Old school arsenal vs new arsenal pics

[KYDave]

Some friends and I were talking about how technology has changed so much in bowling, especially over the past few years. I thought it would be cool to take a pic of my high performance balls of old vs my newest balls I have since I've come back into bowling.

Original 1992 Columbia Beast. My first resin ball
Track NRG 1995. It was ok. Popular for about 10 min. lol
Columbia Messenger TEC 2001 I think. First particle ball
Columbia Full Throttle 2003. 2nd particle ball. Loved this one!

how do you like your trident i just ordered one it will be in tomorrow?

[KYDave]

I absolutely love it! It is my go to at one house I bowl on Sunday. Fresh 42' Stone Street pattern. My PSO has a very unique layout system, but I can tell you it is 4 3/4 from my PAP. Pin above the bridge and MB just outside my thumb. Very predictable and versatile on a lot of different shots. And she will hook when it hits friction. Give me a minute and I'll see if I can upload a video for you.

[KYDave]

Ok see if this works. It's all I could find at the moment. The first guy is my buddy and the motiv covert revolt. 2nd one is me with the trident.

Where in KY do you live and bowl Dave? I grew up in Madisonville and have bowled in a lot of places in the state.

[KYDave]

Hey a fellow KY guy! I've been to Madisonville several times when I was younger. I had grandparents that owned a lot of farm land in Muhlenberg county. I am currently in Louisville and bowl several places around the area. Mostly Kingpin and Dixie. Executive is getting ready to replace all 52 of their 37yr old wood lanes. Very interested in what they go with. May start going back there after they are finished.

Executive is a legendary place, been around for a long time. You ever get up to Cincinnati to bowl the Hoinke at Western Bowl?

[KYDave]

No. I'm not on that level yet. Just started back this summer after a 12yr layoff due to back surgery.
I do like to venture out into different centers tho. I'd like to make it up to super bowl in erlanger too.
