one note ebonite, Columbia, hammer and track are made in USA, last spare I bought was storm polar ice and it is made in China. that disappointed! I think tzone is made in Mexico. next spare for me will be white dot
spares balls other than storm is a much better choice. I've owned many spare balls, from rubber to clear balls, and the ice balls (2) didn't last too long. The best spare ball I got was a rubber ball I found for $5 at a thrift store. BLACK BEAUTY by brunswick.
Today, a C300 with a black dot lol is what I use. I also have a XXXL lane #1 with a diamond core for 911... lol
T-zones and EBO brands are the way to go..
I never understood why bowlers throw a bullet for one pin....
I use Storm Mix which is a Pearl Urethane with a standard pancake core which is almost no different than a plastic ball except urethane won't crack. Although it was made in China and not the US factory.

This thread is helping me a lot. I've been thinking about adding a spare ball because I really struggle with the 10 pin. I like the idea that the Track Spare+ has an actual core.
Artic Sniper by Motiv is a good choice but will cost you a little more.
