I know it's kinda old or antique, but I was wondering if anybody used or know what kind of ball is this:
"AMF Classic Pro-roll"
This was embedded into the ball with 3 white dots. Also, a "buddy" word is embedded too. Pure black and it weighs around 15 to 16lbs. I already googled it but didn't find anything.
If you know this, can you provide me the following info:
This ball belongs in a museum.If I remember it may be a rubber ball which was great when the lanes had a laquer finish.Lanes are now finished with urethane on wood or are synthetic .This ball would have little or no grip.Urethane or Reactive resin balls are the way to go these days.This ball would not be worth having it plugged and redrilled to fit you.The BUDDY you refer to is Probably someone's name that was engraved in it.If I can find any info I'll update this. UPDATE: www.cjproshop.com They actually still have an old undrilled one for sale.Contact them for more info ,they should be able to provide answers.

"Excerpt from the book..."This book fills a gap about just how boy seamen were trained at the endof the nineteenth century. From first to last it is very credible, andalso very readable. It was not very easy to transcribe, because theboys we meet come from a variety of country places, and hence have avariety of dialects...
The National bowling Hall of Fame has three museums located in St. Louis, Missouri. These are the (PBA) Professional Bowling Association, (WIBC) Women's International Bowling Congress, and the (ABC) American Bowling Congress; they display historical memorabilia of interest to bowling icons as well as the history of bowling.
The museum was formally opened on June 2, 1984, and exhibited many displayed historical materials and records of events that have been compiled by the ABC since 1932. In 1972, the ABC and the WIBC housed the displays in the Bowling Headquarters in Greendale, Wisconsin as a temporary home. By the year 1979, the two associations ventured, together with the help of AMF Incorporated and Brunswick Corporation, with the (BPA) Bowling Proprietors of America to find a permanent location for the museum.
The National Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum contains the records and profiles of bowling icons of the sport. One of the great bowlers that left their marks and are considered to be the best that ever played bowling includes Marshall Holman who is considered the first ever bowler to reach $1.5 million in earnings. He made his name as the best bowler in the 1980's, where he won more than 20 tournaments including record breaking performances in 1982 and 1984 by setting the highest scoring averages of the PBA tournament.
Another bowler to be named to the hall of fame is Nicole Gianulias. She was the first woman to sweep all four 800 series of the (LPBT) Ladies Professional Bowling Tournament when she was only a rookie. She also recorded 18 tournament championships and was named bowler of the year in 1986.
Mark Roth was the most dominant and consistent bowler in the late 70's, when he was named bowler of the year for three consecutive times in the years of 1977, 1978, and 1979. He also added recognition in 1984 when he swept every single opponent and eventually won the championship. He was also named bowler of the year during that time.
Donna Adamek conquered women's professional bowling by posting a record of five major titles between 1978 and 1981. She was named women's bowler of the year for four straight years; set the record for having the most championships won by a female in those years; and was the most dominant in the women's division.
