Whats in Your Bag?
« on: June 23, 2014, 08:21:10 AM »
Hey Bowlers, I was just wondering, Whats in Your Bag? I might over think things but when I hit the lanes I like to be prepared. I know we all probably carry a lot of the same things, but is there something that you carry that many of us never thought about? Of course we all have our balls, shoes, cleaner, a couple towels, tape, etc.

I carry all the basics plus a few others, a extra lighter (smoker), a small pill box with pain relief (and I needed it once), nail clippers (nice to have),  I have yet to encounter anyone who carries extra shoe laces ( I would rather repair my Dexters than have to get a rental pair in a pinch).

So if there is anything out of the norm that you carry in your bag, please share it might help one of us!

I carry:
  • a battery operated fan for when centers are hot and sweaty
  • collection of abralon pads and scotchbrite pads
  • extra socks and shirt
  • I do have an extra pair of shoelaces
  • Ebonite ball tool (Swiss army style)
  • extra change in case I have no cash and need a quick bite from the machine
I also know of someone who carries a sander and extension cord to work on their thumb.  If you bowl a lot of tournaments, you will find your collection of stuff grow.  I have enough bad events occur to where my bag of stuff has gotten almost too large.

I carry a bevel knife, workout tools, etc etc, but this one kid walked in with a straight up backpack full of stuff. Props to him.

A small tub of Wet Ones to either wipe my hands with or clean out the finger holes in my ball.  Can be used to clean up other messes too.
