If you want an emergency SPARE BALL!!
« on: July 04, 2003, 02:23:08 AM »
Hey,if any one ever needs an emergencY spare ball just get in your car or bike or walk.Anywho,they are pretty much available at MOST swap meets,garage sales and the BEST place is your LOCAL THRIFT STORE!!! I while back I found a
"prehistoric" OLD swirly 50's b-ball.Its too bad I cant "REVIEW IT",cause this exact site dosent GO BACK to 1950 for bowling balls!!.This ball picks up "10 pins" real nice as well as the other 3 right side shots!This will do the same for leftees too.A word of advice these and newer.I mean pre 1995 b-balls are pretty much used for a spare ball because of todays crazy ("Mazola,or is it Crisco" this week)lane conditions.A "FUN WARNING"!!DO NOT USE A 50'S BOWLING BALL ON ANY SPORT SHOT.I'VE TRIED AND YOU BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK FOR THAT NIGHT!!YEEEESHHH!!I'm just passing/sharing this with all or any.I've also found some decent b-balls at thrift stores too!Ummm,7 months ago I found a "Brunswick Contact Zone" in DECENT shape w/NO track for under $6.00.I still go to these places three times a week.Nuff said,I know they are closed,but hop to it tomorrow.If you dont go you never know what.Ok,I'll be there is some compitition,BUT everybody CANT be everywhere.Some of you may know,BUT others MAY not!GOOD LUCK!!

My emergency spare ball is a house ball. Only time I have to use one is when the lane is very dry or the house have surface ball return.

Fantastic Plastic:  Blue Dot.  Don't leave home without one.  Silver bullet.

Option 2:  Spare Storm.  Dust bowl answer.

Option 3:  Rubber ball.  Smells like burning tires when drilled.
