Thread: found a ebonite crush/r at the thrift store

  1. #1

    Default found a ebonite crush/r at the thrift store

    While browsing for work pants at the thrift store today, with limited success, because apparently not too many others wear my size. But anyways, while browsing I always look around the store for random stuff. Well, the 'sporting goods' section coughed up a nice bowling ball, to be exact the crush/r. Fast forward, pay 4 bucks for it. It's of course been drilled, weighs 14.5 lbs (after a pro shop visit, i found out the weight). My guy at bowling iq let me know he can fix it up for 30 bucks. But he said to do up the league in September and see where i'm at before i pay for a ball to be done that may become irrelevant in my arsenal. So I just threw it tonight with a conventional grip and slightly oversize finger holes, and liked how it performed on PBA Cheetah no less. Had a good run with my regular arsenal included another 500+ series with a high game 199.
