Title: Balls AMF Should Bring Back.
Post by: AMF300bowler on October 28, 2015, 11:06:28 AM: Personally, AMF needs to bring back the hybrid Shred-It. Even after all these years it is my go to ball. I'm on my third one since I went down to 15 pounds last year.

Post by: Track_Fanatic on October 28, 2015, 06:43:43 PM: I have 2 shred-it's. Love them if I can find a condition to throw them on. I also wouldn't mind the Ninja. The original black one. The other Ninja's I didn't match up with them.

Heist Solid for me ... I loved the first one so much that I bought a second one.

Post by: Bowlaholic on October 28, 2015, 11:47:36 PM: It has not been gone as long as some of the others, but I vote for the Solar Flare. I would buy many more if I could only find any (NIB or used) for sale in 15 lb.

Post by: nwilson on November 30, 2015, 12:14:43 PM: I'm trying to figure out how old my old AMF The Angle bowling ball is. The serial # is 5R2E063. Does anyone know how to tell via the serial #? Thanks.

Nighthawk!

They already came out with a re-issue of the NightHawk!! I got one as soon as they hit the market. Very good, dependable, and consistent ball!

That ball was so good looking. Wish I had punched all 3 radars.

5 the 5 would designate 1985, the R the month, so if memory serves May

Amf Kick.

I remember watching Brian Poole (R.I.P.) destroy guys with that AMF Kick off the leftside ditch. It was essentially a Solid-Superflex with a huge flip block on top and a ceramic nugget just below the center of the ball.

That ball hit like a pickup truck with two obese lumberjacks wrasslin in the flatbed.

I agree. That ball was a $70 (wholesale) monster. I miss the days of those High R.G./med-high flare 3-piece balls with aggressive covers. Yam on it, watch it skid, wait for it all in the last 10-15 feet, BANG!

I know I am dating myself here, but I remember the AMF Sumo being good back in the days of high school for me, so I would say that.

Post by: DP3 on August 10, 2017, 12:00:19 AM: Nighthawk Revenge was awesome. A Particle Pearl on the Slam Core with a puck at the bottom. It was very close in shape to the original Vortex II core.
