Since this is technically a bowlimg forum, when was the last time you bowled?
I think it's been 4 or 5 years for me. Went to some bar/bowling alley/club thing with some friends. It was pretty horrible. I'm glad I didn't bother taking my own stuff and just used the house ball. A lady in our group brought her ball (a Storm, because it was pretty and smelled good). She was more of a stroker release, definitely not a cranker nor even a tweener, and she couldn't keep it on the lane. They had NO conditioner out there at all. As soon as she set it down it went immeduately left. Wound up just having a "who can throw it the fastest" competition instead.
So yeah, that pretty much did it for me - since everything within 90 minutes of shitty traffic from my house are all "entertainment centers" I've basically given up the game. I've culled the equipment down to just 4 balls and my 4 ball roller, and have considered getting rid of all that too. All it does is take up space, and I don't see me bowling again any time soon. If I do, it'll be unlikely I drag this stuff out for drunken glow bowl, and if I move somewhere that has a competitive scene and start bowling league again I'll likely need to upgrade anyway...
So, what's your situation with bowling?
