Do I have too much equipment?
« on: September 19, 2006, 09:26:36 AM »
I have a Robo Rule, Mean Machine, Arsenal Artillery, and a Machine on the way thanks to the Track Ball A Day Giveaway. Do you guys think I need all of them? Or do some of the balls overlap each other.  I use my Mean Machine and Artillery the most but I don't know where the Machine would fit in.  As far as the Robo Rule goes. I rarely find enough oil on the lanes to use it, usually it just burns up and looks more like a straight ball.  What should I keep and what should I get rid of? Will the Machine be a good replacement for the Artillery? Is the Mean Machine as strong a heavy oil ball as the Robo? Any input from you guys would help. Thanks.

I'd say you have enough equipment. Robo for heavier stuff, Meanie for med-heavy, the Machine for mediums, and the Artillery for anything under. If you're just a casual house bowler, then you're set with two balls that you use. If you go out into tournaments, I'd say you need just one more to fit under the Artillery (great ball BTW, I LOVE it) and maybe a spare ball.

I don't think having those are too much. Each of those balls gives a totally different look on the lane. There is no overlap there.

there are conflicting reviews that say the MM handles the heavy stuff better than the Robo Rule and there are ones that say the opposite. realisticlly i would think that that means that it depends on the bowler and the layout. they are probably pretty similar but I dunno. If you want to get rid of one let me know.

thanks,
Andy
