My FINAL update for the Ball review spreadsheet
« on: March 13, 2013, 05:16:29 PM »
Well I've been doing this for a long time, but this will be my last update of the Ball review spreadsheet! (I dropped my BTM subscription)

I'll leave it on my bowling stuff as archive, but it will be up to someone else do update it.

The ball review spreadsheet has been updated to 12/2012

The All Balls List is up to 997 balls now.

It can be downloaded from my "Bowling Stuff" site.

Too bad you are stopping, but I can understand the amount of work it took.

Thanks for keeping it up and running for so long.

Thanks for all the work you put in on this.  When I find the time I will update the sheet going forward.  I think I can put it up on google docs and that will allow people to view online or download it in a format of their choice.

I'll work on getting it up to date from January through March.

I'll will post a google docs link as soon as I have it up online.

Thanks again for starting and keeping up this great piece of information.

Well good luck to you j_w73! 

You'll be number three to take over the sheet, I took over from the guy who started it (I can't remember his name off the top of my head.).

Just remember to check for any corrections they make in following issues to the numbers.

Well, let's give this a go. Here is the link to the updated reviews on google docs.  I have updated them through the April issue.  You can scroll through the worksheets and view online but I would recommend going to "FILE" and downloading it in the format of your choice.
If you download in excel you can then remove the protection and sort by multiple column categories.  I found this very helpful when looking for a certain ball with specific characteristics.

You can also change to "list view" online and sort by a single column.

Let me know if you think this will work for everyone or if you have any suggestions.

I appreciate your efforts sir.  This is a fantastic resource for building arsenals and has been for me personally a great reference tool. 

J_w, I applaud your stepping up.  It is a thankless job, but I will extend my thanks.  :)

Let me add my THANKS to you Aloarjr810. I have used this many times to look at different balls and to help make decisions when purchasing something new. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this. Thank you again for maintaining this for so long.
 
J-w73, thank you for stepping up and keeping this going. We all owe you a beer sometime in the future :).

I have been using this tool for years in assisting me in my ball choices.  Thanks to all for your contributions and future additions.

Question:  I attempted to open the Google docs link and have received error messages on both IE8 and Firefox.   Was anybody else able to open this link.
