The Epic Wine Ice Blue Be Epic Bowling Ball closes out the Be Epic lineup with one of its most sophisticated colorways — a deep wine-purple base with icy blue and silver accents that has a galaxy-like depth unlike anything else in the series. The name says it all: rich, cool, and a little unexpected. Under that distinctive finish is the same Be Epic platform that makes the whole series work — polished polyester plastic, pancake weight block, straight-line ball motion that converts spares and gives beginners a forgiving foundation. USBC approved. Available in weights 6–15 lbs. Ships free on every order with no minimum purchase, backed by a 60-day return policy.
Description
Epic Wine Ice Blue Be Epic Bowling Ball — Deep Color. Straight Line. Clean Game.
Wine and ice blue isn’t a color combination you see often in bowling equipment, which is exactly what makes it memorable. The deep burgundy-purple base with icy blue and silver accent tones gives the Wine Ice Blue a depth and sophistication that stands apart from the brighter, more straightforwardly bold options in the Be Epic lineup. It’s the choice for a bowler with a specific aesthetic — someone who doesn’t want to blend into the equipment rack but isn’t looking for neon flash either. Rich, cool, and deliberate.
What the finish is hiding is the same foundation that runs through every Be Epic ball in the series: a pancake weight block that keeps the ball rolling on a flat, consistent axis, a polished polyester coverstock that minimizes friction contact with the lane, and the kind of straight-line predictability that makes spare shooting feel like a solved problem rather than a variable one. Whether this is the first ball in your bag or the dedicated spare tool that finally completes a two-ball setup you’ve been building, the Wine Ice Blue delivers what a plastic spare ball should — every time, without drama.

🎓 How Ball Speed Affects Spare Ball Performance — and Why Consistency Matters More Than Fast or Slow
Ball speed is one of the most discussed variables in bowling, but most of that conversation happens in the context of reactive resin hook balls — how speed interacts with rev rate to produce more or less hook, how slowing down lets the ball read the friction earlier, how speeding up keeps it cleaner through the front part of the lane. For a polished plastic spare ball, the speed conversation is different and considerably simpler, but it still matters in ways that affect how reliably you convert spare attempts.
How speed affects a plastic spare ball: A polished plastic ball has almost no friction interaction with the lane — it skids through the oil and rolls out smoothly regardless of speed across a reasonable range. But speed still influences two meaningful factors: deflection on pin contact, and the time the ball is in motion before reaching the target. A ball delivered at a very slow speed arrives at the pins with less momentum, which increases deflection — the ball kicks off the pin it contacts rather than driving through it. On a single pin leave this usually doesn’t matter much, but on multi-pin spares where a conversion requires carrying one pin into another, a weakly delivered ball can clip the first pin and deflect away from the second.
Too fast creates its own problems: Delivering a spare ball at much higher speed than your strike ball tempo creates an inconsistency in your approach timing and swing. Your body has calibrated to a specific swing weight and tempo for your normal delivery — switching to a dramatically different speed disrupts that timing in ways that affect accuracy. Most missed spares that bowlers attribute to “bad aim” are actually timing disruptions caused by unconsciously adjusting speed when they see a difficult leave.
The practical principle — match your speed: The most consistent spare shooting comes from delivering your plastic spare ball at roughly the same speed as your primary reactive ball. Same approach footwork, same swing tempo, same release timing — only the ball and your starting position change. This keeps your body mechanics stable and your targeting reliable. When you see competitive bowlers switch to their spare ball, the approach looks identical to their strike approach. That’s intentional. Muscle memory built on a single consistent tempo is the foundation of repeatable spare shooting, and it works with a polished plastic ball at any speed as long as that speed is consistent shot to shot.

💡 BowlersMart Tips: A Practical Guide to the Hardest Spare Leaves — How to Approach Washouts, Clusters, and Difficult Splits
We’ve covered corner pin geometry, the 3-6-9 positioning system, pre-shot routines, and drill sequences across the Be Epic series. This guide addresses the leaves that all of that preparation gets tested on: the genuinely difficult spares that separate bowlers who protect their average from those who leave open frames on the table. A plastic spare ball like the Wine Ice Blue is the right tool for all of them — here’s how to use it.
The Washout (headpin still standing with a gap): A washout differs from a split because the headpin is still up — there’s a gap in the pin pattern but the front pin remains. Common washouts include the 1-2-4-7 (left side) or 1-3-6-10 (right side) combinations. Because the headpin is present, this is actually one of the more makeable “difficult” spares — your plastic ball can drive through the headpin and carry secondary pins if your entry angle is correct. For right-handed bowlers on a right-side washout (1-3-6-10), move slightly left of your normal starting position and target the headpin directly; the ball’s momentum through the 1-pin will push the 3 into the remaining cluster. Don’t aim for the gap — aim for the headpin and let the collision do the work.
The Baby Split (2-7 or 3-10): The baby split is the most commonly converted split in recreational bowling because the two pins are adjacent enough that a ball entering between them at the right angle can clip one into the other. For the 3-10 (right-handed bowler’s most common baby split), move to the far left of the approach and target the right side of the 3-pin, angling the ball so it deflects the 3-pin toward the 10. The plastic spare ball’s straight path makes the entry angle predictable — you’re relying on geometry, not hook, to create the pin-to-pin contact. Practice this leave specifically because the angle required is unintuitive until you’ve done it enough times to internalize it.
The Big Four / Double Pinochle (4-6-7-10): This is the leave most recreational bowlers simply accept as a loss, and in most cases that’s the right call — converting all four pins requires two of them to cross the entire pin deck, which happens rarely even at high skill levels. The correct strategy here is damage minimization: aim for the side of the leave that gives you the best chance to convert two pins while sacrificing the other two. For a right-handed bowler, the 6-10 side is typically more makeable. Don’t attempt a heroic cross-lane shot at the 4 or 7 — take the best two-pin conversion available and accept one open frame without compounding the damage with an errant shot.
The Bucket (2-4-5-8 or 3-5-6-9): The bucket is a cluster leave that looks intimidating but is actually highly makeable with a straight plastic ball. The key is to hit it flush and full — don’t try to clip an outside pin and carry. Drive your spare ball directly into the center of the cluster (the 5-pin in both common bucket configurations), and let the plastic ball’s momentum push the front pin through the back two. Because a polished plastic ball deflects less than a reactive ball on this kind of direct hit, it tends to punch through pin clusters more reliably than a hook ball that loses energy in a direction change on the way in.
The general principle for multi-pin spares: With a plastic spare ball, direct, full-contact hits almost always outperform finesse shots aimed at edges or outside pins. The ball’s straight path and low-deflection roll on direct contact gives you more consistent carry on clusters than any angled approach with a hook ball. When in doubt, identify the pin that connects the rest of the cluster, aim straight for it, and deliver at your normal speed. The spare ball does the rest.
