One of the kids in the junior program needs a spare ball. Instead of buying one, I told him I'd dig something out of the basement. I never threw it, but I've heard that as far as polyester goes, the yellow dot could move. Should I try and find something "less" or should this serve his purpose?

A guy was using one last night as a spare ball. It was well polished, and went straight as an arrow, even when the lanes got really dry (by todays standards, that is...)
Go for it.

Thanks for the replies. I figured if he threw some polish on it would work, but never hurts to double check. So that's one ball donated, umpteen to go.

I've been using a dullish Lane#1 XXXL(plastic also)nd loving it on synthetics compared to my white dot which on a 1/2 board miss.....bloop in the gutter! It skidded so much in the heads!

The three smooth consistent boards of hook I get with the XXXL is fantastic.

Similar to a yellow dot in my opinion!

REgards,

That's an interesting philosophy. Untrue, but interesting.

That's a good one! I'll have to remember that, for use with my more gullible friends.

I'm still using mine as a spare ball too, works perfect with or without polish but for sure better with a good shine. Bought it in 84 when it was the hottest ball going

Make sure to ask at the same time as you inquire about whether they are exhaling or inhaling when they release the ball
