    Default Arsenal Pictures

    It's a sickness many of us have, too many balls. Even after giving some away and donating several to the youth leagues I have a few left. Let's see what everybody has.

    Woah, I count 25 drilled balls. Crazy and amazing. I think you beat Aslan, who probably has 20 but only 3 are drilled

    I myself have 5 but 3 of them are retired

    Wow, I only have my Venom Shock but I spend most of my days reading up and watching bowling ball reaction videos. I don't know if I'll ever get up to your number but definitely want to get a few more balls.

    You don't particularly hear of that anymore, years ago you heard of it. I even knew one guy who joined the pba and bowled regional tournaments who did it.

    He had several of the same ball and each was drilled slightly different (of course he was like a lot guys he found out the pba was harder than they thought and got his A$$ handed to him the first time out of the gate.)

    Too much has changed though to really be able to get away with doing that if your bowling lots of different leagues/tournaments etc.

    You could and it's been done in the past the better question might be why? There are way too many fantastic option out there with different core shapes and cover stocks to limit yourself that way in the modern way the game is played.

    I hear that...I have 11 with a 4 ball carrier with a joey. Having to pick 5 is a pain. I seem to always wish I had brought another ball. The one ball that NEVER stays home is my Storm 2 Fast my benchmark.
