El Nino
« on: July 14, 2005, 03:34:02 AM »
Does anyone remember the original El Nino?  I know where I can get one pretty cheap but I wanted to know what type characteristics does it have?  Does the cover hold up or does it die?  Should I even bother with it at all?  Can someone help?

I can't answer those questions, but it was my favorite ball until it was resurfaced too many times.  The center I bowled in changed the lanes and until everything settled in, my ball was getting gouged to death    I couldn't get a new one as they were no longer available.  I loved that ball.

If you don't want it and it is 15# let me know.

Mine did great. I kept it clean, and baked it once. I bought it used, and it probably had about 50 games on it when I bought it. I probably put about 75 on it, and when I sold it, it had LOTS of life left.

Thanks.  I vaguely remember it being a great ball.  I just bought one for $20 bucks and thought i'd give it a try.  Can't beat that price.
