Thanks for all the help guys. Back when urethane first came out, I got the nickname "Plasticman" because I wouldnt let go of my old blue, white, and yellow dots. I used to love the old polyester balls, and didnt switch to urethane until the mid 1980's when oil volumes got decent.
Then, along came short oil, and I went back to my white dots, until the pso talked me into a Pink Hammer, and I fell in love. Bowled with it for a long time, but screwed up and sold it. My son found me another one at a flea market (of all places) and got it for me. I aint letting this one go!
But, I switched to lighter weights years back, and Pinkie is a heavy 15, almost 16, and I hurt after throwing it for three games. I need something in the light 15, heavy 14, range that doesn't hurt my hand after three games.
I've tried some other "modern" urethanes, but with little success. Missed out on my chances to try the Taboo spare or the True Blood, but saw others doing ok with them. But, after all the "hype" about how you can't compete unless you're using resin, I guess it got into my head. I got over that finally, and am ready to explore my other possibilities finally.
Short of somebody coming out with the Pink Hammer shell on a more dynamic weightblock, I think a polyester with one is my next best shot. (Yes, I also missed the Visionary urethane Gargoyle. 😡)
I think there is a Spare+ in my future.
