What's in your bag?

[manningm]

Hi all.

Capital One has a commercial with catch phrase "What's in your wallet?" On a regular bowling night,
what do you take with you?

Hammer Blade Particle
Hammer Turbo Diese
Ebonite Maxim (Spare)

Mike Manning

[JaxBowlingGuy]

HMMMMMM depending on the night and center the balls will vary from the below balls.. usually carry 6 and spare at any given time... Here in FL over the summer with it being sooo hot you never know how the shots gonna play...

[Graaille]

Oh that's an interesting question, I have a 3 ball roller w/joey, and I never carry more than 4 balls at any given time. Either a particle or particle pearl, two reactives, and a spare. Can't say which balls will be in the bag, but there's only one maker -- Lane Masters/Legends.

[Strike Domination]

Bowling league in one center, all I take with me is my Avalanche Solid. I guess that could partially explain why I'm only at 190 average. Oh well.

[Bygnel]

Currently in my 4 ball bag you will find the following: Burgundy Hammer, Hammer Real Deal, Brunswick Classic Zone, Columbia Blue Dot..

[playbowl]

If I could only take 3 to a tournament - Big Bang/Dark Thunder/Magic Marble (Zone Polyester)

[tbrownie]

i have waaayy too many i take at different times. around 15-20 currently... So ill list my top 6. Black Knight spare ball, Vgravity, Hyroad, 357 Magnum, Vortex Trimax, Raw Doom. Ordered a Venergy and a Dimension that are on the way. Also am getting a used Triple X factor too

[mrbill]

I Was useing 3 balls but now I'm just useing my ICON300 I might have to go back to my Plastic spare ball but if my forearm tendon gets better I will just stay with the ICON.
Then In my bag I have my
1)beat up second hand shoes.
2) some cut strips of finger tape.
3) Ball tape.
4) pen
5) 2 towles, 1 for the ball and one for sweat.
6) Rosin bag
7) Large and Small Wrist Braces.
8) Calculator
9) Slide Powder for fingers.
10) new skin.
11) Shoe slider stone.
12) Small strips of paper to jot down my scores.
13) a folder with Detaled Stat Tracker pages.
I had More stuff but I cut down alot when I switched to 1 ball.:p

[Coach 3G]

Right now, aside from bowling balls, I have assorted bowling tape, super glue, scuff pads, ball cleaner, microfiber towels, dexter sst 8 shoes, extra slide soles and heels, rosin, ez slide, xtra skin, scissors, fine grit sand paper. I carry my six balls in 2 separate roller bags.

As for bowling balls, hammer the big deal, roto grip rogue cell, brunswick zone classic, ebonite ice, brunswick dry/r and roto grip pluto. I'm probably going to retire the ice in favor of a slightly more aggressive benchmark ball in the coming month. I have a couple other balls I throw occasionally if I know what oil pattern I'll be facing ahead of time.

[MH1313]

I carry with me 3 at all times...between them I can typically get the job done.

El Nino Wrath

lane 1 cobalt bomb pearl (med/light oil) brunswick wizard (med/heavy oil) oldy ebonite magnum 10 (spare) looking for light oil ball for old wood houses any ideas? my cobalt ripps to brookland and my old mag10 is dead maybe a razer? (for wood lanes)

for wood try to choose a solid ball. the solids usually match up with the wood a little better.

[NoTapNorm]

Switching from 4-ball roller to a 2-ball and a tote-tore the bicep tendon and cant lift the 4-ball....

In the bags-Virtual Gravity, Visionary Gladiator Pearl, PBA Platinum and Morich Awesome Finish.

[gparks]

for wood try to choose a solid ball. the solids usually match up with the wood a little better.

cool any specific models? im a righty stroker/tweener sometimes depends on humidity :)

[Evilash71]

I have always been a Brunswick guy, and pretty much have stuck to using my copperhead, swarm, and a vizaball spare until last week.

My wife and i decided to try out these new FREEZE balls and i have to tell you that it's becoming a favorite of mine quickly. You know how sometimes you get lined up with a ball and the lane and the game feels easier to a certain extent. Thats how i felt with this ball.

I bought it primarily for light oil, drier conditions and the other day i decided to try it out earlier in the night, and it wasnt bad at all. It goes long, ill say that much. I have the pin under my fingers on this one, cg slightly kicked out and thus far i give this ball a thumbs up.

I have never bowled columbia before but if their other stuff is anything like this Im very interested.

[Jord_84]

Go with a 4 ball stackable bag. The wider wheel base is easier to wheel around, which look like this...
http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c4171/14420-thumb.jpg

The 3 or 4 ball inline bags lose balance easier tip over easy, IME.

Plus the extra space in the 4 ball bag can be used for an accessory bag or other misc stuff.

In the reserves I have (I bring these to tournaments with the above)

I disagree sir on the reign being the best ball for a burnt house shot although if you only throw Storm i understand why you say that :)

Boat anchor.. lol

[Pi Guy]

I only throw an Ebonite Cyclone right now. I've been thinking about getting a plastic spare ball, but really I'm learning to control my hook so I think using the Cyclone on the spares is helping. If nothing else it's making me more confident in my throw.

[DucksBowler]

Boat anchor.. lol

I usually would donate my equipment to the youth leagues or to a right-handed teammate with a completely different track but I don't think I'd feel right giving this ball to someone, honestly...haha.

[runkle]

It seems like my bag gets more and more in it for each time I play! I keep my 2 balls, my shoes, my shoe covers, my polish and my ball cleaner, 2 towels, my grip sack and my fun bowling socks! I think I spend way too much time shopping for fun items at online bowling stores!

2. 505t early
3. black widow bite- long weaker

B-Team
1.Track rising - outside angular

[bowl1820]

I usually take a solid and a hybrid, also The Particle pearl followed by my polyester.












X one two timer start now

[billf]

Currently my Roto-Grip four ball roller has DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge (pin up), Reckless, Misfit and Storm Ice for balls. Dexter SST 5 shoes with extra soles and heels, rosin bag, ultra-slide, tape, nu-skin, file for callouses, ball cleaner, scissors, two micro fiber towels, Robbys wrist brace, two knee braces and extra finger grips. The bag I leave in the car when bowling is a two ball roller with a DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge (pin down) and Scout eurythane. Loose balls secured in the trunk; Storm Victory Road, HyRoad, Track The Rising. I also keep an assortment of Abralon pads, sandpaper, towels and polish. I won't load the car up for league night but bring everything I can for tournaments especially seeing as I have usually never been to those lanes and have no clue what the pattern or conditions will be like. Usually just bring the Reckless and spare ball with me for league. It's a fairly dry place so I know I can use the Reckless from 5 through 40 just changing speeds and release. usually it's so dryto 8 that by third game I just swing my spare ball from 15 out to 8 and back which allows me to use as much hand as I want.

Stormed1, am I reading that correctly? You are over 55 and a cranker? Everybody tells me to stop cranking because it will tear my arm/shoulder up. I'm only 43 and been bowling 5 years. If I read that correctly, it gives me hope lol

Currently my Roto-Grip four ball roller has DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge (pin up), Reckless, Misfit and Storm Ice for balls.
Hey Bill, how do you like the Misfit? Right now I roll with an Storm VG (the original one) as my strike ball and a Global Link as my spare ball (was my entry level hook ball). I'm looking for a medium oil ball to switch to when the lanes start to break down, and the Misfit is one of the few I'm considering. I was actually planning on getting the RG Nomad Pearl, but I thought about it for too long and now I can't find anyone here that still sells it :(.

[billf]

The Misfit is a good ball. Hits harder while going longer with more entry angle than my Victory Road ever thought of. The colors look good going down the lane (not that I care about that but some do) and the best part; I own the only Misfit at my center. Rather than learn to bowl correctly, others jumped on the Hellraiser Revenge when they saw mine.

*added to my bag today: Storm Natural Pearl, Nexxus (won on this site), new shoe brush and a new sole

The Misfit is a good ball. Hits harder while going longer with more entry angle than my Victory Road ever thought of. Hmmm....I'm glad you put it that way, because the VR is another medium oil ball I was looking at. I think when it comes down to it I'd probably be happy with any of the balls I've been looking at, but right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Misfit.

I'd also be the only one at my center with that ball (other than my dad who is considering the HR Revenge, I might be the only one with any DV8 ball, actually). You said it looks cool......which version did you get? I can't decide between the Green/White or Orange/Blue.

[billf]

The Orange/Blue. All the DV8 balls look good rolling. If you like to hang out and bowl with the lights out, the Misfits, Reckless and Too Reckless also glow in the dark. I went to a bowling birthday party last week. I hate that kind of bowling but I was fascinated watching the ball rotation in the dark.
