Going back in time for the best bowling balls
« on: July 25, 2008, 07:26:41 AM »
I would love to go back in time and get a few balls from the past.Yes todays balls hit great  and look good.but if i had the original brunswick zone in my hands ,watch out.How abot that turbo x by ebonite.A classic but a great ball.finally the excalibur was a hard hitting ball.Whats some of your oldies but goodies.

For all the guys who mentioned the Cuda/c I've got 2 or 3 in stock in my shop, they made a small batch of them last year and I got my hands on a few of them.
And for me, I would do anything for a NIB Triton Elite.

I'm also a fan for the Cuda C both dull and pearl.

But it was a sad day when Ebonite's Reactive 8 Ball was discontinued.  Luckily we still have one NIB.

I have these NIB but don't plan on selling them or drilling them for some time. They are all 15lbs and originals.

Track Critical Mass
Track Heat
Black Hammer
Brunswick Command Zone
Track Desert Heat (not very old but hard to find)

I had a Black Turbo NIB but I drilled it last year when the lanes were real squirrelly. I shot 300 with it so urethane still works.

I would like to have:
Track Sensor II
Brunswick Command Zone Arc
Brunswick Danger Zone - Blue Pin
Champions Ultimate Weapon
Columbia Jade Piranha
Columbia Ti-Boss II

Just to name a few.

Yes, a lot of you said the original Cuda/C, but how about the red and blue Messenger and the Black Gold Messenger?  To me those 2 were great balls for the price.
