Sounds good to me; remember that the dark colors hook more than the lighter ones. Dark blue and black are the bigger hooking, more even reacting balls.

cover stock weighs about as much as bark; they put the same pour on all weights of bowling balls so to answer your question, no

Is that really? Why is that?

I've been told that you'd get a more consistant reaction from a single color ball than multi-color ball, and that a single color plastic ball is 'straighter' than a multi-colour one..... are they all true? Or just urban myth?

Thanks!

Has to do with the chemical properties of the resin, I presume. You'd have to ask a resin chemist for the technical explanation. It just is.

Back in the 1970s, when the first White Dots came out, different colors did have different hooking properties. I assume that was based on the chemistry of the polyester and the friction between it and the finish on the maple and pin wood of the lane surface. But it was definitely true.
