Brunswick LT-48
« on: November 05, 2021, 10:56:01 AM »
In league last night, a person on the other team started using a Brunswick LT-48 in the second half of game 2 and all of game 3.  He actually did pretty well with it.  He had 4 strikes out of the last 5 frames in game 2.  Then had the front 9 in game 3 before leaving a 9 pin the first ball in the 10th frame.  It was like a step back in time and interesting to watch.

Was it an original LT-48 from the late 70s, or the Vintage LT-48 that came out in 2014?

THIS!

 Had one for years, gave it away when I quit throwing 16’s.

House here won’t let you use a rubber ball anymore, it makes black streaks on their lanes is what they claim.

I still have my rubber LT-48 my dad gave me back around 1984-85.  I dusted it off and had it re-drilled for my son a few years ago.  We stunk up the pro-shop really good when we re-drilled it, lol.  Rubber meets drill = burning tire smell.  He is a typical modern cranker style, unlike how we bowled in the 80's,  He couldn't get the ball half way down the lane without it making a left turn in the gutter.

Somebody recently used one and did well with it huh? 

Now you got me thinking of dusting it off again.  I'm in a big slump and despearate to get out of it, lol.

I have a Vintage LT-48 from 2014. I use it mostly in tournaments where there's light oil to dryish conditions.

Also have a LT-48 Gold that my father gave me. I haven't used that in forever!

This was an original LT-48.  It was his father's ball.  His father passed away last year.  He had it re-drilled and uses it from time to time in remembrance of his father.
