House balls hurt my thumb. Edges are too rough. I have thumb slugs that are beveled out to my liking in all my balls. Very soft on the thumb.

Exactly I can't throw a houseball anymore either. I tried like 2 months ago when my finger insert flew out of my backlash never to be seen again. Fit issues and just couldn't throw it right.
I used just my spare ball a couple of times mostly if i get fustrated (very rarely nowadays). Once in awhile if I have a date ( cause chicks love that cosmic bowling) I show up with just that cause it glows, their drunk, and I look cool to them (girls not in the know). lol

House balls....... drilled to fit 50 people and have hundreds if not thousands of games on them.....leave 'em on the rack !
Spare balls........ when all else fails.....pul it out and use it. In most cases on burned lanes they'll hook just the right amount !

You can use whatever ball you that you think will create more strikes. I know there were times where I've used my plastic ball and threw better strikes, than my strike ball. I just felt like I wasn't fully utilizing my $250 ball, so instead of using the better ball (plastic) to throw the strikes, I stuck with the more expensive strike ball to TRY and manage to throw strikes![]()
