Currently my Roto-Grip four ball roller has DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge (pin up), Reckless, Misfit and Storm Ice for balls. Dexter SST 5 shoes with extra soles and heels, rosin bag, ultra-slide, tape, nu-skin, file for callouses, ball cleaner, scissors, two micro fiber towels, Robbys wrist brace, two knee braces and extra finger grips. The bag I leave in the car when bowling is a two ball roller with a DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge (pin down) and Scout eurythane. Loose balls secured in the trunk; Storm Victory Road, HyRoad, Track The Rising. I also keep an assortment of Abralon pads, sandpaper, towels and polish. I won't load the car up for league night but bring everything I can for tournaments especially seeing as I have usually never been to those lanes and have no clue what the pattern or conditions will be like. Usually just bring the Reckless and spare ball with me for league. It's a fairly dry place so I know I can use the Reckless from 5 through 40 just changing speeds and release. usually it's so dryto 8 that by third game I just swing my spare ball from 15 out to 8 and back which allows me to use as much hand as I want.

Stormed1, am I reading that correctly? You are over 55 and a cranker? Everybody tells me to stop cranking because it will tear my arm/shoulder up. I'm only 43 and been bowling 5 years. If I read that correctly, it gives me hope lol

Hey Bill, how do you like the Misfit? Right now I roll with an Storm VG (the original one) as my strike ball and a Global Link as my spare ball (was my entry level hook ball). I'm looking for a medium oil ball to switch to when the lanes start to break down, and the Misfit is one of the few I'm considering. I was actually planning on getting the RG Nomad Pearl, but I thought about it for too long and now I can't find anyone here that still sells it.
The Misfit is a good ball. Hits harder while going longer with more entry angle than my Victory Road ever thought of. The colors look good going down the lane (not that I care about that but some do) and the best part; I own the only Misfit at my center. Rather than learn to bowl correctly, others jumped on the Hellraiser Revenge when they saw mine.
*added to my bag today: Storm Natural Pearl, Nexxus (won on this site), new shoe brush and a new sole

Hmmm....I'm glad you put it that way, because the VR is another medium oil ball I was looking at. I think when it comes down to it I'd probably be happy with any of the balls I've been looking at, but right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Misfit.
I'd also be the only one at my center with that ball (other than my dad who is considering the HR Revenge, I might be the only one with any DV8 ball, actually). You said it looks cool......which version did you get? I can't decide between the Green/White or Orange/Blue.
The Orange/Blue. All the DV8 balls look good rolling. If you like to hang out and bowl with the lights out, the Misfits, Reckless and Too Reckless also glow in the dark. I went to a bowling birthday party last week. I hate that kind of bowling but I was fascinated watching the ball rotation in the dark.
