Lening using an AMF 3 Dot Classic ball. A small lapel badge was also given with the ball. Just had 3 small white dots on it...anyone still got one ?

@thiswilldoblue When I began bowling 32 years ago, peers of mine threw that ball. I have always wanted one but never got the chance to own.

Is amazing how much more fluid and powerful the bowlers of today are compared to the top bowlers of 40 years ago. Thanks for posting the videos!

It looks to me like it was the head pin that stood back up. Awful break, regardless.
