  Do you only use 1 ball or do you have a couple of balls for different lane conditions??
  
  some people can use 1 ball and adjust according to the different lanes.. but some use different balls for different lanes..
  last time i only use 1 ball...then adjust according to the lane conditions..but now.. getting used to having a few balls..haha..

  well, if you can afford it and hav no trouble transporting, a arsenal is definitely recommended. Basic arsenal would consist of a plastic spare ball, a pearlised ball for heads breakdown, and a reactive to high end particle ball for oily conditions.
  
  For me, i use a particle ebonite XXXcel, a RG silver streak pearl and spare ball. but i know some really good national youth that have 4 high end balls with different drilling, each for some specific conditions. but of cos you will need to have damn good knowledge of lanes and ball reactions, or else so many balls also make no diff.

  When I had the time to play regularly before, I had up to four balls.
  
  Triton Heat 2 Pearl - Thick heads, clear backend
  Chaos Black - Sanded. For those times when the mechanics are generous with the lane conditioning oil
  Rage - Heads that have broken down with minimum backend
  Lightning Storm - Deserts need only apply
  
  Of course, all that was when I played three to five times a week. Now, should I get a chance to bowl and meet friends, I only bring two. And use one.
  I've always been a "lazy" bowler who didn't like to switch balls. I prefer to adjust my release.

  for me..
  
  Columbia Bully for oily..
  storm el-nino for medium..
  scout r/particle for dry??..cuz i can even use this ball for medium oil..but it's not aggressive enuf..
  and i also hv a maxim for spares.. though i rarely use it..cuz i can even spare wif my strike balls..
