League Balls vs Tournament Balls
« on: April 13, 2010, 04:27:43 AM »
Just wanted to know if most of you bowl tournaments with your normal league balls or do you have a different set..  Most tournaments are flooded or extremly dry which you normally dont see in everyday league.

I got some gear that I use specifically for tournaments.  They're usually pieces with "exotic" drillings, like pin in palm or longer/shorter pin to PAP distances.

Yeah, I basically have a tournament arsenal, and then I use the balls I'm about to retire in league.

I live in Florida so usually a Columbia Freeze is more than enough ball for any typical house pattern in the area.

I definitely have tourny balls versus league balls. I bowl in 4-5 different houses in our area, and most of them are of the lite oil variety.

Rarely do I need big oil pieces. When I go to tournaments away from this area,I take those pieces with me, as well as a couple of condition specific pieces. Usually for extremely dry.

I do have a seperate set for each.  My high-end equipment I don't take to league anymore.  My reign with a weak layout can barely make it through league.
