Ball companies....please bring back the following
« on: February 28, 2005, 03:17:20 AM »
If you had the chance to play the role of a ball company president and could bring back any number of bowling balls that are discontinued, what would you bring back and why? Doesn't matter if it's rubber, plastic, urethane, resin, particle- or a combination. This can also be from current companies as well as defunct ones...

Remember the days of the original Blue Hammer that held the interest of everyone in the 80's? I also remember the fury over the original Teal Rhino Pro from Brunswick. Every college bowler had at least one in their bag in the early 90's that I remember...

Would love to see what everyone else would want the ball companies to reproduce- or are they enough core/cover combinations to get the look you desire from a new ball that reacts similar to an old standby?

since dry lanes are brutal with today's high tech. I would love to see track re-release the polyester enforcer.

in fact the shark would be good also.
