For my many years as a league bowler my strike ball was also my spare ball . Just flattened it out for spares .

[martinboyd]

As a lefty who likes to play the gutter, I have used plastic a lot on dry house shots, have had a 287 with a t-zone and a 279 with a maxim .

I certainly love my Black Widow resin, but a plastic stock Widow just feels wrong... but it looks so right!!! great work with that layout, seems you got it to do exactly what you wanted! #ROADTO60K Good luck!

[pbatommy]

You make every ball look good. I once had to use my TZone as a strike ball on very dry lanes.

Start with the Mix, sometimes have to finish with the Ice. A few weeks back the Mix was hooking too much during practice, so I went with the Ice for all 3 games and shot a low 700. Can't control resin, plus I don't like standing way left and pushing it right. Much more comfortable playing more right. I've been interested in plastic with a core for a little flare, but it wouldn't surprise me if I struggle to control it!

I bowled my one and so far only 300 game with my Brunswick Laser plastic spare ball from the 90s. (This was in January 2022). Lanes were super burned up and it was reading perfectly.

I have used my plastic ball as a strike ball and with the first game with it was 230 on the burn. It was a Geico plastic ball that you would see the pro bowlers like you ( my favorite 2handed Lefty) using on tour in the early 2000's. When I got it I sanded it to 1000 trucut with the trucut sanding pads from creating the difference and I fluff it like I do with my faball urethane balls.

I have the Old Black Widow Spare and The Spy from Radical... They're pretty much interchangeable, I lean a little towards the Spy personally though.. I tell myself the Fleck particles in the cover and having dynamicore makes a difference, but who knows

[kroycewicz]

Surprised you haven’t done this yet, it’s been out for quite some time, my buddy has one. Great vid Packy

[bobbybooey]

LOLOL slapping and running it out on first shot out the box. Pure Packy classic moment right there. 425+ for 2 with a plastic ball is rather amazing. I like the way it looks. I do not own a spare ball. I try to break my wrist and throw it straight at the hope it works lol. You make using a plastic ball for strikes look way to damn easy

[jessnicholascenterfireecon]

I still have an old Lane #1 XXXL Starburst, which was plastic over the symmetrical Diamond core those balls originally came with when Brunswick made them. I used to occasionally use it when the lanes were fried --- and then there was that one time I used it at Nationals for what ended up being my second-highest game of the tournament that year. Yes, that means I struggled just as much as you think I did.

[samuelpancake]

Yep it's my spare ball but with old wood lanes that have no oil it's a good ball for that

[jhill]

I throw a high rev finger tip ball and these dry lanes been killing me! I also was a flatten the wrist to throw your spare guy also. So I bought this Vis- A ball to start being more consistent with spares and out of frustration with dry lanes I started throwing it as my strike ball and started doing ok! Its not drilled to hook though and I have been trying to use my thumb in the ball to keep it from going Brooklyn. So I was gonna buy another one and drill it to hook but decided on the Spy.

[loridheath]

Yes, I have used my Widow spare as strike ball especially when the lanes are toast and I am bowling on the burn. It has worked well. Stays in my bag. Mine is drilled pin in between the ring fingers.

[baseball_rocks]

Yeah I once threw my friend's storm basketball plastic and went 248 with it. It was 3rd game and the lanes were completely burnt with 10 to a pair. Went right up 10 to flush the pocket almost every ball.

[feddyvonwigglestein]

Used my Mix on 36' Viper two weeks ago in my last game in the tournament I was at. Was my best look, as it turned out..

[garydiamond]

So which did you like better for strikes the widow plastic, or the spy?

[igoramaral]

How does it compare to the spy? Seems a little cleaner

[MidnightDolphin]

I've used my spare ball as a challenge, but I haven't HAD to use it.
Random thing, I watched Keven throw the first shot of the Missouri State team event (or whatever they called it lol). He threw on my lane too, I was very happy the rest of the day lol

[Bdawgx]

I have a phaze 4(15) and a raw hammer(13) both are strike balls but my raw is used for spares I just lower revs and straighten it out down lane.
