  • As someone who primarily uses a reactive ball to shoot my spares, I practiced for a very long time at flattening my wrist. While I do have a spare ball and several urethane balls, I do really want to try shooting my spares with a urethane, and not just a urethane covered spare ball (Storm Mix)

  • I use a Brunswick T-Zone for straight shooting, because it doesn't react on the lane at all the way I roll it. It also keeps me from having to worry about changing my release. That said, I don't like how it feels compared to the rest of my arsenal, so I may switch to a Mix or urethane.

  • Personally I use the Roto grip spare tire ball for majority of spares. I have recently started using urethane a bit for some, as well. The spare tire, I can tell by the roll if it came off my hand properly, so it’s helped in consistency that way. Just started bowling a year ago and my average after summer league was a 159 within USBC. Currently in my league, after getting the spare tire in September, I have a 188 avg in one league, and a 191 in the other. That ball has greatly increased my accuracy by being able to get immediate feedback from the ball roll at release.

  • Questions for Frankie and JR Pro Shop: Frankie, the urethane ball you used in this vid, the Storm IQ-U/78, has a core, compared to another common urethane spare ball, for example, the Storm Mix. Did you purposely choose a urethane ball with a dynamic core as your spare ball, rather than the Mix, or any of the "plastic" spare balls? Is there any advantage, in your opinion, to using this particular ball for your spares, other than saving space in your bag as a dual purpose, spare/short pattern, lower volume control ball? Also, could you please share a little about your wrist and hand positions when shooting spares versus strikes? It seemed that although you cupped your wrist a bit, you were definitely up the back of the ball, rolling it with much less axis rotationm to keep it straighter. I have read the view of some coaches who feel that merely using a "spare ball" isn't sufficient, if you are going to release the ball the same way you release your ball for strikes, so I would love to hear your thoughts on that. Thank you for an important and great vid, and thanks JR Pro Shop for hosting Frankie.

  • Maybe this is dumb, but I just don’t get why so many pros shoot spares with urethane balls. What is the thought process behind using your earliest hooking ball with the most surface on spare shots? And in cases where that’s also a urethane ball the player would use for strike shots, wouldn’t shooting spares with it gradually lane shine the ball and cause drastic shape differences due to the surface changing?

  • The 3-6-9-10 is the easiest spare to pick up. I don't know why people struggle with it so much. It's all about the angles when it comes to bowling. Work on your spare game but you need to work on your straight game when it comes to spare shooting. So many times I see people hooking it at the 7 or the 10 pin when all you have to do is let your wrist flat no bend, line up straight with the pin, and throw it straight. One thing you should not be doing on most spare shots is putting any kind of hook on the ball. The straighter you can throw that ball in a straight line either down the lane or across the lane your spare game will increase.
