Hey everyone,

Okay, there's no doubt about it: I'm addicted to bowlingballs! I get rid of good balls because I want to try everything that comes out.

There you have it, 70 balls, and most of those are in the last 2 1/2 to 3 years! I know that I'm not the only one. Who else is with me? List what you've had. I know there are people out there who will break the 100+ mark. Pour out your hearts and list what you've had. Remember, you're not alone!

You guys can't hold a candle to the master, Nicanor.

He carried that many balls in his explorer.

One year while he was on deployment, his wife had ball racks built and installed in the basement just to clear up the clutter.

I believe he had one of every type for each major manufacturer up until the time he left the board last year.

I always had ONE ball .. biggest laugh I ever had was a buddy of mine bowled 299 one league night .. the following week he came with a NEW BALL .. asked him WHY? He responded .. took all the strikes out of that ball last week!

I am now an ADDICT! Have 3 and 4 balls being delivered at one time. Have my wife believing I'm ordering for other people. My home office is running out of space .. At one time I was giving balls away .. now I put them on racks .. somebody help me .. take this computer AWAY!
