Oldest ball you have that you STILL use?
« on: November 20, 2008, 04:38:35 AM »
There's been alot of posts lately about how many balls one buys a year, etc.  Granted I've bought some new ones this year, but I have 5 others that I still have a great use for. The "oldest" one I still use is a Track Mean Machine.  It was released 7/06.

Does it really matter?

Oh what a ball that was too!  The first reactive I ever bought.  I just got a NIB too, but it's 15 so I probably won't be drilling it up anytime in the next 30 years.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Quantum Fire.  Maybe the best ball ever.  I don't know why I'm thinking of taking it out of my arsenal.

I used my Regal Quantum on Thursday, after the week before using a Dynothane Elixir. Regal Quantum was probably 98 or 99. Shot my first 800 with it in 2000. I pull it out every now and then to see if I can recapture the magic.

As far as my regular arsenal. My "oldest" ball is a Flash Force---so not too old.
