quick question i want a new pair of bowling shoes and i am planning on ordering them sometime on sunday.  I will go top of the line unless some people suggest otherwise but i currently bought my sst7's two or 2.5 years ago and their kinda wearing out and their also just not as great as i had hoped the soles overside and have fallen apart and when i adjust from 4 to 2 on the slide i just completely stop no good in between.  I bowl in about 4-8 tournaments a year and 2 leagues year round just want some peoples opinion.  Has had an arsenal question was thinking of goin

Black widow (original)
Raw hammer anger
The sauce
Raw hammer Psycho / or red cherry vibe
Gamebreaker
Plastic

I currently have the breaker, plastic, anger and widow but wanted some opinions on anothter two balls i prefer ebo or hammer but always open to suggestions... thx

IMHO -

If you're going to houses that you don't bowl at frequently and had to buy a replacement sole or heel for either a Dexter or a G3 shoe most shops I'm familiar with usually have Dexter replacement heels and soles.  That isn't to say there aren't shops with ABS/Dyno/G3 stuff as well, I just don't see those as often as Dexter stuff.

If you have ever considered switching hands the SST8's are the only shoes, to my knowledge, on the market that let a bowler switch slide/traction soles between the left and right shoes.  A guy I'm currently bowling with has them for that specific reason.

On the other hand, I've heard great things about the G3 shoes.  Unfortunately no one in my local area stocks them, so I can't personally try them for size and usability.
