PBA Pro-Am
« on: March 03, 2017, 12:29:37 PM »
Has anyone bowled in a pro-am?  I have one tomorrow and am wondering what to pack in my arsenal. I have the following:

No Rules Solid
IQ Tour 30
Bad Intentions Hybrid
Teal Rhino Pro
Widow Spare

Thanks!!!

How many are you able to tote with you? Me personally, I take 6 balls to sport shot tournaments. Id rather have it and not need it. than need it and not have it.

5 strike ball options and my urethane which doubles as my spare shootin ball.

Experiences through the years have included everything from bowling on a freshly laid house shot to a freshly laid tournament shot to chopped up practice block leftovers...

Don't be the guy that walks into a pro-am with 6 or 8 balls.

The problem with choosing something to eliminate from...
No Rules Solid
IQ Tour 30
Bad Intentions Hybrid
Teal Rhino Pro
Widow Spare

Is that obviously the spare ball stays but everything is so different in my opinion that 5 balls is within reason.

Maybe choose BI Hybrid or NR Solid but I feel it's still a stretch.

I guess it depends on how serious you are about it. Take the spare ball and your two favorites for a nice 3 ball bag and call it a day. Treat it like league and just enjoy bowling with the Pros.

Post of the year right here. If you need 6-8 balls for 3 games, which if I'm not mistaken, Pro-Ams are 9 pin no tap correct? I can't think of a more dork thing to pull off than showing up with 6-8 balls.
