What was your first ball?
« on: August 19, 2003, 01:53:00 AM »
Mine was an old black and red swirl Brunswick that my grandfather left to me.  I don't know the name, but it will always be with me for nostalgic purposes.

I had a 14# Columbia Scout, the urethane one. Drilled conventional, then plugged and redrilled fingertip. (this was only a year and a half ago) I still have it up in the attic. I plan on keeping it to.

As with anyone who grew up bowling in the early 1970's, a Brunswick Black Beauty.

The first ball I got when I was 13 in 78 was a Black Beauty, my first fingertip ball was a blue white dot, first urethane ball was the origonal black Angle, I quit bowling in 86, and tossed over 25 balls. I got back into bowling in 94 and bought a forest green Quantum, and have bought over 50 balls since.
