What Was Your First Ball?

[Bunny]

Mine was my Mom's old Black Beauty. What was yours?

:)

[Aslan]

My grandpa's Columbia 300 Blue Knight urethane. Still in the bag, only semi-retired. You'll see it Thursday!! :eek:

Although hopefully I don't throw it...because if I do....it means I left a super-crazy unmakeable split. :mad:

[Stormed1]

AMF Strikeline ( the one with the red line all around the ball. It was the first out of over a thousand

[e-tank]

My dads AMF Blue Angle

still use it for cosmic bowling

[mike_thomas93]

You know on the Bowlingball.com website, it asked this same exact question lol ;p

[mike_thomas93]

I'll still answer though. It was a Columbia Backyard Bully. I first got it when it was in donation. I used it during high school season, then I got my Brunswick Avalanche, and I loved that ball(:

[J Anderson]

Ebonite Signature, Still have it. If the pro shop was wiling I'd be tempted to have it plugged and re-drilled to use as a spare ball

[striker12]

mine was my moms old columbia ball and my dads old columbia black knight

Did it occur to you that they stole Bunny's question??

[Perrin]

Teal Rhino given to me by my girlfriends brother (later my brother in law)

My first ball was an old brown columbia white or was it yellow dot. Then I used a Dick Weber 5 Star All Pro rubber ball, still have it up in the attic.

funny I just started bowling sanctioned league 2 years ago, but I did buy a ball for recreational bowling a while back, and it was my first ball, it was a 16lb silver, messanger, Titanium! I was with my brother, and bowled a 268 my second time out with my brother! He was so blown away, that he, (( behind my back)), went up the counter and purchased a bowling pin, that had my score, and the date!
Again this was before I was even on a league, or bowled seriously! LOL I have 2 pic's showing both sides,,, the original is the side that the alley wrote the congrat's lol

Since then I have added many other scores and there date to the pin also! That was nice of my brother!

That is so cool that some of you still have your parents or grandparents bowling balls and still use them.

My Mom's Black Beauty was stolen along with my car in San Diego.

So e-tank if you see a Black Beauty with the name "SONYA" on it, grab it!!

Assuming he wasn't the one that stole it... :confused:

We went to the Saturday clinic at Fountain Bowl. I swear I haven't seen a ball other than a color coded house ball in years. I went to tuck my bag onto a shelf under the ball racks and low and behold there is an old Black Beauty staring me in the face.

It wasn't my Mom's old ball, but a weird/nice coincedence!

:)

[30 Clean]

A Christmas present of a Brunswick Black Beauty.

[DLP]

Aqua Brunswick T-Zone that was to heavy....

Backed down to a Pyramid Path that was 2 lbs lighter and while getting that drilled found my Storm Fringe

May not have been my "first" but it remains my favorite (the Fringe that is)

[Arc&Roll]

The first Ball my father purchased for me was a black AMF with 3 white dots on it. He said Bowling balls should be black lol. The first ball I purchased was a Columbia 300 white dot. In college I used a wine U dot. Back then, that was a popular ball (the white dot).

[Zaxmazr]

Backyard Bully. Still have it, things pretty much a spare all now lol

[Bunny]

We went back to Fountain Bowl yesterday and there was the Black Beauty again.

I rolled a couple of frames with it. That ball went straight as an arrow! It was hilarious!!

i think i got it when i was twelve or so. my parents might still have it somewhere.

[dnhoffman]

A hammer Razyr when I first started bowling again.

Since then I've had that, a Storm Sync, IQ Tour, & Hyroad Pearl. Also have a Seismic Dominion and a Columbia White Dot (for spares).

How are you liking the Hyroad Pearl?

[dnhoffman]

It's a good ball to compliment the line. Nice control with good snap

[cibolodave]

mine was a columbia red dot

[circlecity]

Columbia 300 white dot and then the first hammer when it came out.

[Vince805]

Mine was my dad's Rhino black/Grey and Nitro r2 :-)
