Bowling balls are often referred to as a tool. If that is true, how come some people are criticized for wanting to find the right/best tool for the job??? Sure, I can take flathead screwdriver and tighten a Phillips screw , but a Phillips head screwdriver is better suited for the job and can do it easier.

Most keep buying tools without investing in ones abilities.

^^ Brilliant

Well stated guys... You have your answers op.

Finally decided on my league tool chest having only a pin down IQ Tour, a pin up Hy-Road and a Blue Hammer.  Have a shit ton of others especially urethane balls because I enjoy throwing them, don't have many other hobbies, and still cheaper to own a closet of bowling balls than a boat.  Only buy a few balls to score with and the rest to roll for fun.  But its good not to be that guy at league at least.

That sounds like a strong lineup. I really loved my blue hammer back in junior league in the 80's

I probably average nearly as high with my urethane considering urethane or reactive throw a lot more 2nd balls than I should.  If I wasn't able to put up clean games as consistently would probably throw both in a lake.  Still considering at like 15 or 16 balls total guessing might be on the low end compared to some of the folks on here.

Our league shot changes frequently as the proprietor keeps tweaking the shot due to changes in the weather and changes in lane oil.  We bowled last night and we bowl tonight as well.  He said "the shot you bowled on tonight will be different from what you bowl on tomorrow night".  I usually take an extra ball or two due to the changes.

I can't understand the issue this seems to bring to others.

I don't think it's an "issue", I think it just brings comedy to a lot of us.

who cares if somebody just like to thrpw a lot of different stuff?

No one "cares", you do you.

For me half the fun is contemplating bowling balls and throwing new stuff

Manufacturers, you hear this?   

Posts like these is why some of us (DOOM!    ) always make the little comical jabs.
