When you are bowling on wet/dry lane conditions as you likely may encounter in league bowling or local tournament play on house conditions, using a plastic ball can be to your advantage regardless of your skill level. Polyester bowling balls will not over-react in the dry area of the lane nearly as quickly as will aggressive reactive resin bowling balls. Plastic ball models will surely skid easily to the mid-lane if you miss your target toward the oily portion of the lane surface. The net effect is that fewer shots will "jump" out of the oil pattern and, by using proper alignment, will continue toward the break point and on to the pocket.
In fact, it is not uncommon to watch power players, those who hook the ball a great deal and have a very high rev rate, use polyester balls to control skid length and prevent excessive over-reaction on wet/dry or on dry lane conditions. Bowlers who go up-the-boards and only hook the ball a slight amount can still get a reliable ball reaction when lane oil conditions breakdown in league or tournament play by not fearing playing in the dry portion of the lane if they can get a smooth and controllable arc to the pocket on the back ends.
The emerging trend in bowling is to seek a continuous arc or a very controllable ball motion in the mid-lane and at the break point compared to the old theory of skid/hook ball motion which is difficult to control. Plastic balls will help you gain control when the lane oil conditions break down, on fresh wet/dry conditions, and when shooting spares, particularly the tricky corner pin spares.
Polyester coverstock bowling balls replaced the rubber ball in the 1970's in popularity and was the dominant ball during that decade. Although the industry provided successful rubber bowling balls well into the 1970's, essentially from about 1971 forward the polyester bowling balls have been and are used on the PBA Tour and by top amateur players in the country.
Plastic balls are the least aggressive of all modern day coverstocks available in the market. Plastic balls react least aggressively of all coverstocks in medium, medium-heavy, and heavy oil lane conditions on the front end, in the mid-lane, and on dry back end of the lane.
Plastic balls favor slow ball speed players for both strike and spare ball deliveries. Plastic balls will not hook as quickly as
urethane balls because of the lesser amount of friction generated on the lane surface with a stiff coverstock made of polyester materials. Polyester or
plastic bowling balls are factory finished with a polished and shiny surface which further indicates the longest skid potential and least amount of back end ball reaction of all choices of bowling balls in today's market.
It is recommended to consult with your pro shop professional or a local bowling instructor to help you develop your equipment arsenal. Please don't be afraid to add a plastic ball to your personal inventory if you have not already done so.
