Taboo Spare versus True Blood versus Spare Plus versus pancake
« on: February 23, 2015, 07:56:24 PM »
How do these balls compare to one another? How does a regular plastic ball with a PBA plastic ball layout compare to these? I have a Taboo Spare that has finally had enough.

I currently have a True Blood for spares and toast, and I like it a lot, and so far, no cracking. Before that I had a Belmo spare ball, and a Spare Tire, and they both cracked around the thumb and fingers, mainly because I track fairly high on my normal equipment, and even higher on the spare balls(I hear them thump on occasion).

Tracking over a hole is a great way to form cracks.

For myself, I got lucky an found a XXXL on ebay.  No cracking in 6 years.  My teammate has the hammer one.  No cracking issues.  Loves it on the toast.

Both work well and carry well when toast appears.

I have both true blood and spare plus.  Spare plus doesnt move even on toast. My true blood hooks on toast and hits like a tank. Had a 298 with it last year And its great for spares as well. My vote is true blood. My true blood i cut the cover inhave it at 2000 abralon.

I also have a True Blood sanded down to 2000. Great for playing down and in. I went and bowled 7 games today using only my True Blood. Pretty darn good results considering it was the typical Friday crappy lane condition day.  I may try and use it again during my Sunday league since it is somewhat dry.
