I do. It was a plastic ball Brunswick. It was red swirly. Conventional grip. No inserts of any kind.

I was 12 or 13, I forget. But I do remember putting a pillow at the end of the hallway and making my own "lane" so that I could practice. The ball put little burn spots on the carpet, hehe.

Man, I remember how much I loved that ball. I'd clean it when it was already clean. The good ol' days!

Do you remember your first ball?

First ball given to me by my Dad was an old Don Carter red and black ball. O don't remember the name of it.
The first ball that I went and bought on my own was the Yellow Dot.

My first ball as a lefty was a K-Mart blue axis ball when I was like 7 or something.
My first ball as a righty was a Hammer Nail.
Both have long been retired.

An 8 lb AMF Star Ball, I was 10. Had it for years and use to throw it thumbless just to see it hook. Man that thing left some weird shots. Great memories, thanks.

Mine was Ebonites Thunderbolt. That ball was amazing
for me. I had plenty of great scores with it.

First ball when I was 8 was an old "Lucky Strike" that my dad bought for me from Sportmart back in 87. Still have it in the closet at home.

After getting back into bowling in 97 first ball was a 13lb Blue Hammer, bowled 2 finger with it for about 6 months then used it as a spare ball while I got a 15lb Combat Zone Tracer (started to use my thumb).

Now I have too many balls....
