Why Buy A Urethane Bowling Ball

You might wonder however why a professional bowler or even a league bowler would want to throw a urethane ball. The reason is that the oil transition occurs much slower for bowlers using urethane. When you get lined up to the pocket you are more likely to stay there when you are throwing urethane. Not only that but because the urethane ball will hook more than a plastic ball the first shot in the pocket is more likely to carry all ten pins. The plastic ball will not easily drive through the pocket and is hard to consistently get strikes with and the reactive ball will transition faster.

This is because the urethane ball reacts very mild to dry patches on the lane and thus spare shots can easily be flattened out with a urethane ball.
