2 balls of same color?

How do you tell them apart? I keep delaying the game by not knowing that ball is which. Can you use a pro shop crayon?

Will expand arsenal after I polish my spares.

This guy's threads o_O
Is he for real? :P

Anyway, you know which ball is yours because most likely the holes in the ball that isn't yours will be quite diffrent ;)
And if you still struggle with finding your ball, get your PSO to give you colored holes. On my Grudge and Freak Show I have green thumbholes.
It was what the PSO had, didn't choose them because I struggle with finding my balls. My fingers are much smaller smaller than most I bowl with.

Spit in your thumbhole. Then you can just feel for which one is slimy.

around here, the hyper cell-skid was a very popular ball. on any given league night, it was normal to see 3-5 on the rack at a time. the way i always was able to decipher mine was A) my interchangeable thumb slug is purple. and I don't use inserts.

Put a dab of your girlfriend's finger nail polish right in the middle of your grip on the "strike ball" and nothing on your spare ball. 

After that all you need to do is recognize which T-Zone is the strike ball and which is for spares.

Two assumptions there.
1- The girlfriend
2- She is refined enough to know about cosmetics and such.

This is a problem for the ages. You should quit and take up golf.

Could be the first to carry 14 putters in the bag.
