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.

Oldest in terms of overall age, or in terms of how long I've owned it?

If the former...Black Beauty.

If the latter...Zone Classic.  In fact, it's been first ball out of the bag for about a month now.

I'm game.

Faball Blue Hammer, 1989
Faball Blue Pearl Hammer, 1990.

I also have a Ebonite Turbo/X and X-Calibur on reserve, both from 1992.

Storm Eraser. Now just for fried lanes at travel league, but when things are right still works great.

I have a 1985 Ebonite Firebolt urethane all shined up that I will occasionally grab to shoot right side spares.I will also use it as my strike ball if the lanes are extra toasty. Other than that the oldest ball I still use is an Ebonite Playmaker that was my first reactive ball.

I bought a new Columbia Caramel plastic ball (now called a WD) in either 1972 or '73 that I have plugged and redrilled and use for a right hand spare ball.  --  JohnP

I still throw my MoRich MoJave from time to time.  It's from 2007 I believe so its not quite "old" but it is currently in service still for me.  Mild coverstock with a big core....
