can you get bowling balls fixed?

Yeah, they're fixing it now.
They can even fill in the finger holes.
I don't know how good it'll be after that though.

But I was going to get a new ball this summer anyway.

why would you fill the finger holes?

so people from Florida don't stick their weiners in it?

:high5: :roflmao:

your bowling ball sure does have a pretty mouth

My mom used to be a hard core bowler back in the day. We dropped a bowling trophy off of the speaker About a week after she got it. It broke, I remember the rampage

[Chip]

wow. I had no idea poeple got new bowling balls that often. I figured you buy one, and use it forever.

Some people are nuts with their bowling balls.
They have bags that hold 3 or 4 balls.
A ball for different lane conditions, another to pick up the 10 pin.
And yeah, they'll get a few new balls every year.
I've had that one for 3 or 4 years and and I probably should have gotten a new one a while ago.

[LeNeve]

how much for a good ball?
how different can lane conditions get?
its not like there is weather problems inside
how is a different ball going to help get the ten pin? the first ball got 9 of them already

Haha, ok...

They range from $100 to less then $200
The one I'm probably going to get is only $120
There are a few different oil patterns , and even the same pattern can vary from one week to another.
And the oil brakes down, and gets moved around as people bowl. The more people with similar "lines" will wear it down faster.
And the warmer it is, the faster it wears down too.
And when you hook the ball, it's really hard to hook it and get the 10 pin (7 pin for left handed bowlers), so they'll have a ball that doesn't hook much.

bowling ball fun facts. :high5:

what makes a ball hook less?

[LeNeve]

I think I'm almost ready to go to the bowling alley and tell people what they are doing wrong.

bowling ball fun facts. :high5:

what makes a ball hook less?

The way the weight is distributed inside the bowling ball, and the material that covers the ball.
They absorb oil, so they do weaken after awhile. I've heard of people putting their ball in the oven to heat the oil and drain it out of the ball.

Looking at new balls...
I think this is the first one I've seen where they actually made the weight inside look like something

I left my ball in my trunk yesterday and it was the first warm day that I did that.
When I took it out, it looked like it had been soaking in oil

@UberFacts: Sugar is addictive - It’s consumption releases an opiate-like substance that our brain perceives as a reward, making us want more.

And this explains why HFCS is in nearly every product you buy leading to fatter and fatter Americans/Canadians.

those bowling balls are all extreme.
The dV8 brutal nightmare! with extra kick ass molecules!
