Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute here. This may be better for a different thread but I'm sure this has been around for a bit so it's likely old news. I just looked up that Pitch Black on Bowlingballs.com to check it out and under the specifications for this ball it said "Fragrance" it listed none. I know that urethane has a distinct smell especially when you sand or scuff it but something tells me that's not what they are talking about. Are you telling me they make balls with particular scents like all these candle wax cubes my wife buys? Why in all things that are holy would such a thing even exist? I know I've bowled with some guys with some serious BO problems but I doubt a "April Fresh" bowling ball would help that. Might as well stick a Bounce dryer sheet in your bowling towel when you wipe the ball. LOL Wow, of all the gimmicks..... have ball sales really gotten so bad to where they had to do this? Some bowling shirts that smell like banana for all the sweaty gorillas out there I can see, even scented odor eaters for shoes but bowling balls seriously? It's hilarious!

My apologies, it just caught me off guard. I've been all over this forum and haven't seen mention as of yet. I guess next time I'll search first before posting about it. Back to our regularly scheduled programming regarding spare balls.
I use the typical pancake block polyester. I get way too much hook with urethane.
Averages: Right (THS):215 | Left (THS):175 | Sport:166 |High Game:300 | High Series:815
Arsenal: Storm Tropical Storm, 900 Black Ops, Motiv Tank
I've used both, I had an old Manhattan Urethane that I started using as a spare ball. If I got a bit slow with my speed, it would hook. The polyester is much more forgiving, if I throw it slower, or hit up on it, it usually doesn't affect the ball motion that much.
Style: Power Stroker/Tweener - 16.5 - 17.5 mph, PAP 4 1/2 x 0
In the bags:
Retooled with 15 lb equipment.

I have two balls for the purpose. A Columbia White Dot and a Storm Natural Pearl. The Storm is urethane with a decent core in it. During league play with fresh oil it doesn't move much when going for end shots. If the lanes are dry, the Storm can move well enough to be a strike ball and then the White Dot gets used for end shots.
The Natural Pearl is out of production as far as I know, I lucked into it in the used rack at the local pro shop. It's been great. I picked up all six ten pins I had to roll at last night, so clearly if I do my part it does its.
this is my spare ball http://www.gebhardtsbowling.com/bowl...r-bowling-ball
any idea if "High Density Bullet Core" is the same as a pancake block?

is that indicated anywhere? I am just trying to make sure I can identify because I am helping a couple people in my league get their first balls / first spare balls
