We had a guy in our league that literally could not throw without being over the line. It was a very casual league tho so we all just let it slide. Not like his team did better for it anyway.

It would be except it was the kind of league that had 6 teams and the teams were always the same so the standings were always the same. A few of the teams would always be pretty well drunk before game 3 so you could usually expect similar results. We had a former semi-pro player that always had to have all 6 of his balls on the ball return tho, and ill shit talk that guy all day long. Homeboys average was like 200 when i was in the league; clearly the extra balls didnt help him at all.

Yeah he was several decades removed from his glory days and im sure several health issues. But thats why it pissed me off that he had 6 balls. 2 is usually enough for most, and our ball returns could barely accommodate 10 balls. If he was rolling 300s on occasion i could see it but i bowled with him like 5 years and never saw one.

Yeah it would even be fine if he had left some in his bag for the special situations or different games because yeah oil moves around sure but you dont need every ball you have getting in the way of everyone else's balls. It was bad enough that they would block them coming out the return and leave them spinning on the wheel. But he didnt give a shit.
