Default 1 ball

I see all these posts where people use 3-5 different balls through out their 3 game sets.....what if you had to use one ball for your strike ball and the same ball to pickup all your spares. What ball would you use?
I'll start, its whatever I need for the lanes, light oil, I'll throw the Toxic, heavier it'll be the BW, either one will work on spares (including the 10 pin)...

what would you go with, if you had to use 1 ball for everything???

Widow

no doubt

It plays every condition well for me....I can even get 10pins with it every once in a while

10pins are my nemesis....I just can't seem to find a consistant line to get me up to 80% or higher conversion...

anything left of the 10pin is dead meat

I'd go with my Blue Vibe. It's meant for light oil, but I could just move right for heavier oil, plus it would be forgiving on the right side spares.

Depends if I wanted to be clean or not.

If clean I think I'd just use my plastic spare ball.

If I wanted to try for a strike feast with opens then I've use the appropriate strike ball for that condition
light Blade - reactive pearl
medium - big block
heavy - hawgzilla

I'd just have to Tuff it up. My other balls just hook too much.

I agree bout the hook too much part but I just flatten out my wrist and amp up the speed and no problem.

that's a good idea.

i better practice my Tuff as a strike ball in case this comes up...i can see it handy when the lanes are getting drier and lane transition is difficult to adjust.

oh yeah, my 1ball = Tuff

I would choice my BW or gasp #1 Awesome Revs. I can throw my reactives straight with release and speed adjustments.

Or maybe if we're going straight Al Bundy old school, I would just my Blue Dot and roll a straight ball.
