Title: ROTOSTAR BALL (GREEN)
Post by: JODELL on January 28, 2004, 11:32:10 PM

A FRIEND GAVE ME A Roto-Grip BALL(GREEN) WITH THE NUMBER C3554411 ON THE BALL.  IT IS A BLANK AND I WAS WONDERING IF I SHOULD USE IT OR IS IT AN ANTIQUE?  SOME ONE AT A BOWLING ALLEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE LATE 70'S OR Early 80'S.  ANY INFO SOMEONE COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE Helpful.

Roto Star was the name used prior to the Roto Grip name.  The C on production from back then puts it as a ball manufactured in San Antonio.  Off the top of my head, though, I cannot think of which one was green.  The ball should have the name on it (they were usually pretty simple back then, like UC2, X2, X3).  It might be a early urethane, but it is more likely a polyester coverstock.  

Roger could probably shed some more light on its history if you have a name on the ball.
