Oldest ball you still use.
« on: December 28, 2012, 07:34:46 AM »
Hey all, just curious on what would be the oldest ball you have in the bag,or have in your posession. I have an Ebonite gyro urethane from '91 that I use for spares and really torched heads,and a Dynothane Maximum Risk from '97. What gems are still being used out there.

Ocassionally a Forest Green Quantum before dropping to 14# balls, so I am now trying to decide whether to keep it or sell it.
