Best of The Old Equipment?
« on: October 10, 2005, 03:42:18 AM »

Turbo Saphirre (urethane)
Turbo X
Turbo XL
Any of the Urethane Turbo's

Wolf
Clear Wolf    
Grey Wolf Pearl  
Red Wolf    
Red Wolf Pearl    
SeaWolf    
WereWolf    
Clear WereWolf
Timberwolf solid
Timberwolf pearl

Timberwolf Pearl (although up until about 3 weeks ago, I was still using my Clear Werewolf). Both of the clear balls were excellent (since they were plastic with multi-density weightblocks, but I'd still have to say my old Timberwolf Pearl.

PS...I never threw anything from the Turbo line...

In the Wolf series, you left out the best one of them all, the original solid of the Grey Wolf, the Blue Wolf!!

The TimberWolves were pretty good too!

Crush/R Circa 1993/94

My first year in adult leagues I bowled pretty well with this ball. Had it for several years before giving it to a good friend of mine. BTW, it was used too!

I still own a pristine timberwolf, works like a charm up the boards my favorite was the Red Wolf Pearl. I sold it off when i dropped to 15 lbs great ball always good hit and worked well on most patterns.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the 8-ball have the wolf series core in it as well?

GOSH DANGIT!!! Good job though charlest...I KNEW there was one missing, and it was racking my brain trying to figure it out. I just can't believe I forgot about the Blue Wolf (seeing as I even owned one for awhile).

I loved my Reactive 8 ball.  Still have it, but its a bit hit out.  Good news....I have two NIB 16lbers waiting.  Yes it does have the Wolf core.

The Tidalwave, Tidalwave Wipeout, and Tidalwave Sparkle were also great balls.

I got hld of a NIB Werewolf (the bright red, not the clear) last year, drilled it up pin under ring finger w/ cg kicked out about an inch.  I love this ball, it has the smoothest reaction out of anything I have, and with it at 400 grit w/ some polish, it's great for lower volumes of oil or when the shot really breaks down.

When I first started bowling, the Turbo-X's were king!

I have never thrown one, but everybody that I respected, had one and scored with it!
I just recently picked up a Blue Wolf, (off the rack at a bowling house) and this ball is an absolute BEAST!!
Guess I'll add another weapon to my arsenal.
