Bowling is a great game, but when I started I used a bowling ball from a thrift store that had someone elses name engraved on it and was beat up.

But...it was all mine and I fell in love with bowling.

How about you?

My first ball was a Manhatten Rubber with a conventional grip. Back in the early 60's thats all there was.

Mine was actually the Black Widow Venom. I know it's expensive but it is completely amazing! I have used it for my whole life and never picked up another ball ;). Its counterweight cannot be compared to anything I have ever used!
