Some older equipment you miss
« on: March 07, 2010, 09:17:19 AM »
Me and some buddies were talking bowling today. We got on the subject of equipment on what were some of the older balls that we wish they would remake. I got to say I miss a lot of the older Storm equipment I used to throw. My favorites were the "El Nino Gold" the first "Trauma" and my "Eraser PBT". It just seemed like I could never do bad with those piece of equipment. What was some of the good stuff you used that you wish ball companies would release again?

Bolt Pro, Vendetta P.Pearl, Anomaly, Tidal Wave, Turbo Panther... ahh, the good old days(even though I still have a VPP & Anomaly).
I REALLY wish 900 Global would bring back the Soaker coverstocks. I miss my Thing & Zr40 and the rest of them.

Another vote for the Trauma here, or just a ball with Accu-Tread Pearl and a strong symmetrical core!

Others: Fuze Eliminator, Danger Zone, TPC Shooter, (black) Pure Hammer
