Thread: Need new spare ball. Urethane questions

    Default Need new spare ball. Urethane questions

    I need to get a new 15lb spare ball. I was just going to get the usual poly/plastic ball but read a post about using a urethane ball for that.

    So, my question is what urethane ball to get and what are the differences between regular urethane, hybrid urethane, and urethane pearl?

    Is this the solid blue/green one? There are 2 other models a hybrid and a pearl but don't know the differences.

    This is the ball Hoffman is talking about:

    The Blue/Orange & Red/Silver Mix balls seem to have identical specs to the Polar Ice ball if you don't like the black/blue color combination.

    The Ice Storm, a black silver ball is polyester.

    Any thing that storm makes with a hybrid or pearl cover would not have the pancake core, and in my opinion would not be as useful as a spare ball.

    i use the avalanche urethane pearl. Its beast on anything medium to dry for me. No problem shooting 10s even if i decide to rev it vs flattening hand out.

    Btw reg vs hybrid vs pearl is the same characteristics as it would be on a resin. A reg will read sooner and will be smoother, hybrid wont really overreact to anything, and pearl will be longer and more angular.
