
Tuesday Mens Scratch I have six available as use depends on lanes and opponent. One team has three high rev/ high speed two-handers. I use eruthane against them.

I bring 3. An aggressive asymmetric, an aggressive symmetric, and a urethane spare ball. Lately, I've mostly just been using the aggressive symmetric as my go to ball. Just not enough oil on the conditions I normally play on to be able to reliably control the asymmetric.

I bowl in a second shift league that can play differently from week to week. The 5 person handicap league before us consists of older generation high handicap bowlers. Though it's only one house I bowl in, it's like travel league, you never know what you'll get when second shift starts. Also, it depends on who is working the lanes that day too.....

I bring 3 to 5 balls a week.

I always have 3.

My Vandal, Thug Unruly & T Zone for spares.

EDITED on 6/14 - It's now 4. Adding my Vintage Danger Zone.

I throw one ball even in spares. I'm a bit old school but I'll just adjust my hand position to get different reactions

I bring 4 total. One each for heavy, medium and dry. It will be 5 once I get my hy-wire that I won. Takes about a month to get though unfortunately.

I usually bring just 4, 3 + my spare ball, and some nights I maight bring an extra 2. Depends on how the previous week went and what I practiced with during the week.

For the summer league I've been bringing 3 balls. Lock, Phaze, and Hectic. Have been using he Lock for the first game or most of it then the Phaze for the rest of the night. Hectic for 6 and 10 pin spares.

Two as of now. I like to keep three in my bag at all times but my storm Zero G is just dead. I have had it baked, resurfaced, the works it's just gone lol.

I was bringing 4 with me, 3 balls + a Spare but recently dropped down to only 3, didn't feel like loading and unloading a 70 lb 4 ball roller any more.

So I usually start with a stronger solid, DV8 Grudge or Rotogrip Haywire, the 2nd ball is a strong pearl like the Unhinged or high RG solid like the Fight, and the 3rd ball is my Storm Pitch Black which I use for spares and when the lanes get really burnt out.
