OLDEST BALL IN YOUR BAG, CURRENTLY IN USE

[finspin]

About a year ago I discovered one of the original Cuda/C in my shed that had tracked out. I decided to stick it in the dishwasher. Wow after regripping and surfacing. An old ball thats proving to be my main attack ball.
My daughter wasn't born when I got the ball. She now 17 years old.
How old is your bowling ball, currently being used.
I do wish they would bring back the Cuda/C in the original specs

I use An American Volt (fibreglass) as a spare ball , as in the words of MC Hammer "Can't turn this" not sure how old but have been told by someone who should know 25 years old .If anyone can give me a better guess that'd be awesome.

 

[Street Racer]

proberly my sling or sharp blade, i dnt know what come out first

 

[PeterB]

Cuda/C would be mine.

I still pull out an Ebonite Excel on the odd occasion, so you'd probably class that as in current use, even though it sits on the floor in the back of Drooo's proshop somewhere.

Have a heap of old gear from the 70's-90's sitting in the next room here which is no longer used and caked in dust.

The great Faball Pink Hammer, excellent hard case dry condition ball, I currently use it for 10 pins... I'm pretty sure they came out in the early 90s... and it's still a great ball...

 

[Chowny]

Ebonite Turbo Scarlet. Gets used more often than not! still a great ball.

Oldest I have is a Ninja Fury, does not hook anymore though!

 

[taker]

The one on the right.
My mum said that the doctor pulled it out first!

 

[arakasi]

Faball 3D Super Flip
Pink Hammer

 

[Hammer]

Black Urethane Hammer 17yrs old

 

[gjelectrics1]

An old green combat zone, used during Deveer 06 and it still turned up the best out of anything in my bag of gear

 

[Carmers]

Columbia 300 Quake.

Still hits as hard as the day it first came out of the box.

AMF Black Angle, made in 1985, according to the serial number. (World's first urethane ball.) Unreal on the tumble weed conditions and you can spare with it.

I know Andrew Blissett has his eye on a Manhattan Rubber (circa 1967) on the plug rack for a spare ball, but I suspect the idea of the smell of drilling it puts him off.

Charcoal Executioner is the current oldest, but could be retired soon.

Thinking of bringing the Black Diamond back out as the spare ball. Nothing like rock hard rubber

 

[~Mrs STORM~]

X-Factor Deuce is the oldest one I am using. Not showing any signs of retiring it either.

Oldest I actually own is Storms Forest Fire. Resurfaced so many times you can hardly see the logos and serial number.

If I really need anything older, I am sure I can hunt around in the pro shop. I am sure we have a Black Diamond sitting there...UNDRILLED
