Just curious. Mine was an AMF Ultra Angle. I think I was 14 or 15 at the time.

What was yours?

First ball I owned was a Budweiser ball back in the early 80's.  Hadn't bowled again until recently.  As of a couple weeks ago, the first ball I bought for myself was a Raw Hammer Pain.  This was followed a week later by a Hammer Tuff and any day now a Raw Hammer Toxic.

First ball i ever had was a Brunswick Black Beauty when I was 7.  First ball I ever bought was a Brunswick Johnny Petraglia
If I could only bowl my weight, I still would not average 200.   But hey I still damm sexy!
