Does anyone own a 4-ball roller and have a smaller car that they put them it? I'm looking to getting one for next season to carry around since I'll be bowling in more than 1 league this time in two different houses that uses different lane patterns. Not too sure if it'll be more of a hassel to lug it out of my smaller car (Cavalier). I do like the fact that it has alot of compartments since I do have other stuff to put them in. Here's an example of the bag I'm looking for.

I thought about two other options since I'll have about 6-7 balls max by the fall (I already have an Ebonite 3-ball tote roller):

1. Get another 3 ball roller and get a joey or single ball bag

2. Get a two ball roller and a single/double bag

I usually take 3 (sometimes 4) balls to bowling each because the lane conditions varies every two weeks. Any suggestions?

You might want ot look at an inline 4 ball roller. I have the KR inline 4,5,6 option bag and it fits well int he trunk of my Dodge Avenger which is not what I would call a big car.

Anybody seen those Smart cars? Where in the world would you put bowling balls or anything for that matter in that thing?

I have the bag that's on your link, the Storm Rolling Thunder 4 ball roller and it is awesome. I believe it is much easier to load and unload than a 3 or 4 ball in-line roller or a 3 ball with a joey. You can take it apart and load 2 balls at a time, and you can move the halves around to fit better in your trunk. A bag that is one solid bag is much heavier to carry as well, although it is more compact vertically. My son has a Roto-Grip 2 ball roller with a Joey and I have an easier time loading my 4 ball bag than his 3 ball bag.
The Rolling Thunder is also much more stable both when rolling it around and just standing it up. I suggest you get the 4 ball Rolling Thunder or one similar to that.

I would second the opinion on a Rolling Thunder. I have one and it is great. Very durable and sturdy. I have a Toyota Corolla, and I can fit 11 balls in the trunk (Rolling Thunder four ball bag, three ball tote, two ball roller, and two ball tote).

Thanks

I use 2 Roto 3 ball rolling totes and a 2 ball carry tote. Can fit all three into the trunk of my wifes convertilble VW Beetle or the Shelby GT500.

try getting a storm streamline 3 ball bag, add a joey bag, and two bowling balls fit in the gigantic shoe compartment. So, spend 90 on the 3 ball bag, 10 for a joey, and just fit two balls in the giant pocket, and you have a slim, sturdy, 6 ball bag, that's what i use to transport equipment now adays

Thanks for the all the responses about the bags! I'm going to look to either getting the 4-ball Streamline, Rolling Thunder or the newer Track 4-ball roller. I got a total of 3 bags in my closet (Ebonite 3-ball tote I just bought, KR Strikeforce 3-ball with joey, and my crappy Columbia 2-ball tote), so I'm trying my best to eliminate room in my closet to knock it down to just two bags.

I have the streamline and as much as it hurts me to say this I have a 73 mustang which during the summer Ive had to use a few times and I have had to stuff my 4 ball streamliner,(2) 2 ball totes, 2 ball roller(streamliner), and 2 singles was a VERY tight fit but does fit.
