How many balls does a house league need

[Aslan]

In general if it doesn't come back with the BYTE it ain't coming back period.

The biggest thing I see here other than the slingshot what are you going to throw on light oil. These all look like bigger hooking balls on the fresh not an issue most likely but if this is going to be your regular arsenal I would look for a little lower end piece light oil ball trade out the IQ pearl you can mail it to me

Agreed. Both on the BYTE and the hole being lighter oil. I would say on lighter/drier conditions, he can use the Slingshot. I use the Slingshot as my spare ball (as does Iceman, so I KNOW I'm doing the right thing!) BUT I will also use it up the 12-board for a very straight shot on very dry lanes What I would call my "D-Game". But unless you're on wood lanes…or bowling after a holiday weekend…I never need to resort to that. But you're right, I have the Frantic to ball down to and I'm not sure if switching to the IQ is really "balling down" since it's a monster hooking ball as well.

Aslan: It all depends on the bowler's style and what he is comfortable seeing. Personally my arsenal contains no pearl balls whatsoever, and yet there are no "holes" in my arsenal. I just don't like the way they over/under react. There is no right or wrong, there is only what works for the individual bowler in terms of equipment.

Agreed. Thats why I think since at least one of the balls is a hybrid…he's got his bases covered. If it was 3 pearl balls…only pearl balls…I'd probably be more concerned. And like I said, you can always change ball reactions a bit through drilling/surfacing…so every cover stock isn't an imperative.

Thread: How many balls does a house league need

In regard to the actual question....it depends on how many bowlers are in the league. Each bowler should have at least one ball, as sharing is usually frowned upon.

HA! Thats funny!

On the internet, ask Bill, you can be ANYBODY you want!

HA! Thats funny too!
