    Default Bowling Bags

    Well now that I've won the new ball I guess I am going to need a new bag. I have a KR 3 ball roller but with I've been keeping the wife's ball in with mine and I'm adding the spare ball going to need something new for her. Here I come bowlingball.com. Anybody have any suggestions on bags? looking at 2 or three ball rollers.

    Well, if you're going to continue to share a bag with the wife, you might need to go to a 4-ball stackable. Those you can get in the $140-$165 range if you get a decent deal on Ebay. They will run $170 and up pro shops and most other online stores.

    3-ball rollers are the standard right now and there are tons of good ones. Not sure the prices...you can probably get them from $79-$299 depending on where you buy them. I've heard Hammer and Pyramid and Storm make good 3-ball rollers.

    6-ball rollers are quite pricey. I was thinking of getting one but it's hard to find a deal on those. And brand new they run in the $225-$300 range.

    2-ball rollers are cheap. And there's a lot of them out there for sale because generally people buy them and soon upgrade to 3-ball rollers and dump their 2-ball rollers for a loss.

    Why not??

    I actually just bought a 4-ball roller and really wanted the Hammer. It had tons of pockets.

    But, they kept going for over $160 which was out of my range. Looked like a nice bag.

    I ended up with a Ebonite Grand Tour IV. Would have preferred the Hammer or Columbia but whatever. It's definitely an upgrade over my current shoulder bag so I'm happy. No more carrying 2 bags to the alley and finally something with wheels.

    I'm going to need a bag for my growing lot of balls. Thinking of a 3-ball roller, myself. The Pyramids look good -- and they're inexpensive.

    All I can say is BIG WHEELS. No matter what size; 2, 3 or 4 ball, or what brand, be sure to get BIG wheels. I have had several two and three ball bags, as well as friends, and the consensus is the bigger the wheel, the better they pull, turn and maneuver. I would say go with 5", 4" is ok, but never go below that.

    I recently (about a year) added a 3-ball Elite bag (because that's the only one I could find in the color I wanted) and I truly love it. Two balls plus the spare ball and most times I am good to go for league. I added a little one ball tote that attaches to the top via Velcro around the handle and that works for taking one more ball if needed. Easy to load in and out of car and no issue of having to stack and unstack bags.

    I agree 100% with classygranny. I have a kr 3 ball roller and a 4 ball hammer roller. I like them both.

    I'm not sold on Pyramind balls, but I've heard good things about their roller bags.
