What do you use for a spare ball?

depnding on if its trny or not either a white dot that some had scratched then left on the rack... i resurfaced and is as good as new..lol or if its un sanctioned stuff its a Storm Viz-a-ball. thats used to be my primary spare ball until the white dot fell into my hands..

im currently throwing a urethane hammer at my spares, but depending on the condition, it sometimes will grab too much and chop multi pin spares, and skim past a single pin... so i have to go look in the storage building and see if i can find my Plastic Ebonite Eyeball

Well, I have only one...my Clash...so that's what I throw at spares! I'm getting a lot more of them anymore since I started really concentrating on them, and, not surprisingly, my scores have risen pretty dramatically as a result. Still, I wonder how much better I could be doing if I weren't having to compensate for the hook.

I am currently using a Ebonite Orange Maxim drilled over the label.

I had to take my Motorcycle to the lanes a few weeks ago and was only able to take 1 ball (my ICON300)
And Started useing it for picking up spares, I do better with my Strike ball then I did with my Plastic for the spares

I'm gonna stick with 1 ball now

I use a Blue Dot for spares, works pretty well when I pull my head out of my @$$ long enough to throw it properly.. lol

I use the Onyx Vibe for rt side spares & some splits..depends on oil pattern as to what I use..

I replaced the tips in my WWF Raw is WAR vizA ball and now it works better for me.
Throwing my strike ball is fine as long as I'm feeling strong.

One night during league after missing several spares I said "Well, I guess I need to get me a spare ball!". The next week a team mate gave me an old Brunswick USA VIZ-A-BALL. It ain't pretty, but I miss way fewer spares with the "straight shot". Definitely improved my game!
