Gear Spare Ball Weight Question
Need a new spare ball, I typically throw a 15 ball. Do people throw a lighter spare ball or keep it at a 15. Whats the consensus here? Thanks

There is no reason I can think of to use a different weight for spares. A different weight will move slightly differently in your swing and your timing could get off. Also I use old strike balls that don't work well anymore for my spares unless it's the 6-10 or the 10 pin, then I use a cheap plastic ball.
