Question: What is the difference between plastic, urethane, and reactive bowling balls?
Answer:
Plastic (polyester) balls have the lowest hook potential and are best for straight shots and spares. Urethane balls offer moderate hook and excellent control on drier lanes. Reactive resin balls create the strongest hook by gripping the lane better, making them the best choice for most league bowlers who want to develop a consistent hook and better pin carry.
