Bowling Ball Arsenal Help
« on: August 31, 2008, 07:19:15 AM »
I just wanted to get some kind of advice on my league arsenal.  I hope to have between a 8 - 10 ball main arsenal.

Right now this is my incomplete Arsenal w/ pics:

Bash - Rico'd -http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Ebonite_Bash.jpg
Momentum - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Columbia300_Momentum.jpg
Complete NV - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Ebonite_CompleteNV.jpg
NVD - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Ebonite_NVD.jpg
Break Pearl - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/900Global_Break-Pearl.jpg
Toxic - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Hammer_Toxic.jpg
Enriched Uranium - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Lane1_EnrichedUranium.jpg
NV(PBA Comp ball) - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/Ebonite_NVRare.jpg
Threshold - http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/yankeefan51582/Bowling%20Balls/DynoThane_Threshold.jpg

Right now the NV, Enriched Uranuim, Threshold and Toxic are on the "button" so to speak. I would like to add another mid range Solid to the mix because most of the arsenal is Pearl with the Strong Solid being the NVD and the Threshold and Enriched are the Particle Pears. I am also looking at buying/trading for some equipment.

Please offer up any advice you have with balls i should put in or take out. The complete list of all of the balls i have in my possession are in my profile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

PS Might be getting rid of a couple and may be getting an AMF Nighthawk and Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle.

PS part 2. I have a main Aresnal and a secondary one.  Both ones have some of the same balls in each one.

Thanks

the nighthawk can be a good ball depending on drilling for mid-light lanes. thru my personal viewings of it, i have come away impressed

an AMF Nighthawk could be a good choice, but also a T-Road Solid, that is a great piece and very versatile.

Joe,

Does your league shot vary that much in which to warrant having so many balls to take on league night?  I personally keep a total of 5 + spareball in my locker but on most nights only need 1-2 balls to switch back and forth from. I keep a couple of "oilers" just in case the lane machine screws-up.

If the shot in your league varies that much, maybe there's an issue with their lane machine and maybe suggest they look at it or do they throw out a different pattern each night/week.  Just a suggestion.

Seriosly though, you should probably trim that arsenal down to about 4-6 balls max. For typical one house leagues, a two ball arsenal is plenty. Unless you bowl regular in a traveling league or pba league, then I would suggest about 4-6 balls! You have way too many options, which can lead to alot of trouble. Just a suggestion.
