    I talked to them last night and told them what you said. They wanted me to remind you that they presently play in 3 more leagues than you do and thus your opinion doesn't matter.

    Not me sayin it...just passing on what they said.

    I'm not sure how the sport is played in the EU; but generally having the most bowling balls isn't a 1 to 1 correlation to average. Otherwise, the richest bowler or the one with his own bowling ball factory would be PBA Player of the Year EVERY year.

    Your mother's a lot opposite of mine. Mine always tells me that I'm not buying any balls in like ever term. And I'm in college, and I get financial aid, so that's how I buy them, but I always say what's my portion of the money is what I decide what I want to buy with it. ;p course she always anticipates that I'm going to buy one everytime anyway lol
    My bowling balls include:
    Brunswick Brute Strength, Brunswick Mastermind Genius, DV8 Endless Nightmare, DV8 Diva, DV8 Diva Pearl, DV8 Marauder Mutiny, & Brunswick White Viz-A-Ball spare ball

    The wife got back a very nice tax return this year. I almost went crazy. I was looking at about $1000 (including shoes) worth. Then realized that was completely ridiculous. Especially since I'm only bowling 3 games a week. I ended up getting nothing. In hindsight I wish I would've at least gotten a Hyper Cell. The Cell is my favorite ball, ever.

    Yes but that begs the question how often do you need a new one?
