Some older equipment you miss
« on: March 07, 2010, 09:17:19 AM »
Me and some buddies were talking bowling today. We got on the subject of equipment on what were some of the older balls that we wish they would remake. I got to say I miss a lot of the older Storm equipment I used to throw. My favorites were the "El Nino Gold" the first "Trauma" and my "Eraser PBT". It just seemed like I could never do bad with those piece of equipment. What was some of the good stuff you used that you wish ball companies would release again?

Wow the gold Quake was great I remember that ball.

I like the orignal Hammer 3D the pearl and solid.

+1 A lot of good balls from that series except the Timberwolf...that one was junk. I bowled some of my best series/averages with a Grey Wolf pearl. If I hadn't dropped down to 15#, I'd pull mine out of the basement and plug/redrill it. =(
Also miss my Teal Rhino... *sniff *sniff

I'm sure every ball ever released will be mentioned here before too long...

For me: AMF Solid Black Ninja, Columbia 300 Solid Blue Aftershock, and the Lane#1 Pearl Cherry C/2

Well I have only been bowling for a year and a half, so I can't comment on balls I miss. However, I can comment on balls I wish I was around for. I saw a guy pull out a Ebonite V2 Sanded this weekend and proceed to shoot 770, 715. This ball looked like it rolled up early and smooth and absolutely exploded the rack. He also told me he has a 823 with this ball. Wow.
