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.

Does it really matter?

My spare ball is an old hard Columbia Blue Dot. It belonged to my son when he was 13 years old. He is now 43 so I guess that makes my old BD 30 years old. Been redrilled a couple of times, but still goes straight as a stick!

Oldest ball I still use is my Rhino Pro Copper X on my league that puts a very light wall shot up.  It's the only ball I can keep from hooking too much, which works pretty well- I shot 808 this year already with it.
