    Default What do you guys do with your old balls?

    So over the years i've accumulated quite a few balls. a few i've given away, one or 2 i left on a rack at the bowling alley and one i lost

    right now i have about 6 balls sitting in my room that i don't use. after christmas i plan on re doing my whole arsenal so i'll have another 4 balls i wont be using anymore. They're really in no condition to sell as all these bowling balls are pretty old...my newest one being no less than 3 years old. Just wondering what you guys do with your extra ones that you don't use anymore?

    I gave mine to my son - he's just starting out and we have the same size hands and both bowl left handed so it was a great fit for him and saved me some money on a new ball for him. I might have it plugged and redrilled though because my first ball was not drilled properly and doesn't have inserts for the fingertips.

    I take mine to work, and do release drills on the cement floor. Eventualy they crack, and I throw them away. Either that, or I experanment with them, such as drilling one with a Sarge Easter grip.

    I take them to one of the local alleys and put 'em in the rack.

    I put them on the used rack at the pro shop I get my balls from. The money I got was used to help fund my current ball arsenal.
