Why do you do this? Do you hate me?
« on: August 29, 2006, 06:16:37 AM »
I just joined up a few days ago and now I find myself wanting, no no, NEEDING about 30 different balls...  It's all your fault...  I'm going to be broke in no time.

Thanks,
Brad The Broke....

Black Widow
Mean Machine
Double Agent
Agent
C 300 Action Packed
Cobalt Bomb
etc........  The list goes on.

I guess I should use this as my introduction thread too.

I'm 24, just started bowling.  Started out throwing a bunch of 100 average games and after reading John Jowdy's book I've bumped that up to a 150 or so.  I'm a stroker and throw a Storm Diablo.  High game is a 210.

Sounds like you've got "the disease".  Good luck, we all get it.

Hehe, welcome BradM.  I'm in the same category as you...22, started bowling in march, have about a 180-190 average.  Already I have 6 different balls (not from my own pocket though).  Its fun trying out new equipment, but it sucks when some of it doesnt work out for you.  Have fun bowling!

Yes, this website is actually a trick.  It looks helpful and friendly, until it lures you in and promptly snatches your wallet.  You watch in a state of horror as the money disappears from the wallet, but then bowling balls appear at your doorstep to get you to feel elated.  But then a new ball comes out, and the money is taken again.  It's a vicious cycle that nobody has been able to defeat.  Or tried to.

Welcome.

It only gets really bad when you find yourself saying "must have the Precious, must touch the Precious, the Precious is mine, mine, mine........"

The only problem is that you have to buy 30 balls to find out which is the precious ball, only to have it crack on you just after they discontinue it.

As a bonus you get a grace period of about 2 weeks before someone on a rant tells you that you should only have one ball until you reach a certain average.

Ha!  Thanks for all the replies guys, you've got me rolling in the floor!

Can't wait to drop some cash on another ball.  League starts for me on the 14th.  The best thing about all of this, my wife LOVES bowling.  Maybe even more than I have grown to love it.  She's been bowling for about 5 years now.  It gives me a free pass on bowling equipment!

I think she will be up next for a new ball though.  She is throwing a Storm "Trauma Unit" that I can't even find a picture of on the internet.  I think it's about 4 years old.
