Composition Resin Skittle Balls

Competitive skittlers have for centuries prefered to use balls made from the traditional wood, Lignum Vitae, a tropical hardwood which is extremely hard, very heavy and also self-lubricating. This is increasingly difficult to obtain and many leagues are having to try new materials for their skittle balls.

As an alternative to Lignum, we have balls made from a black phenol resin composite. These are similar to the material used to make modern lawn bowls - the weight and density are deliberately similar to Lignum Vitae. They have been used by serious pubs and league players successfully for many years. They have the disadvantage that they can leave marks on the alley (although apparently cellulose thinners is effective at removal). But they are inexpensive and normally last for many seasons.
