Oldest ball you have that you STILL use?
« on: November 20, 2008, 04:38:35 AM »
There's been alot of posts lately about how many balls one buys a year, etc.  Granted I've bought some new ones this year, but I have 5 others that I still have a great use for. The "oldest" one I still use is a Track Mean Machine.  It was released 7/06.

AMF Ninja Master. I also have a Galaxie 300 spare ball from 1980 but that hasn't been in the bag now for a couple of months.

i have found use for my el nino 2000 (feb 2000) green gargoyle (feb 2000---traded for it in 2001) and reaction roll (june 2001). i bought both the el nino and reaction roll within a few months of release.  in one specific house (now closed due to flooding) i used a purple zone pro (feb 1999-- bought that summer).

Haven't used my Col.Flipside Wicked in a couple of months. Used my Col.Spirit
at the Hoinke last weekend. Breakout my Hammer Reaper 2 when I need a particle pearl. But usually I start out with the U-Turn Prl. then go to the Smokin Inferno (white pin).
