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.

The first ball out of my bag is the Burgundy Hammer.  I've only owned it a year or so.  Then I switch to a Blue Pearl Hammer when the lanes dry up. 
2014-15 avg 193  Current arsenal....Faball Red and Brunswick Blue Ringer Solid / Maxim spare ball.

On a regular basis, I am still using my old:

Zone Red Alert
AMF Hawk
Hammer 3D Offset (pink)

This is necessary because most houses do not supply enough oil volume for the big hookers being sold today. Occasionally a house will supply a longer pattern, with a little more volume, and I'm actually able to use something other than my Sonics, my Outlaw, or Riot.
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!

Gold angle (1/2oz thumb wt, 1/2oz pos side weight)  can't believe i still remember that

Ebonite magnum11 for left hand

And a pair of magnum 9's (for both), for when the lane man forgets to oil.
