I threw it at a ball demo and it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible.

Why would you possibly consider buying a ball that wasn't great but it wasn't horrible? Remember that it is possible to be penny wise and pound (15#) foolish!Originally Posted by Aslan
Because I only threw 3 balls and the Track LX was horrible and the Bad Intentions was "blah". Don't get me wrong...I'm not actually going to buy the HX16...it's just the one that I was "thinking about getting" per the title of the discussion.
As to what balls I'd actually LIKE to get...because I think they'd fill some future arsenal holes...
- The Storm Hy Road...
- The Lane #1 Stealth Bomber
- The Lane#1 Blue Ocean Pearl
- The Storm IQ Fusion
- Columbia300 Smackdown
But I probably won't get those either. 3 aren't even for sale anymore. After moving from one apartment to another...I've decided I don't want to ever move a bowling ball "collection" ever again!

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
Aslan! My heart aches because of this comment!
Possibly both the Brunswick Mastermind Einstein and DV8 Vandal. Both are priced well as part of the Brunswick Tour Down Under when it comes to Perth later this yearAlso, I'll get to meet Sean Rash and Parker Bohn III
My heart aches because new balls are all cR*p.Aslan! My heart aches because of this comment!
Putting a new bowling ball in my hand is like giving an 80-year old man a free lifetime membership to Gold's Gym. Neither of us would get much use out of it. I'm a horrible bowler...new balls, old balls, random house balls, snow balls, moth balls, marbles, whiffle balls...doesn't matter. Once I try to roll them towards the pin it's like watching a drunk guy do a head stand...you just kinda half look away hoping that it will end soon and nobody gets seriously hurt.
At the risk of buying into your infamous drama, you are not a horrible bowler. I've seen dramatic improvements in your physical game. YOU JUST NEED TO STOP OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING!
You haven't seen my most recent practice update...
...oh wait...I forgot to post that.
This is exactly what I'm talking about! Look at any sport. Even the greatest players have bad days. Just because you had a bad practice session, doesn't mean you're suddenly a horrible bowler. In addition, I sincerely hope that your practice sessions focus on one part of your game, and NOT on how you score. Once again, quit thinking, quit keeping track of all the useless stats, quit worrying about your score, and just focus on throwing a perfect shot.
