weak cover urethane or strong cored plastic
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:59:48 AM »
What would be a good ball for spares and also work for drier lanes.  Something that will carry.
I know lane #1 has a few plastic with cores .. are there any others that might work.  What urethane would be good for this?
Which one would you go with ?? Urethane or Plastic..
Or would a control drilled avalanche work. I hear they are pretty weak..

I have a hard time seeing a urethane with a core being a good spare ball, but then again, some can throw reactive dead straight at spares.

It works. I will admit there was an adjustment period for me. My old blue dot rolled dead straight, my ogre moves a little. I am having a much easier time converting the 2478 with the ogre.

I had my driller search for a used Starburst since last week was the 4th time this season that they "forgot" to check the tanks on the machine & double stripped (yes the dreaded Hudson bug sprayer) the center of the lanes without any oil applied. Minimum oil from gutter to 10 & NOTHING from 10 - 10. High on our pair was 503 (not me).
