Today I bowled a 635 series: 211, 212, 212 (yes, rather consistent). I celebrated by going over to the pro shop and making the purchases I've been thinking about for a while.
For starters, let me point out my current inventory, as of before today:
My oldest bowling ball (for strikes) is my Battle Zone Missile by Brunswick:
My second ball (for spares, or strikes with very dry lanes) is my Columbia 300 Scout (mine is actually ruby red but I can't find a picture offhand):
Now my new gear:
My third ball (plastic, mainly for 10 pins) is a Columbia 300 White Dot (mine is a slightly different color):
My new bowling ball bag is a Champion Series BSI (3 ball roller):
This summer, I plan to replace my Battle Zone missile with a new ball... possibly one that hooks a little more.
Edit: Don't mind the pictures... the balls are all the same size. The Battle Zone Missile is 16 pounds, and the others are 15 pounds. When I replace the Missile, I will probably get 15 pounds.

That's some sick gear you got there. I personally use a custom-made ball called FireBall. Love it, but my friends are douches for not going bowling with me more often.

Do you mean the Ebonite Maxim Captain Fireball Glow?
I assume not since you said it is custom-made. Is it a plastic ball? If not, do you hook it?
Edit: BTW I can't blame them for not going since non-league bowlers usually pay through the ass for games lol.

Ah, it's not that one. I don't actually know whether it's plastic or not, and the technical details. I do know it's supposedly a ball that has a lot of hooking potential, but besides that, I'm rather newbish at bowling terms, etc. (My average fluctuates wildly between 120ish ~ 160ish). I am bold enough to claim I can stick to a 160+ average on normal bowling nights, however :O

The fuck, you use DIFFERENT balls for different game situations?
Me and my buds, we just go bowling once every blue moon and use whatever the fuck's available right on the ball lane.
Of course my best score is 160ish, but whatever
