Bowling with an AMF Gold Angle

Having a little fun with a vintage bowling ball...an AMF Gold Angle from 1984. Lanes are old wood, with the right lane being noticeably oiler than the left. Most shots are on the left lane, with a few on the right lane at the end of the video. Sorry about the focus going in and out....didn't realize auto-focus was turned on. :(

I have one of these sitting at my feet. Nice ball. I throw Urethane mostly (Columbia 300 U-Dot, Blue Hammer, Columbia 300 Shadow). I'm going to be bowling at a new center soon with medium oil and Synthetic lanes (new for me) so do you think this one is worth getting redrilled?

@Misstersack I throw mostly urethane too. The Gold Angle is a fun ball to throw, *if* the lane is fairly dry. It doesn't seem to hook as much as my other gear (blue Hammer, burgundy Hammer, Natural, or Liberator), so I don't throw it as much as I'd like. Older bowlers love seeing it though...it certainly gets attention.

Typical lefty... TUG! It's funny to see a urethane ball being called old. How about a caramel Columbia white dot, or an Amflite three dot. Okay, how about a Manhattan Rubber, or an Ebonite Tornado? Thanks for the video.

Ahh the old school 80s urethanes...Back then you had to know how to throw a hook, todays technology lets any shmuck look like Mark Roth....Cool vid thanks!
