Ever go on a bowling ball buying frenzy?
Ever go nuts and buy a bunch of balls in a short time span? Specially if your just a league bowler, not tournament. In July I got an Optimus, then about a week ago a spare ball and yesterday a Hy-Road Solid. I saw one on Ebay NAND made a bide, didn't think I would get it.....and I did. Lol. Great price, a lot better than what you can get it in a shop for and about $30 cheaper than from a place like bowlingball.com.
I told myself I'm not buying another one till at least the end of next summer! Lol
Well, way back when I was a teenager I did. However, it was almost always used balls. My mother was more than happy to buy me just about any cheap, used ball I could get my hands on so long as I kept my grades up and didn't get arrested. It was no big deal for me to acquire 4 or 5 new balls over the course of 6 to 8 weeks. My mother considered it part of the cost of raising me and giving me something to do to keep me out of trouble. She said once she'd rather pay the pro shop than an attorney.
Yes on several occasions I have gotten rid of everything and just started over
As a matter of fact I think I am about to buy four new balls next week
The black widow legend and 3 fusions to put in the closet and save for later

14 balls? Why so many? Lol
Back in the early to mid 90's back when I was going
out and bowling in some regional PBA tournaments
along with other tournaments that I would bowl in I
would buy around 2 to 3 or more new balls per month
on average.
Fast forward to now days and I'm lucky if I even buy 1
or 2 new balls per year well come to think of it I'm due
to buy a new ball before fall leagues start up in the next
few weeks.

Don't walk on Thin Ice!
I have only one bowling ball.
Yes, but you have a pathological problem. That's different than the "occasional bender." Just so long as you don't dress them up in little costumes and talk to them late at night...Originally Posted by Aslan
Real men have two balls.
Just sayin'...
