Need spare shooting help

[billf]

I just looked. What happened to the regular plain jane, polyester Storm Ice?

It's a polar ice. I thought it was polyester, but it's actually urathane. I was not aware there was much difference between the Ice and the Polar Ice balls which the Ice is polyester. I got a Path ball over the Ice because the Ice is pearl, I don't know what that means but it doesn't sound good for spares. Anyway, I am going to get the path drilled today after work.

The path ball works waaaaay better as a spare ball than the Polar Ice. I wouldn't even call the Polar Ice a spare ball, I would call it a dry lane hook ball. The Path rolled towards it's target, never gripping on to anything, with no un predictable ball movement. What I mean by that is, the Polar Ice ball will grip if it hits dry oil, and sometimes it will hook even when the ball is rolling end over end, probably because of the three piece core.

Before I started using fingertip I use to be great at shooting spares, but I'm not that good now. I can do well shooting spares if I throw hooks at them, but I had to start shooting a strait spare ball at them now because I have to save my wrist for my strike shots. I usually bowl daily and if I throw hooks every shoot it totally kills my wrist. Up to this point I kind of just moved to a spot on the lane that looks good to me and make an attempt at the spare shots. I never really was discrete at what arrows to stand on or shoot at. This video looked interesting.

3-6-9 system works very well u can make few adjustments according to your shoulder size and any plastic ball should do well
