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 a 3-ball bag; not a 2-ball!  There are actually quite a few people I see that take only 1 ball to league.

For league, 3.  Spare ball, a boomer, and something very controlled and not big in the back end.

I'm one of those guys who buys bowling balls all the time.  Typically I take five with me to league.  4 reactive, and a spare ball.  Typically I have a heavy oil ball, and a dry lane ball that stay in the bag unless the oil machine had a snafu (which is a fairly regular event in town).  Then I have two medium balls that are drilled different, or one may be pearl, while the other is solid.  

The four ball bag is a bit of a pain to get in and out of my trunk, but not too bad.  Having a hatch back makes life simpler.  I have a single ball bag that velcro straps to the handle of the 4 ball roller.

I know its overkill ...

I don't like hauling that big four-ball bag with me to and from league each week, so I use a three-ball bag and a Brunswick Joey.

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in.  Generally, I take 3, 2 reactive plus a spare ball.  If feel like experimenting I'll bring 1-2 more

3 balls on usual. Absolute Inferno, Intense Inferno, and Spare Ball. I alternate the Absolute and the Intense or I will when I get more balls. For tournaments I will take all of my balls and leave a few in the car.

In my home house I bowl once a week at, 4 balls is more than enough...although I am drilling 6 GP2s for this year....some of the other leagues and tourneys I bowl in, especially one house....we bowl 2nd shift, the first 6 lanes are behind a ladies 5 person team, the other 10 lanes follow a mens 5 person league, the shot can go from no backend(carrydown-plastic from the women) to burnt heads and who knows what else beind the men...I will carry 6-8 balls.

If I'm nailing every week it ends up two and a spare or 3 and a spare.

If I'm not nailin it, the whole trunk of a big old Deville!

at one house (sometimes flooded and sometimes not) i bowl, its different just about every week so i have to take(and usually use 2+spare ball):
1 spare
1 control dryer lane ball(older equipment works nice)
1 solid resin for med-heavy stuff
1 particle for heavier and carrydown (track animal!)

other (consistently dryer) house:

1 spare
1 strong pearl resin
1 solid resin

since this is a track forum ball names werent used

The first week of league, I'll be taking a lot since I'll be bowling in a new house and have no idea what the oil pattern will be like, but after that I'll be bringing probably 3, which includes a spare ball.  Depending on how the lanes are, I'll either have a 1-2 punch of two different reactions, or a fresh shot ball and a "step-down" ball.
