There are several different ball attributes and some of them drastically affect the throw! The big ones to look for are “weight”, “spin” and any text that is highlighted like “Powershot” or “Gutter avoider.” We encourage you to try out different balls and see what attributes you like the best!
CoreSting Tech
CoreSting Tech is asymmetric weight block used for these type of medium to high spin balls, giving a similar skid, spin, and roll profile.
Good for experienced bowlers with normally a medium hook.
Fast Ball
Fast Balls are balls that travel faster than a normal ball. They are usually lighter and have more bounce for a higher degree of action. (aka A Fast Boy) Note: the Fast Ball profile is considered an 'arcade ball' and is not allowed in Pro Mode matches.
Good for all bowlers looking to pickup a wide split.
Gutter Avoider
Gutter Avoiders move away from the gutter with a straight throw, giving the feeling of a natural hook. Note: the Gutter Avoider profile is considered an 'arcade ball' and is not allowed in Pro Mode matches.
Good for beginning bowlers looking to work on aim and consistency of release.
Heavy
Heavy balls are generally heavier than regulation bowling balls, carry a bigger hit, and a wider hook.
Good for all levels of bowlers with a softer swing.
High Friction
High Friction balls have coarser grit on their cover, making them hook earlier and catch harder on shorter patterns.
Good for experienced bowlers on long patterns to give a hard ending hook.
Hollow Core
Lower friction balls with no core, these balls have a slick feel to them that give a slower hook in low oil conditions.
Good for experienced bowlers on shorter patterns to give a drawn-out hook.
No Spin
No Spin balls are just that: they have no spin. Put as much spin as you want on them, they will almost always roll without a hook.
Good for straight rollers and spare pickups. Also great for overhand throws.
No Bounce
These balls have zero bounce and stick to the lane.
Good for bowlers with a high loft who want an earlier hook.
Powershot
Powershot balls fly at high-octane speeds of 50mph or higher. Note: the Powershot profile is considered an 'arcade ball' and is not allowed in Pro Mode matches.
Good for trick shots, overhand lobs, and spare pickups.
Slowspin Tech
Slowspin Tech has a dampened spin compared its cousin, CoreSting Tech.
Good for bowlers who have a high spin release to draw out the hook.
Super Light
These balls are the light and have a lot of bounce, especially when hitting pins at high velocities.
Good for kids and wide splits
Ultra Spin
These balls spin more than a Tasmanian devil and are hard to control.
Good for a specific type of overhand throw that makes the pins explode. Also good for trick shots.
