    yes you can get this ball to hit 10 pins but if you have a high rev rate and slower speed you will have to be more behind the ball but if your a slower speed and low rev bowler then you can get this ball to easy hit those 10pins.

    Yes that White Dot is a perfect spare ball with the pancake weight block and the
    polyester/plastic cover as it is the perfect 10 pin ball and is a close match to your
    Hammer Nail. Another spare ball you might want to consider is the Brunswick T Zone
    polyester/plastic cover ball that is what I use for all of my single and double wood
    spares.

    This one looks nice

    Do they all have the same innards and reaction and just the design is different?

    now im thinking i might get the taboo spare just because of the colors on it but i already got a spare ball that i only ever use throwing at 10pins and 7pins and some splits would be nice to have the taboo spare because of alittle hook because of my spare shots i do miss to the right so alittle hook would not be that bad for me.

    Yes I think that any T-Zone would have the same core and just the color scheme would differ.

    100% correct all T-Zones have the same pancake weight blocks inside
    they just have different color schemes.

    I like the way the WD looks. Any difference?

    Are any spare balls different or just the same?

    How about the cover stock and finish and grit? Are they all pretty much the same too?

    That Taboo looks interesting.
