Post by: shelley on August 02, 2006, 04:33:45 PM: It's not comprehensive, but you could check out the PBA's Approved Equipment List (http://"http://pba.com/resources/equipmentSponsors.asp?Type=1"). Smaller manufacturers like Legends and Visionary aren't listed, nor are manufacturers that are out of business or have moved overseas like Nu-line and Revolution. But for companies that are currently registered, their list is pretty extensive.

It's not sorted by date, nor can you query by date, but if there's a certain manufacturer or ball you're interested in, you should be able to find what you're looking for.
