alright one of my roommates has an original blade...he is left handed and has had this ball for about 4-5 years...its pretty much the only ball he throws, it prob has over 10000-15000 games on it, he just got a toxic and black widow and he refuses to throw them cuz he doesnt want to get rid of his blade...im trying to figure out wut to do wit that ball, maybe just hide it, or say it cracked and just get rid of it...lol...idk...neone ever have a ball with that many games on it that they still use...i have a 3d hammer with that many games but its retired...lmk ur opinions

it rolls great on house patterns but now that he is in college the ball just doesnt do nething for him, and he still wants to throw it, thats the only problem

Some older balls are pretty good. After all, Norm Duke won the tournament sunday with a Storm Fired Up which was released in April 2005. He may not have played that many games with that particular ball but it shows that the latest high performance balls are not necessary if you have talent. Of course ordinary league bowlers don't have Norm's talent but they play on much easier oil patterns. I myself bowl with a Danger Zone that has about 1300 games on it and my average is 205 on THS.
