    Default So I have $350 burning a hole in my pocket...

    Last Friday was my birthday and I now have $350 burning a hole in my pocket. What to buy, what to get? Maybe save it for all the side tournaments and brackets in Reno for Nationals? Or a new ball? Have been looking at Roto Grip Hyper Cell and Storm Zero Gravity as they both would likely complement my current arsenal.

    Ideas?

    No strippers or the like. Already had my fun with that stuff in my early days.

    If your wanting to buy something and going to the Nationals save it till then, that way you can check all the different equipment at the booths and more than likely see a lot of it in action.

    Yeah I'll have to agree with bowl1820 on waiting to buy a new
    ball if you are going to the Nationals. You may get a great deal
    on a ball there and get one that will work excellent on that shot.

    LOL at the thread edit Bowl1820 made saving me from the "grammer" police. Not sure what error I made, hopefully not a spelling error.

    I will save you the trouble of thinking about what to do with your money. Send it to my house and I will do the thinking about what new ball I should get for myself. The ball I will get will leave money left over that I will send back to you for some ball thumb hole tape. Such a deal.

    Hammer is such a good guy I might take him up on that.

    I think I found what I will do with a portion of my money. Seems well worth it.
