Title: Equipment
Post by: jablosa on November 08, 2006, 12:40:15 AM

Hey Storm Nation...question for you guys?  I only like to usually keep 7 bowling balls,and having troubles with that...."That makes my wife happier too...lol"

I have to determine which to get rid of?  Trifecta-Ace-Domination-Pyro-Spitfire-Fired Up-Polished Flood- Negative Banshee-and spare.  The Trifecta is only used for Tournies, and the Negative Banshee is only used when burned out, so need those 2.  I am thinking of ridding the Ace and the Flood, what do you guys think?

I think you need to buy another ball.  Just kidding!  I don't know which one you should lose.

IMO you log jam is with the Ace / Pyro / Spit Fire / Fired Up.  Personally with those balls - assuming you want to get down from 9 to about 6 I'd go with:

Trifecta - your only real heavy oil ball
Pyro or Ace - pick your favorite pearl particle
Domination - medium heavy
Spitfire - medium to slightly lighter
Banshee - this is my get-out-of-jail-free ball
Spare

IMO Spitfire and Fired Up are for the same shot.  Yes, there motion is a bit different so go with the one you like.  

Depending on if you want to go with even less than 6 you may want to rationalize between the Pyro and the Spitfire for the step down from the Domination.  

Personally I am keeping 9 (4 reactive, 4 particle, spare) right now so I'm probably not a good reference point.  If the issue is the wife why not hide a few in the center's lockers.

Good luck with the trim down.

Thanks Greenefam....  Your honesty is greatful.  I work with the covers on all of these to make them all a little different.  Storm is making so many great new pieces, its hard to get rid of my good ol favorites...But I guess the way I am throwing and scoring with the new stuff, it makes it easy...I also do my own proshop work in my basement, so to help with customers, I just have to go with all new stuff, to entice my customers to buy new too.....  Storm Rules...
