Its eye-catching turbine graphic makes it a standout on the rack, but its real value is precision: this is a plastic ball engineered to go straight, so you can pick up single pins and corner pins with a repeatable shot.\n\nThe Turbine Viz-a-Ball pairs a simple, low-flare 3-Piece Core with a durable plastic coverstock. Plastic is the least aggressive coverstock material, so the ball ignores the oil pattern and travels in a straight, predictable line. It is the dedicated spare tool every complete arsenal needs, in a bold turbine design.\n\nUnderstanding the 3 Piece Core and Plastic (Polyester)\n\nHammer built the Turbine Viz-a-Ball to go straight. Specifically, the simple 3-Piece Core produces essentially no track flare, while the plastic cover generates very little friction with the lane. As a result, it holds a true, predictable line regardless of the oil pattern, exactly what you want when shooting spares.\n\nA Simple, Low-Flare Core Built to Go Straight\n\nThe Turbine Viz-a-Ball uses a simple, low-flare 3-Piece Core that produces essentially zero track flare. That is exactly what you want in a spare ball: the core resists hooking, so the ball holds a true, predictable line straight to your spare.\n\nBecause it does not flare, the ball rolls on a straight path regardless of the oil pattern. That predictability is the whole point of a dedicated spare ball: you can throw the same straight shot at every single-pin and corner-pin spare and trust it to get there.\n\nA Durable Plastic Cover With Minimal Friction\n\nThe Turbine Viz-a-Ball is finished with a polished plastic coverstock featuring a bold turbine graphic. Plastic is the least aggressive coverstock material, so it generates very little friction with the lane. The result is a clean, straight reaction that ignores the oil and goes where you aim it.\n\nThat minimal friction is exactly why plastic is the standard for spare shooting. The ball pushes straight through the fronts and resists the hook of a reactive ball, so you can line up your spares with confidence. Plastic is also extremely durable, making the Turbine Viz-a-Ball a long-lasting, dependable tool in any bag.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Spare Shooters: A dedicated straight-line ball for converting single-pin and corner-pin spares with a repeatable shot\n\n✓New and Developing Bowlers: An affordable, predictable ball, or a simple straight-shooting option while you learn the lanes\n\n✓Every Competitive Bowler: The plastic spare ball every arsenal needs alongside its reactive equipment\n\n✓Straight Players: A clean, no-hook reaction for bowlers who play straight up the lane\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Ships polished: The Polished finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where the Turbine Viz-a-Ball Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nEvery complete arsenal needs a dedicated spare ball, and the Turbine Viz-a-Ball fills that role with style. Where your reactive balls hook to the pocket, this plastic ball goes straight, so you use it for corner pins and single-pin spares where hook only adds risk. It is the simplest, most predictable ball in the bag, and one of the most important for protecting your score.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe polished plastic surface keeps the Turbine Viz-a-Ball clean and skidding straight. There is rarely a reason to change a spare ball's surface, but your pro shop can re-polish it if it ever loses its shine. Keep it polished so it continues to travel straight through the oil.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the plastic cover with an approved ball cleaner after use. Plastic is durable and low-maintenance, so a quick wipe keeps the Turbine Viz-a-Ball shooting straight and looking sharp for years.\n\nEarn points on every Hammer purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
