Arsenal Pictures

It's a sickness many of us have, too many balls. Even after giving some away and donating several to the youth leagues I have a few left. Let's see what everybody has.

Woah, I count 25 drilled balls. Crazy and amazing. I think you beat Aslan, who probably has 20 but only 3 are drilled :)

I myself have 5 but 3 of them are retired

Wow, I only have my Venom Shock but I spend most of my days reading up and watching bowling ball reaction videos. I don't know if I'll ever get up to your number but definitely want to get a few more balls.

1 quesstion I really want to know is.. if anybody has built an arsenal around 1 ball using different drillings and different surface preps ???

You don't particularly hear of that anymore, years ago you heard of it. I even knew one guy who joined the pba and bowled regional tournaments who did it.

He had several of the same ball and each was drilled slightly different (of course he was like a lot guys he found out the pba was harder than they thought and got his A$$ handed to him the first time out of the gate.)

Too much has changed though to really be able to get away with doing that if your bowling lots of different leagues/tournaments etc.

You could and it's been done in the past the better question might be why? There are way too many fantastic option out there with different core shapes and cover stocks to limit yourself that way in the modern way the game is played.

I hear that...I have 11 with a 4 ball carrier with a joey. Having to pick 5 is a pain. I seem to always wish I had brought another ball. The one ball that NEVER stays home is my Storm 2 Fast my benchmark.

This was from 2009 when I stopped REALLY bowling a lot. Looking at the pic, a few are missing or may have been added after because i have 3 Virtual Gravity balls. Currently I think I have 12ish with the Alpha Crux and Fight i punched this week.

Go to ball depends on where and pattern. Our center was wood last year so I used the Havoc, Shock and Rebel Tank most nights. I would see who we were bowling, pick my line based off of their styles and balls off of that. The Cyclone is drilled RICO and didn't work their. About a month ago we got synthetics put in. Scandal, Cobra and Rebel Tank have gone every Tuesday since. Wednesday is PBA experience league so I grab based off the pattern. Every now and then I will see a ball there and decide to use it.

With a lot of hobbies that would just be considered having a case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) :) Been there, done that.
