Plastic Spare Ball-Any difference which manufacturer?
« on: January 03, 2007, 05:15:47 AM »
Looking to get a plastic spare ball for 10 pin and other single pin spares.  Does it make any difference which manufacturer?  Brunswick target zone vs columbia white dot vs. ebonite maxim vs storm spare ball.
Any opinions.

If you still flatten your release using a plastic ball there is almost no difference in any of them. If you try to throw your normal strike release on spares, you may very well see some hook more than others, although the individual weight block layout might have more to do with it than the brand  


Bob Hanson is dead on here. That is why I like the Lane 1 Red XXXL for my spare ball on corner pins. Flatten my hand and it will go straight with no hook and throw it like a hook ball when lanes get dry it wil hook some, so for dry lanes I don't need a dry lane ball as this ball serves that purpose also.

I don't think it matters.  I use a Maxim by Ebonite.  Just be careful and not get one of the everclear balls.  I have one from Hammer and it does have a weight block in it.  It hooks way too much.

Haha I have one, as for hooking too much..nah. But I do notice they tend to grab a little more than normal plastic.
