So what kind of ball do most of you use for spares?
« on: January 30, 2004, 09:10:28 AM »
I haven't bowled competetively for about 10 years and am trying to gather up some new equiptment to start up again.  When I quit everyone basically used the same ball for everything(atleast I did cause I was young and didn't move the ball much anyway).  So what should I pick up for a spare ball?  Just any inexpensive plastic ball?  Do most use a spare ball the same weight as their strike ball?  I ordered a 15# X-Factor Reloaded to start off with and now I just need to get a ball for the corner pins.

xxxl, for all spares, since it gives the same carry and hit power of a reactive, plus I can throw it straight.

You can always hit em hard when you've got the balls

Thanks for the awesome responses everyone I didn't expect this much help lol.  I'll probably just steal one of my dads dots from the stone age since he doesn't bowl anymore haha.

for me...

whatever I am using for my first ball and flattening out the shot...

this was how I learned growing up and is the comfy way for me....could never use a spare ball..but worth a try if you are coming back.....

Jete, you'll find if you stick around here BR(ball reviews) is dare I say...like a family. I mean not like we are all best friends, but for the most part we all get along and have fun, and help each other with our games and/or questions, or whatever you need help with. Have anymore questions, put'em up and they will get answered if someone knows the answer.
