what do you think
« on: December 26, 2003, 04:57:08 AM »
ok, i have my choice on either getting a 3 ball roller or a 4 ball roller.  whichever one i get its going to be from columbia probably.  if i get a 3 ball roller it is going to be one of the tall and skinny ones.  now my question is this... which one should i get i have 5 bowling balls that i regularly use, and for 5 bowling balls i would think that a 4 ball roller would work perfectly.  another question is how much space do each take up?  im kinda limited on trunk space in my car and not completely sure if a 4 ball bag will fit with all the other crap i have in my trunk.  and if me and a friend are going bowling and we have to find room for his stuff to then its going to be a tight fit.  and last but not least,  has anybody had any problems with the bags breaking on them ex. handle, wheels, frame, etc.?  im just trying to decide if i want to fork out the extra 30-40 bucks that it will take to buy a 4 ball bag over a 3 ball bag.  

thanks.

P.S. I currently have 1 2 ball tote that is in decent shape and 1 2 ball tote that is my dad's so i really don't want to use it too much even though he isn't bowling right now.

I have a KR 4 ball bag. It is awesome, and actually fits better in the back of my Tahoe than a 3 ball bag. However, the handle is tall. In a smaller car, it would have to lay down. You may want to check out the dimensions before you spend the money.
However - getting a 3 ball bag out of a car trunk could be a challenge. The back of my rig has no lip to lift the bags over. In fact, that's why I drive what I drive.

thanks for the reply mumzie.  my car is actually an old 1985 amc eagle and it has a hatchback so it will definately have to lay down.

any other thoughts?

I also have a 4 ball roller and I usually use the Tahoe. I have put into the trunk of my 95 Mustang GT many times. It barely fits but it does.

I just got a 3 ball roller for x-mas, but I would get a 4 if I were you, it takes up maybe a LITTLE more space then a 3 since its stacked vertically, go for the 4 deffinitly!
