spare ball
Extra bowling orb
In bowling, a spare ball is a ball designed or reserved specifically for picking up spares rather than the first throw.
Spare balls typically have less hook potential than strike balls, traveling straighter to hit remaining pins predictably: I switched to my spare ball for the 10-pin.
