SWAG Dragon Stained Glass Performance Test

The pictures of this bad boy are cool but it’s even better in person. Throw at your spares in style with this glossy vibrant gem. First time I used mine was yesterday and this beauty turned heads.

The SWAG Stained Glass spare ball is an absolute showstopper on the lanes. If you’re looking for a ball that turns heads the moment it comes out of your bag, this is the one. The design is bold, vibrant, and truly eye-catching, giving it a unique look that stands out from anything else on the rack. It’s more than just a bowling ball — it’s a statement piece that brings style and confidence to every shot. Beyond the incredible appearance, the Stained Glass delivers exactly what you want from a spare ball — smooth, controlled, and consistent performance. The reaction is clean and straight, allowing you to stay focused and trust your spare shooting without worrying about unpredictable movement. It provides a reliable roll with a smooth motion down the lane, helping you stay locked in when accuracy matters most. What I love about this ball is the complete package — stunning visuals combined with dependable performance. It’s sweet, smooth, and built for bowlers who want confidence in their spare game while bringing energy and personality to their equipment. At the end of the day, great bowlers know spares win games, and the SWAG Stained Glass helps you stay sharp, focused, and confident. Look good, feel confident, and knock them down — one shot at a time.

As a staff member I received this ball got it drilled it’s beautiful in person better than I expected very high-quality. Rolls very straight and true. As a spare ball should. as soon as I took it out on the Lanes every person that saw it was like that’s awesome. That’s so cool. I need one of those. Pro shop has already pre ordered multiple for customers order this ball and get some swag in your bag also.

So let me tell you this ball is beautiful, it looks good in pictures but so much better in person. My PSO drilling it was shocked on how good this ball looks and then pulling it out of my bag so many people grabbed it and looked at it on league night. Being the double pour and not just in the outside shell really makes this ball pop. If you're looking for a plastic statement piece this is the ball.

This is perhaps the MOST GORGEOUS spare ball I've ever seen, and thrown. It is VERY eye-catching. It goes straight, as advertised, and seems very solidly made.

Shipping was decent, 5 business days (plus weekend) my wife loves the look of her new ball. The depth of the pattern is a deep glass illusion which looks great. It is a really good spare ball

This spare ball is immaculate. This really represents key pillars of SWAG’s determination to stand out. The stained dragon feeling not only looks so beautiful sitting on the rack waiting to get its spare action, but down lane as well. It creates this illusion that catches many eyes on the lanes constantly an entry to people asking me about swag products due to its beautiful unique nature. This spare ball truely idolizes the nature of swag to be dominant and unique in the field of bowling. Highly recommend everyone needs a spare ball and this ball stands out.

The SWAG Dragon Stained Glass Poly is a straight-rolling polyurethane ball designed for control and consistency — and honestly, it might be the best-looking spare ball ever. The stained-glass dragon graphic absolutely pops under league lights and stands out on any rack. The polished poly cover keeps hook to a minimum, making it ideal as a spare ball, for beginners, or on dry lane conditions where reactive balls over-hook. The motion is smooth, predictable, and very easy to manage. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ A reliable, budget-friendly straight shooter that looks incredible and does exactly what a poly ball is meant to do.

Why just take care of pesky ten pins with a plan, ordinary ball when you can do it in Style with the all new Stained-Glass Dragon….This ball looks even better in person than online!

Excellent service, thank you! Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a spare ball this is a very pretty spare ball to have in your bag .This ball for Me on really dry lanes had a little tail one the end when I was on a normal house shot it did just exactly like it should it went straight my ball driller made the comment that this is a very pretty ball and said this ball will go straight as an arrow and it does stand out and get so much attention at the bowling alley. The clear polyester shell is made of a higher than other spare balls it also has a vinyl layer put over a white ball and is also a painted stained glass dragon with a very eye catching design and great quality so if you need a spare ball this is the one

This is a definite must have the prettiest spare ball i have ever owned I used it at a tournament the other day and had a ton of compliments on it one person even said it looks better in person than on the website it is a true spare ball as it definitely goes straight so go out and make your spares with confidence with this amazing looking ball

People come up to me asking me about this spare ball the second I take it out of the bag and put it on the ball return. Super eye catching and attention grabbing. Looks great going down the lane as well.

if you use a spare ball and want something really good looking don't look no further then this guy, pictures don't do this any justice, the ball is flat out beautiful, it's like they painted the stained glass dragons and then put a clear cover over it, it's a must have if you wanna put holes in it and throw it for spares or want it for mantle piece one you will def want

Is this a spare ball? Sure. It does what a spare ball does. But you will not find a more beautiful spare ball than this. No picture can do this ball justice. The colors just pop. I leave this ball on the table during league just to generate the conversation. And still people just keep coming up to take a closer look. It is simply gorgeous.

My PSO drilled this ball up for me, he said I should never miss another 10 pin. For the last two weeks I have missed one, but that was on me. This ball rolls straight and looks amazing doing it. Everyone in all my leagues have come over just to look at it. I am going to buy another one just for display.

Although I have not had a spare ball in years, I have been recently considering purchasing one, particularly as I am making adjustments to my bowling technique to reduce my speed. The Swag Dragon Stained Glass Poly Spare Ball stands out as the most aesthetically pleasing I have ever seen in my 44 years of bowling. The colors, design, and construction are exceptional. The design is protected by a thick clear coat, ensuring its longevity. If you decide to purchase this exquisite spare ball, I recommend drilling it “centered” so that the word “Dragon” is on one side and “Swag” is on the other. This purchase will undoubtedly be a worthwhile investment, especially if you are seeking a spare ball of the highest quality and workmanship.

The new SWAG Dragon Stained Glass Poly Spare Ball is an absolute showpiece that brings personality to your spare game without sacrificing performance. Featuring a vibrant stained-glass dragon design, this ball is built on a durable polyester (poly) coverstock that delivers exactly what competitive bowlers expect from a true spare ball—straight, predictable motion with minimal hook. From a performance standpoint, this is a must-have in any serious tournament bag. Whether you’re flattening your hand at a 10-pin or shooting cross-lane at corner pins on tougher sport conditions, the Dragon Stained Glass stays true to your target line. The harder polyester shell resists lane friction, ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of oil pattern or lane surface. What I appreciate most is the confidence factor. When you step up needing a single pin to close a frame, you want reliability. This ball gives you that. And let’s be honest—having a spare ball that turns heads while you’re filling frames is a bonus. If you’re looking for a dependable spare ball that combines precision with standout style, the SWAG Dragon Stained Glass Poly Spare Ball delivers on both fronts.

Most beautiful spare ball ever made! I don't use a spare ball. I bought this to save and display.

Dragon Stained Glass Pre drilled Weight: 13lb 1oz Top: 2.0oz Pin: 0.5 – 1.5” 4000 Polished Specs RG: 2.69 Diff: .006 MB: N/A Greetings, I have the privilege of representing Swag. Here we have another spare ball modeled after our popular Dragon line. But wait, this one is special. It’s not like anything you have ever seen. It’s like looking into a marble. No, that’s not giving it justice. It’s like looking into a crystal ball! There is something truly magical about it. Same specs as our other 2 spare balls that we have available with the pancake core and the extra glossy cover. But with this review I want to appeal to our bibliophiles. I purchased this ball not to drill it but to place it on mantel to display. It looks that wonderous. Like something you would find in a fantasy land. You certainly can utilize it for what it was made for and get a lot of talk on the lanes. In addition to bowling, we are avid readers and this ball fit right into our library. It has sparked quite the conversations. I am sure it can do the same for you on and off the lanes. Seeing is believing. Visit a local bowlersmart and check it out for yourself. Try and walk out without picking it up. This ball is available in weights as low as 10lbs! Trust me when I tell you, you will fall in love with Dragons at first sight!

Love the ball. Looks sweet on the ally

Ball looks way better in person

MI,United States

This ball is drop dead gorgeous. This is not a Viz-a-Ball with an image printed on it that can scratch or be sanded off. This is a clear polyurethane ball with a beautiful stained glass image of dragons inside of it. You can sand the surface without harming the exquisite beauty of this ball. This is meant as a spare ball or for extremely dry lanes and if slightly sanded, will slightly hook just a bit. This ball is a definite eye catcher and the sheer amount of comments, looks and admiration for this ball from other bowlers has really been something to behold. I often just set it out for others to come and check out like it’s a special attraction and it gets that type of respect from most everyone who examines it. On the lanes, it does exactly what it should: rolls straight and true and looks amazing doing so. My one wish is that Swag Bowling would take this concept and put an actual Black Dragon core in it to produce a dry lane monster that would be perfect for torched lanes and shorter, lighter volume patterns. For now, this thing is a gem and is quite possibly the prettiest spare ball on the market.
