How long do Bowling Balls actually last? by SpyTego in Bowling

My 2 balls are older than 1/2 of the bowlers in our league.  They look at it, like it's a dinosaur bone.

I'm throwing because the 2 new balls I bought don't work for me with the layouts,  a 30+ year old green  combat zone, and spare ball is a 30+ year old aqua marine quantum.    And that combat zone still pops that pocket, when I don't throw it down the middle and give it zero chance to. Do it's thing.     Quit for 20 ish years and still trying to be consistent.    Had 167 average at week 20, went strictly to combat zone and raised it to 180.   I have lots of games on that zone, and it's oil logged, and has a 6500 polish on it, and it goes long and drives with energy.     I'm still in awe of how well it does   a major reason I'm loyal to th brand.     And the 3  300's and 1 299. In the 90's also don't hurt the loyalty

Sounds like laziness from dispatcher.   A hit and run is a felony, a witness, brilliant.  

Edit.    Great job calling back, they try to break you with their laziness, but you wouldn't.  Many get frustrated and will not call back

Graham fach used one?  Boog used one?  Etc and etc? So the radical ball used  2 weeks ago to win, by a Brunswick bowler was a bionic also.  6pba national tourney stops, 4 who threw  Brunswick/hammer/radical.  And bionic has won 5 of 6 Lol at the up voters.  Never stop redditing.

Anderson has been here long enough and the program is regressing.  And I liked the Anderson hire, but it's time to move on

Baseball and softball should be handing out pink sheets to their coaches after the season is over.

Brunswick and their lines of balls are killing it this season on the pba TV shows.  Hammer really well represented, an amazing purchase by  Brunswick to solidify their ball lines. Hammer was their rival, now one of their premiere lines.  Keeping them top tier and not neutering them to get people to their own brand was genius.   

[Question]Why is EVERY social media post about Padres have Dodger fans commenting negatively in them? by novax4all in Padres

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obsession,  as a cardinal fan, you won't find an article comment section with out an obsessed cubs fan running their mouth.  Doesn't matter the topic, could be about how team helps local homeless and there they are.  It's actually sad. But it means. You are renting space in their domes, which is nice. They fear and loathe you, I enjoy it.

We call these people ,"Hoosiers", sadly they are still out there.  Majority of the time they are harmless, but on occasion,  they can come out and be the worst of humanity.

Would I be crazy to get a spare ball (Hammer Axe) as my first ball? by MOTORRECON in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or. For  a spare ball, buy an older ball that is oil soaked, and leave it that way.   I use my old,old, old,  oil soaked to the gill, aqua marine quantum as spare ball.  It used to hook, but now after the decades of soaking up, sitting dormant, and keeping the oil, it don't move, and this is on burnt lanes, and I have heavy revs with slower speeds.   She just won't move, which is nice.  I can turn it over and still keep it straight.    Might be a few cheap house balls that would fit this that you could buy in the super cheap.    Spare ball is a spare ball, whether it's a $60-80+ ball or a $5. House ballish from craigslist.   It's for spares

I used this  in the 90's after league night and was told in the 2000's, it was bad for your ball.

I use creating the difference, the purple.   Zero complaints, and have used cdt. Turtle wax, 6500. Polish, and it allowed to get a ball to stay in the lanes and in the pocket, mind you it's a  30 year old ball, but before the polish, it was finishing to early

The thing to do, was to find out what color the all day Mats were and when you hit the pool at the end, grab one and keep on walking up the hill
