Pretty sad....I'm going to put about half of these in the forum for about 5-15 bucks a pop(none of my Brunswick stuff though!).

You know you are a real bowler when you can name almost all of the balls in all those pictures. the worst was all i had to do was see the dark blue ball with a z and knew it was a command zone arc. lol

You don't like the Anomaly, huh?  Alot of em in your don't use pile.  

Gimme!  I bet you didn't see that coming...again.


The Anomaly is a decent ball.  I just never needed it.  I experimented with it a few times with negative pins.  I had two that worked fine, but I'd much rather use my Vendetta Particles, which is one of my favorites to wear the DT badge.

Well most of those are 14's.  I was throwing 14's while my wrist was hurt... it still is, but at least I can throw my 15's again.  A couple in that DON'T USE pile are keepers, I just need to have them redrilled with my current pitches.

I mean really  -  why carry when you can roll 'em like everyone else?


Three other balls not pictured are in my car, in a 3-ball roller.  The rest go in totes because I only use them in tournaments.  Go to a PBA Regional and that's mostly what you see... totes.

This is the best post ever!!!!  I'm showing these pictures to my wife when I get home --- maybe she won't think I'm quite so bad.  Wait, maybe she will -- mine are "piled" in the corner of a "spare" (oops-- no pun intended) room -- they didn't even make it to the closet!!!

We have someone that helps us in the shop that is a ball junkie.  We were getting ready to move from one end of the building to another and noticed there were a lot of bowling balls laying all over the place.  We walked around and asked "who's ball is that?" It's Shorty's and that one Shorty's.  How about this one?  Shorty and that one Shorty's too!  Shorty had 23 balls in the shop all over the place.  Now he is down to the top 2 shelves on a rack and clearing slowly.

Well, since others are posting pictures and I finally signed up at We-Todd...

Here's my ball rack in the closet.  By looking at my profile, you should be able to tell what everything is.  My league balls are on the floor, and my BHF is at the proshop getting a resurface.

WHEW!  After all that work I've finally whittled it down to an 8 ball arsenal for the fall(assuming I don't drill an Intense Inferno and Classic Zone)

You guys are wimps, Nicanor is still taking pictures.  He has so many when he was out on a cruise, his wife had ball racks built just to get them off the floor.  Best guess is well over 100.

Heck yeah.  I shot 300 with the pearl and the particle.  Shot my best two series with the pearl + a break the bank.  The particle has been hit or miss, plus I don't see heavier patterns very often.  I like the roll of the Animal (heavy) and Angle Evolution Tour (flood) better.  I used to ping corners all day with the pearl.  I'm not sure if the cover settled down just a bit or I learned how to control it better.  As many good games/sets I've thrown with the pearl, I probably should buy another to put in the closet.

Do you see a lot of oil?  Looks like almost everything has a good bit of surface.

Everything is box finish except the beast w/mica(light polish), the Teal Rhino(2500 polish), and Gold Nugget(1000 wetsand, polished with Finesse - It compound).  I see alot of Sport patterns, extreme wet/dry, and PBA patterns so there's definately a premium on control(you can tell by the drillings I have) and since I am a coined "Power Spinner(High tilt with alot of rotation similar to Dino Castillo of Team USA or Ryan Shafer)" I need the help from high pin drillings and smooth surfaces to tame the backend.

Jumpin Jesus that's a lot of balls!!!

I'll take those, in exchange for a nice handshake and a hello.  Have we a deal?

I'd take a picture of my balls, but my small mind laughs when I say that... O_o

It might be the cameras as well.  Everything in my rack looks pretty shiny.  Several of the balls have some surface.  Or course, two of the balls I normally keep dull were polished as an experiment.  I hear you about needing control on tougher patterns.
