Drilled this ball up back in August to use as my spare ball. Sanded the ball to 2000 siaair because it was very slick OOB. Ball has worked great on spares which was the purpose.


Ball is also very playable on most of the house shots I have practiced on. Usually able to find a line playing somewhere around 1st arrow, and usually inside of that between first and second arrow pretty consistently.

In this short video the ball hasn't had any adjustment to surface since drilling and has plenty of lane shine at this point. With fresh surface the ball can pickup nicely.

This is something I work on during practice getting warmed up, and thought I would share since there has been some discussion on plastic here and there. Also like to bowl a few games for score using only plastic whenever possible.

interesting. I've bowled some longer tournaments, like 7 and 8 games and once it gets deeper into the set everything becomes toast.

I don't like solid urethane for this b/c it picked up too early.
Have a storm supernatural which can be useful, if there is an outside shot, but it it starts to hook will not carry playing deep inside. Plastic may be way to go for the total burn.
And I do think it can help to have these for practice. Especially is playing sport shot and want to practice short oil patterns on the houseshot. It's a way to get used to playing outside line

i have been doing the no thumb this last season, i am looking for a spare ball
that i can also use as strike ball on light to dry house conditions.
i dont yet have the ball speed to keep ball from hooking to soon, my
best look has been with a storm mix, will the track spare + hook a little if
i just try to play up the 7-8 board and go thru the pins cause it has core vs
a other plastic ball?
thanks
