Candlepin is tough to find outside of the northeast. |

A main strike ball, a corner pin ball, and maybe a ball for different conditions or if the machine eats your strike ball when it breaks down, lol. A long time ago I bowled a summer league with my wife and a good friend (3 person teams). She had never bowled before. My buddy walks into the bowling alley and seems me and my wife standing at the counter. In effort to make a quip about how I am cheap when it comes to my wife, he says, "Hey Kim, how come your husband has two balls and you don't have any?" I just laughed until he realized what he just said. |

Just show it to the guy at the pro shop. He'll either resurface and suck the oil out or suggest it's time for a new one. Perhaps let him watch you throw a few first. You just need 2. I don't want to carry more than that! If you have a cart you have too many. Get a plastic ball for certain spares. A good reaction ball and a plastic ball shouldn't be more than $250. I have yet to bowl a 300 for real..or in World Class Bowling..Ive come close though. |
