Hi everyone, thought this might be a fun thread to start up. This might end up being a lengthly thread. But who cares, thought it would be fun if everyone stirred up some memories and listed every ball that they have ever owned. Just list whatever you remember ever owning. Would love to see them listed by year to see the change in Equipment/Technology. But list however you would like! I couldn't remember the exact years I bought the bowling balls, so I put them in bunches. Can't wait to check out what everyone lists. Have fun!

1990-1991
AMF-Flight 3 Dot (My First Ball! Handed down from my Dad!)
Brunswick Red Rhino (2nd drill - My First Finger Tip grip!)
Hammer Black Hammer (2nd drill)
Brunswick Black Rhino Pro

1992-1995
Hammer Burgundy Hammer
Ebonite Crush/R (2nd Drill)
Columbia 300 Power Torq (One of my favorites of all time *Core Cracked*)
Columbia 300 Cuda/C Pearl
Ebonite Nitro/R
Nu-Line X-Calibur
HSI/HPI? Ruby Red SunStorm
Quantum Forest Green

1996-2000
Ebonite Blue Wolf
Brunswick Original Black Danger Zone
Brunswick Purple Rhino Pro
Hammer Red 3D Off-Set Super Hook
Storm Eraser

2001-Present
Brunswick Blue Pearl Target Zone
Storm Flame Reactive
Columbia 300 Rock Star
Columbia 300 Reaction Rev
Brunswick Ultimate Inferno (Made the switch to No Grips)
Brunswick Red/Black Monster (2nd Drill)
Ebonite Xcel Particle
Ebonite Game Time Particle
Ebonite Maxim
Track Animal
Track GP2

Breakdown
Brunswick = 7
Columbia 300 = 4
Ebonite = 6
Hammer = 3
Storm = 2
Track = 2
AMF = 1
Quantum = 1
Nu-Line =1
HSI/HPI? = 1

28 bowling balls / 15 years of bowling = 1.8 bowling balls a year. Not bad considering 1991-2000 I was in Junior High/High School & College. Had to save up money for Bowling equipment during those years. Now that I'm working, it's still hard to find the $$$ to buy a new bowling ball.

That # could change though hehe. Haven't had the time to try Mo-Rich/Visionary/Lane #1/Etc. Although, I'm pretty open minded and wouldn't mind trying a ball from every manufacturer (Would love to win the lottery first lol).

Have Fun!
