    Thanks!

    Ill try to get a vid for you this weekend. I kinda wet the bed in that last game, very very rarely miss a spare. Just getting used to this ball and the proshop guy said this will hook a lil more for a bit since its new and not worn.

    That was a very nice find I had one of those Columbia U 300 balls when they first came out it was
    a fantastic ball back in the day even bought a matching shirt to wear when bowling with it. I still
    have the shirt and the ball if I remember correctly going to check and see if I still have it also back
    in a second.

    Yep checked my retired ball room and I still have the ball also but I do believe it has seen its better
    days I'm afraid, as it does have some nice big deep gouges in the track area.

    nice got_a_300 but that sucks how your ball has got some gouges in is my black widowhas the same thing and it will cost more money to get it fixed then to just get a new ball but it has seen those good days and it has seen the end.

    once i do get some balls that im good with and having good games with im going to take the black widow up and get it fixed and put it on a shelf to put it away for awhile
