lowest priced bowling ball you have shot 300 with
« on: February 16, 2004, 08:58:50 AM »
Ok, tonight i shot 300 with my Storm HOTROD,  and since i got this ball i have been consistantly shooting mid 600's cuz i find my carry is alot better.

And since buying this ball i am gonna revamp my arsenal around lower priced bowling balls that dont hook as much, cuz i dont need big hook.

But i just wanted to know what was the price of your ball AS NEW, not being bought used or something, or a gift, but what would you have paid if you bought it from the pro shop.

i paid 137$ for mine,, not bad for only having it about a month, and having several 700's and nothing lower than a 640 with the ball, and getting a 300 with it.

Congrats on the 300!

#1: Nighthawk M2 - "free" through a ball league
#2: Nighthawk M2 - used, $40-50 from a ballreviews member
#3: Silver Streak Particle - used, $30 from John Figueroa
#4: Silver Streak Pearl - new, $93 from Mike Austin (tonight as well!)

I'm not sure if the Nighthawks were considered high end in there day, but they would be considered midrange now.  Silver Streaks are mid range also.

300 this year with my 9 year old Cuda/C, did buy it new way back when...

300 with a Nitro R2 Pearl that my friend gave me for free, just had to plug and drill.  He hated it, I love it.
