Yes. And I agree with you on all the points you made except one. IF a person is going to have an ARSENAL....or more than maybe 1-2 balls....then they should understand bowling ball specifications. Since I don't feel 85% of bowlers need arsenals...we are in agreement that 85% of bowlers don't need to know what an RG is. However...where we disagreed was that you thought arsenals were perfectly fine for casual bowlers yet didn't see the need for said casual bowlers to understand ball specifications. I feel that it's either one or the other. If you're at the level where an arsenal is of value...then knowing ball specifications is of value. If you're not interested in ball specfications, then you are mis-using your "arsenal" or at least not using it to it's optimal level.
Agreed?

As far as plastic spare balls is it better to have something like a white dot or tzone or something like hammer true blood that is still plastic but has the first blood core?
The True Blood, while plastic is designed to have flare, which increases hook potential.
The goal of a spare ball is to not have it change direction just before it gets to the pins.
I'd say go with a White Dot, T-Zone, or Maxim.
Plus they are less expensive than the True Blood.
I still think that the urethane Blue Hammer ball is a good spare ball. With the right surface and layout it can be your spare ball or your strike ball on a THS pattern.

Gotta agree with Mike here. Not only do I think bowling ball to bowling ball is rather insignificant…DEFINITELY plastic to plastic is ridiculously unimportant. You can throw a Hello Kitty Vis-a-Ball or any other solid, round, chunk of plastic…the whole point is when throwing a plastic ball it shouldn't matter what it is.
