who uses a spare ball with a core?
« on: October 08, 2015, 12:01:26 PM »
I'd like to stay within my A game, but with the urethane I have now, I'm pushed away from the pocket in my second shift league. I have a white dot that I can sand down, but I remember seeing spare balls with cores. (I don't follow bowling balls new releases like I used to)

What spare ball with cores do you use and does it really help when the track gets really toasted?

Does a round object have sides? I say yes, pizza has triangles..

I have a Taboo Spare that I have used for the conditions you describe.  Closest thing, now, would be a Track Spare+.  I have the mass in a strong position so there is a more noticeable difference in oil than a 3 piece but on pure dirt the difference to me is not as noticeable.

I have an old Visionary Amulet.  Plastic with core.  I've used it on occasion as a strike ball.  Not good if it hits any oil though.  For spares, I can convert many sleeper type leaves like 2-8, 2-4-5-8 (and similar combos), and most of the 3-9 combos with this ball by going straight up at them.  Not sure if it is any better than a typical WD as I don't use one to compare to.
