Title: FAV AMF Ball??
Post by: C-G ProShop-Carl on August 11, 2003, 08:30:13 AM
I am thinking in terms of all time.

I think my favorite AMF ball was the NightHawk Menace.

Smooth breakpoint and excellent pin action.

Fav from AMF is the Slam, great ball for drier conditions, and/or the Night Hawk Revenge (still trying to sell). Revenge was an ideal house ball for me 2 years ago. Still tend to pull it out on rare occasions (the ol' bring it out of retirement theory).

If I could only pick up a 7 pin.....

King Cobra...love that ball..still have it, but trying to get it fixed, the core has separated from the coverstock.

Stealth Bomber - Bonanza Pearl Pulse
The Wood Chipper - Black Buzzsaw/C
The Fish - Piranha Retro
Pastel Killer - Icon

Yes...I name my bowling balls...and as you can see those names are real original...so if you have any suggestions on what a better name would be, please let me know!

Florida State will be back...as soon as Chris Rix learns how to throw a spiral, use an alarm clock, and hang on to the ball...but they will be back.

Nighthawk Pearl Torque. Best ball I have used on a tube shot or a walled up shot from 20-25.

I shot my first 700 with the Hawk but the Menace is definately my favorite out of 3 AMF balls I've used.  The coverstock was so versitile and the reaction was so smooth.

Yep.

Still works great on a moderately light condition.  Still hits with that sharp, cracking sound.  Still has that peculiar knack for carrying the 10 pin--noted even in the original BTM review.

Night Hawk Menace was a pretty good ball, but I would have to say that the Bone XS is BY FAR my favorite AMF ball. Actually, I had two and loved 'em both.

I've only owned two, the 3 dot and the Victory, both great balls for their respective eras.

The Victory is undoubtedly the strongest ball I've ever owned.  It makes a great one-two punch with the Pro Purple.  When the oil starts to carry down, and the Purple has trouble finishing strongly, just move a few boards to the left and throw the Victory on basically the same line.  Works great!
