this was a three-piece urethane ball made by brunswick and sold at your local k-mart for years. my first urethane ball was a headhunter. it's a 14lb. ball and i had it redrilled fingertip. it came in handy when i came back from a hernia and the next year after getting over a bad back.

I really wanted one of those when I first started bowling.  It was the "more expensive" ball at the local Kmart lol.  So my dad said NAY and got me a Twister instead.

First 200 Game-204 with the Twister, throwing a spinner and aiming brooklyn haha.

As far as movement goes, I am thinking that ball is pretty much obsolete on today's conditions.  It was made in the days of the "short oil patterns".

I'd assume that would be about the only chance you'd have of getting it to hook.

Even if you find a lane you can get some movement with it, I'm not 100% sure this thing will carry.  How much energy will it have when it gets to the pins?

I'm sure the ball will do fine on dry conditions. Any ball will carry if you use it on the right conditions. Now, will it have the same hit as the newer, stronger-cored stuff? No. Still, if you roll it well and get it to the pocket, you'll be fine. Good luck with it.
