Mmmm, a Brown-coloured Grizz.  It was actually found in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada....so if it does happen to be one that you gave away, it's travelled quite some distance, hehe!  I wish I could get it drilled.  I throw 14lbs to heavy-14lbs though.  If it were 15lbs I'd probably drill it up

keep looking ,maybe someday you'll find that Edge II


I left one of those on the rack at my local bowling center last January.  Was bowling about two months later before the Senior League, I hadn't noticed the ball on the rack for a while.  I just happened to turn around and see a little old fellow sitting at a table cleaning an Edge II.  I told him I used to have one of those.  He says, "I just found this ball sitting on the rack about a month or so ago and started rolling it...my average is up five pins since I've been using it."

I didn't have the heart to tell him it was my old ball.  Oh well, one man's trash is another man's treasure...

I found one three years ago in a neighbors trash.
Single drill perfect condition. Still throw it once in a while.

Umm,

Speaking of the trash,I know an AMF Slam isn't
the best ball in the Uvinerse,but I gave one
away about a year ago to some kid/jr bowler
who asked for a so so hooking ball
for medium ta dry lanes.

2 days later my pro shop friend told me he tossed
it in the trash,that bites,because one,it ONLY had
20 or 30 games on it.Two I know several people wanted it for a spare
ball or a dry lane ball.BTW,I will never offer him a
free ball again.It doesent matter,he moved months ago,lol!!!

Just an example about whats in the trash!Maybe someone retrieved
the Slam or its still at the local dump,I dunno?

As for whats on the RACK,I heard someone found a Synergy ball,another
found a Burgundy Hammer,hoo hoo!!!

next!

No, the Edge II is brown just like the Griz in the pic.  The Edge was the red one.
