So my tiny garage has a spot for 2 pins or a bowler or skeeball. I already have 21 pins, full size dart and a multi-cade which makes me think I fall into the obsessive category. The question is, who owns a Bowler or Skeeball. Is it better to use the space for 2 pins or something different? If so, what is better: Bowler or Skeeball. As well after a few years what one keeps its fun factor?

Thanks for helping me keep up with the obsession. Or as my friends call it... The Sickness.

poll added!

I am leaning towards Skeeball, always liked it. Seems like a good stress reliever as well. My friend has a skeeball bowler. "not the puck bowler" my only downside is it feels like every ball a roll is random vs skill.

stuck between bowler and Skeeball now. one issue is the spot where I want to put it has a 79.5" head clearance. Skeeball tends to be between 80-85" and bowlers tend to have less than 80" head clearance. So it may just be the bowler because of space. however, Skeeball is pretty easy to find. a nice EM bowler seems rather difficult to find.

Also, just measured again. I would have to find a 10' bowler I thought a 14' would fit. I would have to sell 3 pins to fit a 14' so this is now starting to look complicated

This is a 9' I assume this was cut down to fit someones home. Or did they really make a 9 footer? If this was in California I would buy it.

Yeah, 14' would be my max. Even that requires some sacrifice. I guess some things are just not meant to be..

They are also less than 9 feet right?

Hmm, I think the hunt is after Williams ALLEY CATS Shuffle Bowling... wish me luck.

Also a 1954 Bally Champion Bowler Shuffle Alley - $1250 near by that could be an option. It is 9' and a 6 player EM

For Ally Cats? I am in California. The other one I just posted as it is FS in my area, but I am not exactly interested in it. The Ally Cats will be something my wife would like. Anything cat related is good for her. However, I doubt I will find that exact theme. Another alternative is Williams Goldmine Shuffle Alley.

So, I am after either:

1. Ally Cats
2. Goldmine
