I have a teammate who possesses several urethane balls which are his go to balls regardless of lane conditions. I normally attempt to play left or right of his intended line but was thinking of another option. Has anyone attempted to attack lanes with a stronger (either asym/sym) resin ball playing same line as urethane teammate.
-
Have a word with him about playing 10 as a breakpoint then play 8 yourself.
That should give you both the best of both worlds. Hold for you and a bit of miss outside for him.
It’s always better to work together as team mates rather than “combatting†his choices.

What I would do is taking something stronger with a little surface and move inside of him. That is what the pros tend to do and best bet for house shots. That way you can still have recovery from 5 while he creates hold in the track area. At the end of the season consider moving on from him as a teammate if it bothers you that much but in a way that it does not create tension. If he approaches you, just say you are keeping your options open and leave it at that.

You can try a 2in pin symmetrical and possilby play where he is--it is an option.
