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.

Oldest ball I use is something called a Hi-Nek Deluxe.  Found it sitting on my pro shop guy's floor, single drill.  It's old black rubber, and I can't info on it even with the great google search.  It's my spare ball in a few houses where I don't want to throw my crystal blue diamond.

I have a Blue Hammer in my tournament Arsenal.  I am thinking about using it all the time in leagues as well.

I think the oldest ball I use is my Columbia 300 Game. It is my favorite ball, and still handles the most oil. But the bridge is really messed up, and I know it is most likely going to crack very soon.

And the approximate date of release is 2001

Brunswick Rhino Pro LE, still one of the strongest balls I've ever owned.  Also, sometimes use my original Columbia Pulse
