    Okay so it has a layer of clear over the black. I see now, that being said.

    As for Clear shell or clear balls "get rid of them" they are disaster's waiting to happen. Everyone of them I've had something happened to it. From the Clear Wolf which had a groove carved all away round the ball to my favorite the Optyx Smiley face ball which hit something in the pit and got a chunk knocked out and shattered.

    Default Are all spare balls equal???

    So the Zombie, from DV8 is a ball nobody should get also?? It has that same clear finish right??? hummm I will talk to James about this problem, and see if I should just move on! I would guess all spare balls are the same, but is there one that is BETTER then another??

    Hey it's up to the individual! To me they are a problem, if they get damaged unless it's just very minor. you can't fix it and make it look right. ( look at yours the hole looks like it has a black eye).

    The only thing that might be worse are Viz-A-Balls, you can only sand them 2-3 times before the picture starts coming off.

    Default clear

    My Spare Tire from roto grip never gave me any problems. When it got tracked up I'd get it resurfaced and it was fine. Too bad they don't make it any longer or I'd get int in my current weight.

    No, the zombie ball does not have a clear finish. It's a Viz-a-ball like Bowl1820 said. So the image can look distorted eventually when more oil gets on/into the ball.

    These are Viz-A-Balls -- http://www.bowlingball.com/shop/viz-...bowling-balls/
