Last night, through some odd circumstances, our lanes ended up REALLY REALLY dry. After they got to the point that even my Orbit Extreme was burning up, I ran out of options and was actually heading for the houseball rack.
A friend of mine said, "I've got that old red ball in my bag tonight that has the big thumghole in it". Not knowing what ball he meant, I checked it out.
It was shiny and red. The logo is a shield shaped insignia with the letters P-7 inside it. There is a pin in the label, a label which looked like a very stylized P-7.
It was a little long, and the ball was heavy, but I was desperate and the thumb fit, so what the heck. Ball totally ignored the dry heads, went about 50ft, then hooked/snapped just enough to hit the pocket and strike.
Used it in the second frame to double, spare, double, spare, turkey/spare the tenth and save a 200 game.
I think it must be urethane, and I remember bowlingballreviews trying to find info on it once, but nobody seemed to know anything other than it was made by someone out in California I think, and was supposed to have a 7 piece weightblock?
