Still have my first fingertip bowling ball, an AMF Cobra. Also have an AMF Dick Weber 5 Star Ball. Not sure when it came out, but I have the reactive green one. I've been told it was one of the first reactive balls produced, but I don't know how correct that is.

Incorrect. First reactive was a NuLine Excalibur. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIjeL9D2P5E Next were Ebonite Turbo X's and C300 ProHooks and then katy bar the door.

Although I just got my hands on another one, the oldest ball I own is the Strike Zone. What a beast!

I have a Columbia Vector 1 in 16lbs that I used to use a bit during my summer leagues when the lanes were quite dry. Now that I throw 15lbs, it is sitting at my parents house.

Not in use - My grandfather's Brunswick Mineralite is in the basement, he passed away in 1945, I have no idea how old it is. I used it when I was 13.

In use - AMF Whiplash Pearl, my get out of jail free card.

Undrilled - I have a urethane C/Beast in waiting.

Hey scotts,

I used to own an Excaliber. My oldest is the Brunswick Edge. Where does that rate in terms of original reactive pieces?

The Brunswick Edge reactive came out in 2004!
