Can/t believe somebody is still using one of these bowling balls! I've got an old Purple Rihno at home sitting around doing nothing!

Why not? They're nearly indestructible! Great old balls too! I've got an original baby blue hammer that comes out from time to time. It's a beauty. I wish I could find a 15lb black phantom. Got 2 or 3 x 16lb kicking about.
 
Yeah my purple rihno is 16lb, hence, why it's sitting around doing nothing... Was a good ball though...

I can remember the Rhino's coming out but never owned one... bowled last night with an original Faball Hammer (the black one) whilst new balls are ordered and the current ones are fixed for fit. Rolled 589 off a 188Avg and left more five pins from pocket hits than i can ever recall :)

Been out of bowling since 2004 so a lot of balls and technology has passsed me by, but what i can remember owning is a bit of a nostalgia trip.

Generic Brunswick 13lb ball no idea of name
AMF Gold Angle
AMF Blue Angle
Columbia u dot (red ball)
Faball Hammer (black)
StarTrax Force10 - the dark blue soft one, the one ball i wish i still had even after all these years.
Sledge Hammer
Brunswick Attitude1

And now looking a a couple new Motiv balls to get up to date :)

i'm sure i've forgotten a couple.

Cheers
Phil
