How many UNDRILLED balls do you have?
« on: May 19, 2004, 07:55:53 AM »
Why do we keep undrilled balls around? Why not drill them and use them?

1. Perhaps we love a particular ball and want to get more to use when our current favorite wears out.

2. Maybe we got such a good deal, we just had to buy it and it does not fit our arsenal needs just now.

3. Your turn ........

Me, I only have ONE undrilled ball, reason #2.

I have about a dozen or so.  BEcause Dyno-thane keeps sending them to me!  I tell them to stop but they respond with next day air.

The bastages!

Tony, tell ya what...just have them hold them at the office and I'll pick them up to save Phil the cost of shipping them to you.  You can be sure the boxes will get to Houston sooner or later

3 at the moment.

Black U-Dot
Columbia Yellow Dot
AMF Classic Pro Roll

The AMF ball will be drilled up for the Pete this summer.  The other two balls I am saving for when the governing bodies eliminate the cheater balls.

Right now I have 5 undrilled sitting around:

2 X-Factors (one is the "pro" overseas version)
Tour Power
2 Lightning Flashs

These are back-ups for when my currently drilled versions die off.  The TP and LF's were bought when the discontinued them before I couldn't find anymore of them.  The 2 XF's were bought only because I got a great deal on an optimal spec'd out US version and the "pro" because it was different!

In the future I can see myself bying a Too Hot N.I.B. if I find the right one and V2's *IF* they ever mess with the ball...hey it has to happen one of these days!!!

Bamster, what balls are sitting around?



Hmmm... I have a several Anomalys, Elements Au79s, Vendetta Blacks, Pearl Particles, A Crisis and I think a Thing Returns.  I forget and too lazy to walk downstairs to check.  

I use them for trading for other stuff.

I have four undrilled right now.

1.  Razor Wire
2.  PINK White Dot
3.  Ebonite Crush/R
4.  Ebonite Tidal Wave Wipeout Sparkle

I have managed to part with some of the round childrens to make room for these 4.  They'll be drilled this summer when I can get to NY to see the guy that I really trust.

Right now, I have one undrilled "waiting" at the Pro Shop of the bowling alley.  As of this afternoon, I'll have two...when UPS arrives with one I got off of the net.  As of tomorrow afternoon, I'll have no undrilled balls.

Right now only 10% of the balls I have are undrilled.

= 5!!!

I'd prefer to have AKA's problem!

Just one, an Ebonite Savage pearl.  I got it for a song and a dance, and just never got around to having it drilled.  I've always had another ball that pretty much has its spot in the lineup covered.

Two AMF Nighthawk M2's for reason #1.  My favorite ball and I want some backups for when the labels go or when it gets too small.
