    Sad.
    Another fan of Saturday afternoon watching the PBA tour. Faves started with Dick Weber(had the Dick Weber 5 Star bowling ball) then Earl Anthony.(then got the Earl Anthony Gyroscope ball…I think it was called)
    Still watch the PBS tours. Bowling was a huge part of my childhood as pinball.
    Started at 5 and bowled through my early 30’s in leagues. One of the questions for my High School Graduation(1977) picture was:”What are your favorite things to do?” My answer was:”Bowling, Pinball, and Cruising around.” : ) Gotta’ be others here as well!

    Quoted from jrpinball:

    Yup. The Ebonite Gyro.
    I was one of the first guys at the lanes to get an AMF Angle. It was the first polyurethane bowling ball. Costed a lusty $65 at the time, which was crazy money for a bowling ball.

    AMF Angle…was that the ball with the orange stripe going around it?

    EDIT: No it wasn’t! Just looked it up. AMF Amflite Magic Circle. The owner of the bowling alleys son had it. Only one I ever saw. If you threw it ‘correctly’ the stripe would go around straight as I remember.
