Lane 1 golden nugget. Ball still hits like a tank.

Still occasionally but rarely use an old green Quantum.

Update. Oldest ball in bag that I'm using once again: Columbia 300 Gold Dot, a pearl urethane piece that's, like, an 82-84 hardness. Purchased it in 1989. Carried 200+ average using it (on wood lanes during the old ABC short oil era). It was my go-to ball whenever I needed to keep things right of the head pin. Now it's virtually a spare ball piece unless the lanes are super torched.

I wasn't going to post on this, but after struggling mightily on a flat 27 ft pattern for 2 weeks in my singles league, I got a 30 year old black diamond out of my garage, and beat my previous high in the league by about 100 pins over 4 games.  I had tried polished urethane and plastic on the pattern, but the old hard rubber ball handled the carry down way better than the other stuff. Guess I will add the Black Diamond to my short oil tournament arsenal. 

Oldest ball I commonly use is a Faball 3D Offset Maxxx, rolls like a champ but is beat to hell due to its many games of use. Oldest ball I own is a Black Hammer but it doesn't see much use and is in poor condition.

27 feet is ridiculous! I sometimes get tempted to try out rubber bowling balls, even if just for fun, but I don't know if anyone would want to drill one up for me due to the smell.

I don't bowl often...last three or four years, none at all aside from two office parties.  But one of the two-ball totes that went in the center contained my Roto RH (the Roto equivalent to the Yellow Dot bleeders) and my Rotogrip Gold Grenade (mid 80's pearl urethane). 

The shelves still also have my Vector II, U2, Nail (the original) and a few others that I would not hesitate to use today if I ever found the interest in throwing a few lines...

Storm, Flame Series, Red Hot is my dry lanes ball, rarely use it though, maybe once or twice this year.  Purchased around 2002, maybe?
