How many balls do you typically store in your bag for league?
« on: July 14, 2005, 04:16:45 AM »
I'm wondering how many balls that you guys take for league bowling.  I currently have a 3-ball bag, but I'm looking to upgrade as it's starting to get old.  I'm trying to decide on a new 3-ball or a 4-ball bag (sounds heavy).  For those of you who use 4-ball or more rollers, do you use that "4th ball" which might be a dryer condition ball?

I take with me a 3 ball bag and a 2 ball tote to league every week. Usually 1 particle ball, 3 various resin balls and 1 spare ball. What I will bring with me to a regular league will be different than a sport league though. For instance this week on my Monday league I brought my Absolute Inferno, Slash, Havoc, VP2 and a Target Zone for spares- but for my sport league I bring my Animal, Rule, Slash, Havoc and a spare ball.

I have a couple of lockers at the center that I bowl at, so it's 6 balls...however, on average, I use 3 a night, including a plastic spare ball.  If I use more than that, then I'm probably not having a good night...

I have got a ton of bowling balls, but the only ones that come with me to league are the following:

Rule, X-Ception, Triton Elite, 5.0 and my Pepsi Spare Ball...the rest are in my B-bag which usually most of the time stays out in the car...if I wanna practice with anything different, I usually pull out the B-Bag...

If I have a three ball bag it is three and if it is four I take four.

I take 4 normally. Usually use only 2. But you never know. Sometimes the oil machine breaks down. Sometimes you get a bunch of plastic throwing school kids bowling in front of you....and they never re-oil!! Sometimes the old retired cats have been pot bowlin' on a pair, all afternoon....and they didn't re-oil!

Typically:
Heavy oil ball-solid or particle pearl
Medium oil ball-solid particle
Medium oil ball-strong pearl
Dryish conditions-weak solid or pearl

2. Track Animal and Brunswick Power Groove Teal/Purple Sanded (use this for my spares, or for dry-medium conditions).  Animal is always the first out of my bag, don't bring Power Groove until I have finished practicing with my Animal trying to find a line.  Can usually find a line with the Animal.

Well...my everyday aresenal just grew. I just ordered a Desert Heat as last week in my summer league, I was informed my pair had not been oiled for 2-3 weeks as well....they didn't oil. I was using my polished GP2 pin under ring, cg in palm, mass bias left of thumb and was playing 3rd arrown on the left side and keeping it as tight as possible and lofting the ball to the arrows to skip the heads and delay the roll...and further out and it immediately turned over in the desert...and further in and it was through the nose...somehow pulled a 266 the last game for 712..but I was so tired at the end of the night I said no more...I need a Desert.
