As an avid golfer, I know you can get caught up in all the hype with the new stuff coming out. I went through it for a few years -- having way too many drivers, more irons than I could ever play an too many putters to count. Now I'm back into bowling after a long layoff and can feel the bug hitting again -- "If I only had this ball....." I bought my Truck and couldn't really do anything with it, so I took a lesson. Now, I at least know how to hit almost any combo on most conditions with one ball. My biggest problem was last week -- I went to practice and the lane they put me on was completely toasted!! I've never seen a ball come back with NO oil on it!! I was lost -- rolled 6 games and had to quit or I was going to screw myself up. I figure I need another ball for that condition -- but the big question is when does it end??? How many balls are too many??
