Someone I bowl with is still using their Storm Triple X-Factor from 2004. It was their only ball until 2020 when the extra hole rule went in to effect. They added a Storm Intense to their bag after they felt that plugging the extra hole on the Triple X-Factor changed the reaction too much. Now the Intense is their primary ball, and the Triple X-Factor is either used for spares or when the Intense just isn't working.
I also have a family member currently using an original Brunswick Sapphire Zone from 2003. The ball still looks and reacts like brand new despite having hundreds of games on it. It has never been resurfaced, simply cleaned after every use. They also have a Brunswick Slingshot from 2010 that is still going strong.
