Do you keep one older ball in your arsenal at all times?
« on: May 09, 2005, 04:48:25 PM »
I was just thinking about this as I've been bowling more tournaments this year where having at least one older ball in my bag has come in handy. Do you find that sometimes the older urethane and resin offerings can smooth out the conditions you may face easier than some of the new offerings? I guess that's why I've never retired my El Nino Wrath- and I love having a Hot Wire for similar reasons...

What are some of the balls that are still in your bag for league or tournament action that may get you strange looks from other bowlers but leave you smiling when you are outpacing and outscoring the competition?

I keep my Ebonite Red Werewolf with me at all times.  Fits very well between my Animal Untamed and my Depth Charge.  Has a strong arc and crushes the pocket.  Works well on a medium-heavy condition.

I have a Roto-Grip Black Grenade I use occasionally, and an Earl Anthony Magnum 6 (antique ball), that I use for a spare ball occasionally. My friend Kyle has a Jade Pearl Piranha that he uses when the lanes get a bit dryer.

Manhattan Rubber Pro-Maker (yes, it's for spares only, but I get double-takes from  guys older than me). Other than that, the Primal Rage.

Well, my Screamr, Speed Zone and 16# fuze eliminator are all discontinued and part of my arsenal.  I guess you can count my Bruiser too, but that's not really an "old" ball.  Oh and my power groove's color (ice blue) is discontinued, and that's the ball I used for league.
