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.

I don't use it all the time, but it's my Banger HOLE POUNDER PEARL.

I gave a friend of mine an AMF Thunder Bolt that's 30 years old and he still uses it today!!!   :o

Well I still have a Ebonite rainbow striped plastic ball that is I think circa early 90's. It's currently on retirement and I plan on holding on to it for many years to come.

The oldest ball in my bag that was just taken out of the rotation was my Storm T-Road Pearl. Released in Nov. '06. It was used every night for 3 years straight!

Since the T-Road Pearl was just replaced by the new Storm !Q Tour Pearl my current and now oldest ball in the bag is my Storm Natural released in June '09. My Storm Gravity Shift is older by 1 year but is not currently in the rotation but it's not retired either.

Oldest ball I still use doesn't apply...

Oldest ball I have my current specs on? Ebonite Tiger, it's very useable still. 

Previous to the Tiger I had punched up a Combat Zone Tracer that was incredibly strong for a piece from that era.  I'd put it up against an Agent or even the IQ Tour Pearl today.
