If you could use only one ball what would it be?

LH, I would go with The Crow.  Not many to choose from LH and some I haven't used much yet.

RH, definitely my old Blue Warlock.

Nope, I bowl in 2017. There is no need to limit myself to one ball.

You, sir, are a buzz kill.

>In less than 1 year I've drilled up 8 new balls

About what I have done since fall season started so have company.  Also have company with the IQ Tour leaving 9 on THS.  Tried the Hy-Road yet?  That ball or the Venom Shock may become your new go to ball.  If have a decent size arsenal bury your pride and buy a cheap pancake plastic ball (can get a Pyramid Path for like $40 shipped and really impressed with quality so far) or urethane for spares.  Can't recommend that enough.

as far as  a spare ball that's the only ball I have that's from the year 2000 arsenal it's a blue dot. I think that's pretty good for shooting spares. I've never owned a motiv ball but I here a lot of good things about the venom shock but the hy road is so ledgondary I don't know which one to try first.
Of the two which one first?

I would go with the Hy-Road first as it can handle a bit more oil imo and it hits so damn hard.  Hard to go wrong with either.

I am a southpaw but I've never chose a ball based on my being lefthanded. The crow interests me because I don't have any urethane equipment yet. I've read on this thread many who think it's a great ball as well.

.

I can only choose between balls that I have used either LH or RH and only with that side unless I use one for each.  I had to start bowling LH for past two years due to right shoulder injury.  I am not a high average bowler either side so take that into consideration, but from my experiences, those are my choices. 

I like the Crow for LH because it helped minimize my errors in arm swing or release.  I like the Blue Warlock because in the past 20 yrs it has been a good benchmark ball and I can take it out to the lanes anytime and find a line with it or know if something else will work better either up or down.

i have the same problem with buying bowling balls. if i hadn't sold some i would have
probably around 13 balls

I have 34 drilled balls at the moment...

Depends if I am bowling on league conditions or have to otroare for s broader range.  League on house shots, and the answer is easy.  Any strong asymetric that you like.  For a broader range of patterns,  there is no easy answer.
