Looking for a plastic ball with a weight block
« on: September 09, 2009, 08:07:24 AM »
I am looking for a friend that has a lot of revs and needs something for when the lanes break down.  Is there a ball with a plastic coverstock and a weight block in it?

I think there are several polyester (plastic ) bowling balls with a good weightblock and some already mentioned.

I have the clear Amulet and the black XXXL.

there was also the clear Wolf, I believe it was RG who had one with a Grenade in it and I don't know the core strength of the clear Ebonite Skull ball (original) but Pchee2 used that as a strike ball quite a bit and carry was great.  I'm sure there were others but some of the older urethanes worked just as well.  The pink Hammer comes to mind.

He has a pink rhino that he has a hard time with keeping right, so I think polyester is the way to go.  Thank you all for your suggestions.

  Yes, the pink one is polyester, but some of those "COSMIC" Rhinos were pretty soft and hooked a LOT.  My son had a green one that outhooked my white dot by a mile.

  If his pink Rhino is hooking too much, he might not need much of a weightblock to get good results, as that ball only had a pancake in it ( if it really is a PINK one ).  The more friction you have to develop hook and roll, the less weightblock you need to help you do so. On a dry enough condition, even a Columbia Blue Dot will hook 20 boards ( or more ).
