I need an ugly spare ball
« on: December 11, 2004, 12:46:09 PM »
I have a need for the world's ugliest spare ball.

Here's why - I bowl a bunch of tournaments where there will be 10 spare balls lying around - and I need to be able to have mine stand out.

It can't be pink - I bowl with women.

So - any ideas - links to pics - etc. 15#, plastic, cheap spare ball.

And the resurfaced vis-a-ball work well also.

You can probably pick up the angle at your local bowling center too (most have them as house balls now, you can find some pretty good ones actually)

I take offense to that... my White Dot is PINK !

Seriously, Columbia's got a few in their line that are downright butt-ugly (MHO).  This Emerald Bronze number should fit the bill.  If this one doesn't work, what about that weird Cow Print ball?

that one with the 3-4 colors....does it look like a roll of lifesavers going down the lane?

I ordered the Black/Fuscia/Blue White Dot for my spare ball...

As a huge KISS fan, I'll be buying 2 of the KISS Viz-a-Balls but if you're looking for a real ugly ball, the Revolution RevSolution plastic is what I have and it sure is ugly!

It's a shame Ebonite doesn't make my teammate's spare ball anymore otherwise it's a sure bet.

It's 3-4 non-complimentary colors in bands around the ball. It's ugly enough at rest but when he throws it, it creates this hideous hypnotic swirl effect that's just nauseating (he's a cranker with a lot of axis rotation). One of these days he's going to induce epileptic seizures in someone I just know it.

Yeah, thats the zebra... Actually, I saw a 15 pound undrilled at sports authority for 70 dollars, thought of picking it up because its a rare find, but it had a nice nick in it.
