ok I have one of the Turbo X by ebonite in my basement as well as a Ebonite Wildcat and a Ebonite Thunderbolt.  My dad still cast a Columbia Black Knight and a 14 lbs Ebonite Straight Shot.  One of my uncles still hooks the whole lane (when he bowls) with A Columbia 300 Rock STAR!!! Could go on for days about old bowling balls and new ones!!!!!!!!!!!

Storm Lightning Flash

It scares me a little that I still have some of the balls people listed stored in my basement.  I must be a pack rat.
