I've been using the Storm Mix urethane ball for quite a while. I originally began using my old Brunswick Black Beauty 16 lb. ball as my spare ball when I came back to bowling again. A couple of years later I thought I'd try a lighter ball and bought a White Dot. Used it for a season or so and decided that it somehow didn't feel right. Also, noticed that it was getting a bit scratched up. Then I bought a Storm urethane ball without a weight block, just the pancake. I've used it for years now and it's held up much better. Tended to like it as it hugged the edge of the lane a little bit and kept it out of the ditch on 10 pins every now and then.
Just recently I bought a 14 lb. Mix and asked the PSO to add a half oz. of side weight on the left to help keep the ball straighter. It did exactly what I was hoping for. This ball is jet black, shiny, straight and plan to use it for years to come. I'll not use it on any surfaces that I'm not familiar with or on wood lanes. It should last as long as I'm still able to bowl. Done buying spare balls... Now the only thing I'll have to do is perhaps polish it up every now and then and change out the finger grips, too...
