Drilled, un-drilled, retired, etc. Doesn't matter.

I currently have (5) strike balls and (1) spare ball. Realistically only use 2 of them

So 6 total.

There has to be some people on here with 20+ right?

Total balls (including 2 I haven't used in years) 6

Mostly use my Hy-Road and a DV8 spare ball.

8 Strike Balls and 2 spare balls, with 2 new strike balls coming next week. That being said, I've donated about 35 balls to Junior programs over the past three years.

8 balls all together. The Ruckus Schizo is one that I rarely use.

My Fanatic BTU can be used as a strike ball and as a spare ball, but my T Zone is my primary spare ball.

6. (Roto Grip Hysteria, Roto Grip Critical, Storm Street Fight, DV8 Thug Life, Brunswick Fanatic BTU, White Dot). The most I will ever own at once is 7. At that point, if I'm buying something new I'm also giving away something old.

I currently have 5 Storm Snap lock, Columbia 300 Freeze, Motiv Trident, DV8 Freakshow (I won 2 weeks ago here), and Tzone. I bought a 3 ball roller on craigslist which came with a Strike King. I tried to give it to my wife but she laughed at me, so I'm giving it to the local HS bowling team.

9. I bring 4 all the time, with two others that get dragged along if I think I might need one of them. I should really get rid of the two in the basement and turn the one in the garage into a table lamp.

I have 3 one is a 10 pin ball. The other two are one that hooks the other one a little weaker. If the get really dry I can use the pitch black for 10's and strikes.
Any time I buy a new ball I give my old one to the center. They can plug it and use it as a house ball.

The PBA/PBA50 tournament I watched last weekend was won with a Faball Blue Pearl Hammer from 1987. Some people never toss out a ball

Counting the Revolt Vengence I have coming I have a total of 30. Half of them have less than 10 games on them as they are for tournaments and my summer sport shot league. (see signature for list)

Six.

Storm Byte (Pearl), Storm Crux (Hybrid), Storm Optimus (Solid) and a spare ball. I also have an old Blue Hammer that I just can get rid of since I bowled my first 300 with it in 1993, even though I have used it in almost 20 years (I was out of bowling for 15 of those years). I should probably get rid of the Hammer Nail Smoke and Fire since it has a deep crack across the finger holes.

I currently have 2 balls.. a Brunswick and a old black spareball that my mom used to use in her leagues. I did have 5 at one time but gave them away to friends wanting to learn. trying to begin adding more now that I am back into the game.

At last count, I have 13 balls. They're listed in my signature. I'll probably get rid of a few of them. I find that my obsession is much more palatable to my wife if I have less than 10 balls on hand.

I guess I'm one of them since I have that same ball in my closet.
