I'm Addicted To Buying New Bowling Balls

[CeKnauss]

I'm up to nearly 40 bowling balls... Bowling is a hobby I enjoy. Buying a few different balls and learning what layouts work for me, what grip changes can do for me, and what surface changes I can make present me with a wide variety and a great arsenal. I love some of my older balls, but some of the new designs are working well for me. It is all about dedication and interest. Bowling makes me feel good, so I spend money on it. Too bad ladies haven't realized I spend money on things I enjoy. Lol

I've been throwing it very consistent lately. The Misfit has been leaving the 10 pin a lot so far, and even the 9 pin a few times. Not all shots are perfect, but the same shots with my 508A are strikes. I've used the Misfit on a few different lane conditions so far, all similar results. I'm sure it will come around soon, hopefully when I bowl my league tomorrow night. I have a tourney Sunday night and would love to rock the Misfit all night. I'll start the first game with it, then see what happens from there.

So the night started with same old problems, actually worse. My first practice game the Misfit left 4 straight 9 pins. Tried moving, making some adjustments, and just got worse. League started, and the 10 pins came. I decided I couldn't take it and pulled out the 508A. I couldn't get going with that either, and even left the 10 pin twice in 4 frames with that ball. I figure if I'm gonna leave 10 pins, may as well do it with the band new ball I just spent $110 on.

After switching back, the Misfit worked like I had hoped. No bad leaves, and the only non strikes where when I did not throw it well. I swear I was really close to going into the pro shop and buying a 503T. So for now, no new ball, I'll keep working with the Misfit.

Nothing wrong with buying different equipment....Nothing at all. Just put it in prospective and think about all the other sports out there and the differnt brand names that go along with them. Personally I went through a dozen differnt types of hockey sticks and about 4 differnt types of skates, 4 or 5 different brands of base ball gloves, different football cleats, etc. ect. ect..... No different than going through bowling balls until you find the kind/type that works best for you.

I have 3 main balls I throw right now and I just ordered another one and should be here by the end of next week. I have my eye on at least 2 more that I am going to get during the summer to see if I want to add them to the bag for next fall league.

Embrace the sport and try the different gear...you will find what works for you and then you will stick with it.
