best, most compact 4 or 6 ball roller?
« on: February 14, 2008, 06:04:06 AM »
Who makes the most compact 4 ball or 6 ball roller.  I need to get a roller for tourney's.  I was thinking of getting a compact 4 ball roller and just using a 2 ball tote to place on top.

I currently use two 3-ball tote rollers and carry a back pack for my shoes and accessories but for walking around an alley at a tourney it's easier to use a single 4 or 6 ball roller and only have one handle to pull.

Here is something for $44.95 and that could easy carry 2 double bowling ball bags and extra. It is light weight and easy to roll and fold away. With some bungee cords and you are set. Could hold up to 150 pounds.

That doesn't look to bad.  I think it's kind of tall for what i'm looking for but the diea is correct.

  I just want to make it as compact as I can.  My VISE totes are awesome but don't like pulling two sperate totes around.  I want to combine them side by side some how so I only have to pull one bag. I'm going to try to come up with something to connet them.  I just have not figured it out yet.  

I may have to just make something for them.

When i use the 5 ball roller i keep a double tote in the trunk, put the 2 balls in the tote and lift the 3 balls left in the trunk. Not a big deal to me at all but i could see where trying to lift 5 balls would be heavy for most people.

Did you look at the 4-ball roller on this site?
Breaks down small.

I have a KR 4-ball roller, and for the most part I like it pretty well.  The only real problem for me is that it sucks having to take it down to put in the back of my truck, especially if it's raining.  Also I have the older style bag which not only has the small inline skate wheels on it, but the lower section is top loading which almost negates the benefits of have a 4-ball bag due to having to take the top off to get to the rest of my equipment.  A friend of mine has a new KR 6-ball roller which I must say is very nice, and great when we go to tournaments(only real time we use it.)  All of the compartments on it a front loading which is a major plus, and it also has the large wheels making it a bit easier to roll, however it can be a big pain in the @$$ to navigate just due to the sheer size of it...

Really like my Roto 4-ball. Double solid handles on bottom bag make for easy pick up.

I would of thought by now that these company's would get the hint that compact is the way to go.  Most of the rollers are just not compact.  

I should of picked up the brunswick 4 ball roller from last years line.  It was all front loading and didn't look all that bulky.  I just can't find that bag for sale anymore.
