he loved the "get ten ball" ball back in the day(not sure if he used it when he bowled pba,70s and 80s)

btw do pba tour players still end up throwing balls out their cars on the highway still?
 as my ex pro teammates remember happening all the time back in the day....he(in the 70s,80s)..her(early 90s)

HOW SHOULD I DRILL THIS TO HOOK OUT OF DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!(jk)

Yeah, I saw that auction.  If it would have been a 16, I'd have been all over it.

The one I see there is 15.14.  Unfortunately, Brunswick was using decimal values for gross weights back when the GTB was being made, so that's "15 point 14," not 15 pounds, 14 ounces.  

I'll keep looking, though.

teammate threw it tonight...avg. 230 with it.  One of the most fun nights ive seen him have in a long time bowling.

drilling it was an adventure...1/2oz side 1/2 oz top

the ball is so hard that it would stop the drill, stink up the whole shop, started to catch the carpeting on fire(from the heat of the rubber flying off the drill bit)

did gtb mean "get ten ball" or "god throws brunswick"?

Same thing happened when I put holes in my Crown Jewel, possibly the worest smell to come out of that shop. The bit was was giving dirty looks afterwards. I think the hardness on those things are like 300

funny you say that....the day before(according to the shop guy) he was drilling a crown jewel and it did the same thing and blew the breaker for the drill press.

i mean people from the front desk were walking in asking if everything was alright!
