Question: Should I use a TZone or my reactive strike ball for spares?
Answer:
You should almost always use a plastic spare ball like the TZone instead of your reactive strike ball. Reactive balls can over-hook or skid too much on broken-down lanes, leading to missed spares. The TZone gives you a straighter, more repeatable shot so you can focus on accuracy rather than fighting the ball’s hook.
