Hi Shadow and welcome to the Hammer message board. If the current balls are working just fine and you have no problems with them continue to use them but also it might be wise to add 2 more to your bag. Depending on conditions you throw on, the BWB and the BWP are a great 1-2 punch. Also for drier or med oil conditions , the Cherry Vibe is a good choice.

Its just fine to stick with what you have. If you keep laying out the pins and you are happy with them, keep it up. There is no need to buy new ones if what you have is working.

I have a lot of balls, I've bought 6 in the past year, namely because I get them for a discount since I run our pro shop, and I like to stay on top of what just came out.

Keep cleaning them and giving them regular maintenance. I have a Blade from 5 years ago that still works great.

Once they are no longer working to your liking then replace them, or if you want to make your bowling confusing just buy a new ball that might give you another look. But to be honest for a normal league player you only need two strike balls and a spare ball. I roll on a modified house shot and I only have two strike balls in the locker, it's just a wast to over think it when you can pretty much find a line with any of your balls...

I am a big 'buy when you want to' person. I guess that explains my impulse purchases (1 week after getting my BWS I purchased a EBL, for no reason). But if you want to try a new ball out, and can afford to, why not do it?

There's no set rule on this one. You could always go on the Crusher plan........buy 'em even if you don't need 'em.:eek:

if the balls you are using work then keep them. if there are certain conditions you run into that your current balls have trouble with (that moving around won't solve) then get a ball a drill it/them to fit the condition(s).
