Were Crown Jewels plastic?  That's what I use for spares, a gold one.

I have a columbia blue dot that rolls straight as an arrow. I was told the coverstock is very hard so the ball just glides across the lane. It hits kind of hard too

Columbia Blue Dot

Ebonite Maxim

I had a Blue Dot, but now have an XXXL.  Pin under bridge, CG just a little right, so I guess you could consider it label.  It's for spares, but I do use it for strikes when it's super dry and even weak resin won't get through the heads.  I use it for all my spares, double wood included.

I also have a Blue Hot Flame.  Weak resin, 4 piece weight block, not much more than a pancake.  Pin under bridge, CG just a little right, not even close to needing a weight hole.  Slate Blue Gargoyle, pin over bridge, CG just a little left, no weight hole needed.  The simple stuff still has a place.

I used a Target Zone for a while, it actually had a tendency to hook up on me a little bit which is why I have a White Dot being plugged and redrilled as we speak.

pink target zone.  It is so important when shooting spares on sport or in dry.

I use a Maxim green sparkel. If it matters, its pin in, so pin and cg are on topp of eachother. Pin and cg in palm. Hooks enough when i need it, goes straight when im making it do it . I converted the 4-7-9 with it today ;P
