okay... How many balls do you really have?
« on: May 30, 2005, 04:39:03 AM »
I got to thinking, I've got enough balls to take a small ethiopian army bowling. Actually I have 12. Super Carbide bomb, XXXcel, Xcel, Xcel pearl, BVP punisher, BVP Goliath, Blazing Inferno, Storm X-factor Vertigo, Untamed Animal, Bionic Zone, big deal, and the real deal. Come to think of it, it may be 13, I feel like I'm leaving something out...LOL... Anyway, I find that depending on where I'm going, I take different ones. My point, I take so much grief from my girlfriend, you know, "How many balls do you need" and blah blah blah...LOL... I was wondering if anyone else has this same problem...

Me too.  But to make you feel better, you don't have that many compared to a lot of people on here.  Nick Smith's list would make you look like you have nothing.

Well here's what's sitting in my room...All 15# except when noted.

Ultimate Inferno
Speed Zone
Monster Bruiser
Monster Screamr
Power Groove
Target Zone
16# Fuze Eliminator**
Solder Zone* (actually a target zone, but there's a long story )
16# blue Nail Urethane
Maxim*

* indicates not in use anymore for any number of reasons
** indicates will be used, but has not been redrilled yet

So, I have 10, but only 6 are in use.  And of those, only 4 have been used in the last 6 months.  And of those, only 3 have been used for more than 10 games in those 6 months.  Screamr, power groove and target zone.  Darn lighter oil patterns in youth leagues.
