Title: Participation/arsenal questions
Post by: itsallaboutme on October 31, 2013, 09:32:51 AM
How many leagues and tournaments do you bowl?
How many bowling balls in you current arsenal? 
How many balls do you take to league or a tournament?
Do you prefer multiple layouts in the same ball, same layout in different balls or different layouts in different balls?

I bowl regular 1 night a week and a roster sub another night.
I have roughly 15 bowling balls.  Arsenal depends on conditions.
I usually take 4 balls to league with me; 3 and a spare ball.
I usually take 6 balls to a tournament; 5 and a spare ball.
I prefer similar layouts in multiple balls with one "specialty" ball (2 inch pin).

Taking the year off this year, but if I were bowling...

2 to 3 leagues; 6 to 12 tourneys per year.
Down to 14 (and still going down)
3 balls for league and 4 to 5 for tourneys.
I had two hyroads and two Naturals with different layouts. Also use diff layouts with different balls.

2 leagues / probably 7-8 tournaments (multiple times in each)

Full arsenal is 9 (including plastic) but only 4 plus a spare go w/me

Wednesday Night: I bring 2 plus a spare ball (the condensed rig)
Thursday Night: I bring 4 plus a spare ball

The lanes at my Wednesday night house are so much more consistant and predictable whereas Thursday house tends to become REALLY spotty at times.

I have 2 layouts that I really like on symetricals.  I tend to let my driller do his thing on Asym's and for balls drilled for the more extreme conditions.

Sunday League/ full time sub Wednesday nights, try for 5-10 tournaments per year

Total arsenal: 5 balls
Sundays: take 3
Wednesdays take 4
Tournaments: all 5

Different layouts and surfaces. Crossroad and Twisted Fury drilled similarly but different surfaces, Crossroad is 4000 abralon to read lanes and Twisted Fury has polish to combat early hook

1. 2 leagues.  A Monday mens "fun" and a Friday Men over 55 Money league. Counting King of the hills 15-25 tournaments
2. Total arsenal currently 25 balls
3  4 plus spare to league (different arsenals between the 2 centers)   7-10 plus spare to tournaments
4.I have 5 basic layouts I use across most of my equipment  5x45x35, 4.5x60x35, 5.5x60x40, 4x60x70,5.25x60x70

1. Three leagues: One wet house-med-hevy to medium; One medium-to light oil house; and one dry to toasty house. And about 4-5 tournaments
2. Eight to nine balls in my current league arsenal, though I have many more to choose from.
3. Because the leagues I bowl in are inconsistent, I take 6 every week. It's been years since I've done this, but this year I have to.
4. To tournaments, especially those I've never bowled before, 9-10 balls.
5. This is an intriguing question, that I didn't even realize until I thought about it:All three of the options you mention......I use.
I have multiple layouts in the same ball that I use on dry conditions, to give me the ability to play "around" someone who is using the same line as me, when oil is at a premium.

Do you prefer multiple layouts in the same ball, same layout in different balls or different layouts in different balls?

1 league a week, 4 tournaments a year.
I have 20-25 drilled and 30 undrilled
I take 5 to league and 5 to local tournaments and 8 to out of state tournaments.

I have 3-4 layouts I use consistantly. I see many benefits when having the same layout on a few different balls and using a few different layouts on the same ball. Have done both.

Very interesting results.  The number of leagues bowled is higher than I expected and the tournament participation is lower than I expected.

2 Leagues plus subbing.
Probably 20 tournaments.
Total 12 balls
6 to league and tournament, because I am too lazy to change bags.
Similar layouts but different sanding to get the reaction I want

-2 leagues per week(sub in a third league as needed), 2 tournaments
-7 balls in current arsenal
-Take 5 balls to both league and tournament
-I have a couple layouts that I will go with across my equipment. I don't purchase that much equipment every year, so I typically stay with what I know works for me.
