What was your first ball?
« on: August 19, 2003, 01:53:00 AM »
Mine was an old black and red swirl Brunswick that my grandfather left to me.  I don't know the name, but it will always be with me for nostalgic purposes.

Is there help available?

A Brunswick Mark Roth Urethane ball that I bought back in 1991.  I still use it too.  For my game, this is the best ball.  I just got it repaired, had some cracking near the finger holes.  I plan on using this ball until it cracks in half.  LOL.

Cool! My first ball & first 200 was with a grey ebonite maxim too. I was about 10 at the time as well.

My first ball was a Columbia Cuda 2000.  I hated this ball, but I still keep it around with a ton of polish on it for toasted conditions.

My first ball was a 10 lb. peach White Dot (there's a shocker)

I rolled my first 200 game with it.  200 on the nose.  Ahhh, the memories...
