Are you picky about bowling bags?

Just bought a three ball roller. I bought a two ball tote not two months ago and wished I would have just went with the three then. Lesson learned lol.

If you don't mind my asking, what should I expect to pay for a two ball tote or a roller?

Word of advice save yourself some money and go ahead and get a three ball roller when you upgrade. Most even somewhat serious bowlers carry at least three balls now days. Two strike balls and a spare ball. You can always use the extra space for storage until you get the third ball. See too many people have a tote then they add another ball so the spends some money on a nice two ball roller then they get into the game enough they need a spare then end up going out and spending money again on a three ball roller.

When I went from carrying two balls to three I bought a Storm 1-Ball Spare Kit™. Other companies make similar bags that slip over the handles of roller bags. It does tend to make things a bit tippyer but did let me keep using the two ball roller until I decided to start dragging four balls to the alley.

I would say around a $100-$125 for a good quality big wheel 2 bag roller. Never wanted a tote so I'm not sure on that. Sure you are going to see them cheaper, but that's what you get...cheaply made and little wheels.

But Amyers is still correct. When I went from my two ball up to my three ball, it wasn't very long until I bought my joey bag (1-ball spare kit). I don't always carry it since I bowl mostly on a THS, but when I do tourneys or a new house, then I carry it.

For the extra $50 bucks or so, I would still go with the 3-ball if you really are going to be serious about bowling.

Thank you. I know I've seen them cheaper and know that when I do eventually purchase a roller, I will go big and splurge for something that should last me a long time.

I'm picky about the warranty.... Storm Rolling Thunder series has been awesome for me

I'm only picky about sturdiness, and having enough compartments for shoes, towels, tape, etc. My pet peeve was having a bag with only room for the ball(s).

I just pulled the trigger on a Royal Flush 4-ball roller--it looks pretty awesome......but it's in transit.

I had a lot of different bags in my day but then I got a VISE 3-ball rolling tote with the shoe attachment and never looked back. Absolutely the easiest and lightest option IMO and very well made. Reasonably priced too!

Great advice, wish I would have read it 6 months ago when I got a 2 ball roller ! I am now in need of a 3 / 4 ball bag, the only good part is my daughter will be able to use the 2 ball roller when she adds a reactive ball to her bag .....
