I know that, as far as equipment is concerned, AMF is/has been only a subsidiary side line company for a few years now, but it wasn't always this way.
I remember the days when Dick Weber Powerballs and 5 star models were right at the top of the game. I remember the first time I saw a Black ANGLE (and how much I thought I wanted one), and when that ball was the winningest ball on tour.
I remember them making some of the first balls that ever flared on purpose, the Angle+ and the Ultra ANGLE. They were even in the forefront of the asymmetric movement when they released the XS.
Now, they seem little more than a curiosity, a footnote in bowlings history book, a "red headed stepchild" to kick around.
Anybody think they'll ever be back, or just end up as a testing grounds for the big brother?
