    Question How often do you get a new bowling Ball?

    So some people buy new bowling balls every new season, some every time one comes out. But what about you? Do you wait until your ball seems dead? Or unlucky anymore?

    What are your thoughts on when you should buy a new ball?

    Must be nice to be able to afford to buy a few new balls a month! I buy one well, when I can afford it really! The last one I bought was the Brunswick Rattler...and I haven't been sorry! It's great on dryer patterns...where as my Tropical Storm is better when the lanes are oilier. It just depends on the conditions of the lanes as to which ball I throw

    Not often. I keep just enough balls around to cover varying oil conditions. I'll be sad when the Virtual gravity poops out......I love that ball.

    I get a new one every time I win one. I buy one when I find something I really want. If I wouldn't have won the Rogue I would have bought it. Now I'm researching dry lane balls.

    I've purchased/won 5 in the last year, but only because I was just getting back into the game. There are several I wouldn't mind having, but cant justify the purchase just yet....
    There's always one off center in the rack

    Because i prefer to tell people this is what that ball does, Rather than this is what (insert company) says it does i tend to do 10-15 year, It is very rare for me to put more than 30-40 games on a ball before it is replace in my bag. I get top dollar out of my personal equipment because they are always in "like new" condition

    Entirely too many, but 99% of them are first drills so I'm not paying full price.

    I tend to get a new ball or two each year. I don't think I'd need more than 4-5 on any given day so buying lots of balls is not something I see myself doing.
