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

What was yours?

16 lb red wolf pearl ball rolled great sold it off when i went to 15 lb's, i have tried to find nib deals on the 15's with no luck. I have a 15 lb timberwolf still but not as good of a ball for me overall.
