They're easily the best bargins to be had, and roll just as good as NIBs or single-drills.

They may not be as pretty, but nothing I like better than beating the snot out of someone who's throwing the latest and greatest when I'm chucking my old thrice-drilled Storm El Nino or thrice-drilled Track Rising (which I paid $10 and $5 for respectively).

Anybody else here have any love for balls with more than one drilling?

Ive had Zillions of them, and they've been no worse that first drill. Im guessing some people dont think they're as 'cool'

Time for some REAL bowling!!!

I haven't had any thrice-drilled gear, but I've had some twice-drilled stuff and it seems to be exactly the same to me.  Great bargains for balls you never got upon first release.

Obviously, you aren't a golfer.
Some stayed in the foothills, some washed logs like teeth.

It all depends on where the plugs are and how deep they went.  Several deep plugs removing material from the core will affect how it rolls and hits.  I don't mind a single hole plug in my track, but I don't want a ton of it.  The plug material isn't the same as the normal reactive resin/particle, so if you track over 3-4 plugged holes, it's not going to roll the same.

Telling it like it is.

Over the years I've bought maybe 10-15 ONE DRILL balls that I've had plugged and re-drilled. Remember only one being of any use to me, that was the AMF TRIUMPH. Gave all the re-drills away with very few games (that I put on them). Perhaps it was all psychological .. but re-drilled balls don't work for me!

i do have some reasons some people might not like:
(1) i remember selling a fired up to someone here that had 50 games on it and then i ended up seeing next week listed on ebay with "only 4 games on it". yeah only 4 games from the time i sold to you maybe.
(2) depending how cheap you get the ball once you add the plug to it the price can start to get 1/2 way to new.
--------------------

I think it also can come down to color match on the plug job.  I have bought some balls in the past where i have replugged thetop 1/ inch of the plug job on the ball to get the colors to match.

the only new ball i have i dont throw ...i gave it to buddy from work.have nothing against new gear,but im in a nice situation with my pro shop one of the owners has my same specs.and he goes through a ton a gear,so all but my oynx vibe santa is bringing me all my stuff is single drill used equipment(most under10-20 games) get them for a third of the price.and with me just now getting back from a 15 yr old hiatis from bowling i cant tell the difference.

i would'nt try or buy one with a bunch of plug/redrills but what im doing right now works for me....now if i can only solve my problems on the lanes id be golden   or maybe i can just blame my *used gear* lol

nice thread will make for some good debate
