Description
Epic Deep Red Be Epic Bowling Ball — Bold Color. Straight Line. Every Time.
Red is bowling’s color. Walk through any pro shop, open any competitive bowler’s bag, look at any bowling alley’s rack of house balls — red has been one of the most enduring colors in the sport since the earliest days of reactive resin equipment. There’s something about it that signals intention: this bowler came to compete. The Epic Deep Red Be Epic earns that association. Deep, saturated crimson from core to cover, it looks like it means business from the moment you pull it out of the bag.
What it does on the lane matches the attitude. The Be Epic platform — pancake weight block, polished polyester coverstock, minimal flare, maximum straight-line predictability — makes the Deep Red one of the most reliable spare tools you can own at any price point. It goes where you aim it, handles any lane condition for spare shooting, and holds up through years of use without the maintenance requirements of a reactive resin ball. For the bowler who wants a spare ball that performs as confidently as it looks, the Deep Red is the answer.

🎓 Why Surface Finish Is the Most Important Spec on a Plastic Spare Ball — and Why Polish Is the Right Call
When you read specs on a reactive resin bowling ball, surface finish is one of several factors that shape ball motion — and sometimes not the dominant one. A high-differential asymmetric core can overpower a sanded surface on the right pattern. A strong solid coverstock can read the lane aggressively regardless of polish level. In short, surface finish on a reactive ball is one variable among many.
On a plastic spare ball, surface finish is essentially the only variable that matters. There’s no core differential driving track flare, no reactive coverstock chemistry creating friction at the breakpoint, no asymmetric mass bias pulling the ball in any direction. The pancake core is specifically designed to eliminate all of those dynamics. That leaves the surface finish as the single most significant factor controlling how the ball interacts with the lane — which is exactly why “Polished” is the correct finish for a spare ball.
What polished means in practice: A polished surface has been buffed to a high shine, which reduces the micro-surface texture of the coverstock that would otherwise create friction with the lane oil and boards. Less friction means the ball skids farther before transitioning to a roll, and when it does roll, it does so with minimal lane-reading behavior. On a spare shot — where you need the ball to travel a predictable, straight path across dry boards at the end of the pattern — maximum skid and minimal friction response is exactly what you want.
Benefits of polish on a plastic spare ball: A bowler who has used sanded reactive resin balls occasionally wonders if sanding a plastic spare ball would improve its grip on the backend dry. It won’t — and it’ll make the ball hook earlier for spare shooting. Sanding introduces friction that causes even a low-differential plastic ball to develop a slight rolling motion earlier, which can introduce just enough arc to cost you boards on cross-lane spare attempts. Polish is the spec that makes a plastic spare ball work. The Deep Red ships polished from the factory.

💡 BowlersMart Tips: How to Build Spare Consistency Through Deliberate Practice — The 3-6-9 System and Structured Spare Drills
Most bowlers practice striking. They show up to open bowling, work on their release, experiment with angles, try to string strikes together. Spare practice, if it happens at all, usually means shooting at whatever pins happen to be standing after a bad first ball. That approach produces modest improvement. Deliberate spare practice — structured drilling focused on specific leave types — is what actually moves the needle on spare percentage over the course of a season.
The 3-6-9 Spare System (the most widely taught spare method for hook bowlers): This system, popularized by bowling instruction coaches, gives hook bowlers a standardized formula for adjusting their starting position on spare leaves without needing to do complex board-counting math during competition. The principle is simple: for each pin moved to the right on the pin deck (from your perspective as a right-handed bowler), you move your starting position three boards to the right on the approach. Six boards for two pins over, nine boards for three pins over. Left-handed bowlers apply the mirror image.
In practice: if you normally start at board 20 to strike at the head pin, and you’re facing the 6-pin (two pins to the right of center), you’d start at board 26. Facing the 10-pin (three pins to the right), you’d start at board 29. This system works because you’re maintaining the same release and target line — you’re only changing the starting position, not your mechanics. Consistency of mechanics is what makes spare shooting reliable.
A structured progressive spare practice sequence: Rather than randomly shooting spares, work through this sequence in a dedicated practice session:
Phase 1 — Single pin mastery (15–20 minutes): Set up the 7-pin, 10-pin, and headpin repeatedly. These are the most common single-pin leaves and the baseline for all spare shooting. Don’t move to multi-pin practice until you’re converting single pins at a high rate.
Phase 2 — Two-pin combinations (15 minutes): Work the 2-7, 3-10, 4-5, and 5-6 combinations. These require either a cross-lane straight shot or a close-proximity double hit. The ball selection (plastic spare ball) handles the straight shot; your job is learning the correct starting position for each.
Phase 3 — Split practice (10 minutes): The 4-6 split, 5-7, and baby splits (2-7, 3-10) benefit from practice even though they can’t all be converted reliably. Understanding how to minimize damage on difficult splits — taking the best angle to clip one pin into another — is a skill that reduces the number of open frames over a full season.
The honest math of spare practice: A bowler averaging 170 who converts 5% more of their single-pin spares over a full league season will typically see their average rise by 3–5 pins — without changing anything about their strike game. That’s the return on deliberate spare practice. The Deep Red gives you the right tool for it.
