Author Topic: 6 Ball Bag...Are They Worth It? (Read 11481 times)

I've been bowling alot of tournaments lately and having to roll in a 3 ball bag and 2-2ball totes is getting to be tiresome. So is it worth it to get a 6 ball bag, or would a 4 ball bag and a 2 ball tote be the ticket? If I got the 6 ball bag, I could always take one of the two ball bags off for just league nights to make it easier, and than add it back for the tournaments. Does anyone own a 6 ball bag, and if so, your thoughts?

Gunny,

KR 3-4-5 roller. Done. I would combine that with a vise 3 ball clear top bag, and have 8 balls at your disposal. IMO, 6 ball bags are large and bulky. Just my opinion.

I'm not a fan of the 6 ball bags, they are too large and heavy, I always just roll with the 3 ball roller totes and/or 2 ball totes depending on how many balls i'm bringing.

i would agree on the 3-4-5 K-R bag -- i also believe the 6 ball rollers are just too big. i currently have a K-R 3 ball roller, and i use a 2 ball bag. but my next purchase will be the 3-4-5 K&R.

Consider a four ball bag and two ball tote. I have a hammer four ball and ebo two ball toe with a storage compartment. I put the tote on top of the bag and roll both around. Loading and unloading is a breeze because the top bag unsnaps and lifts off of the four ball bag. You can put it back on and use it without snapping the straps back together. Also You can carry a single with or instead of the two ball.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

I go with 2x 3 ball totes. One with a detachable shoe compartment and a zippered pouch while the other one is just a plain 3 ball. Its lighter, fits in any car and I can fly with the exact same bags.

I thought about using a 4 ball bag and a 2 or 3 ball tote. But than I started thinking that for a few bucks more I could just go 6 ball bag. Using the full 6 for tournaments plus a 2 ball tote, and just taking off one of the bags and using it as a 4 ball bag for leagues. But, now I'm thinking a 4 ball bag, and a 2 or 3 ball tote. Thanks for the opinions guys.

Gunny, 3 or 4 ball bag with 2 ball tote... 6 ball bags are just to bulky...

But if you do, both models you mentioned are good...

However.........if you can find one, An Ampac 6 ball roller is quite compact. I picked one up used off of ebay before the summer started and de-conveted my 6 ball kr bag back down to a 4 ball for leagues and use the 6 ball for traveling. The ampac bag takes up a bit less space than the typical 6 ball bags, and so far has worked well when I have used it. Of course the hard part would be finding one.

That is true....I still remember one of my bowling partners who had that bag...

It was a sunday Morning... it was 20 degrees out and snowing...And the wind chill was about zero...

And he was out there in the parking lot trying to put his 6 ball bag together...

He almost frooze to death...lol oops

Of course you guys in Florida probably would have that problem...

I use the Storm Rolling Thunder 6-Ball Bag. I had a 3 ball roller, but you had to lift all 3 balls at one time to put it in the trunk. I much prefer the 6 ball. With the 3-4-5 ball optional, you still have to lift too many balls at one time. 6 balls are heavy, no matter what configuration you use. I only take 4 balls to league, but I have the other two balls whenever I go to a different house.

Furthermore, you dont want to be "that guy" clogging up the concourse area with that 6 ball bag albatross. Knocking over tables, knocking over chairs, dragging other bowlers bags, etc Do you really want to deal with that?
