Long time reader, first time poster.
So anyways, I'm trying to get an arsenal together for the upcoming
season.
I need something to fill in the middle of the line.
Right the current stuff I'm using is:
Heavy: Strike Zone
Benchmark: Smokin Inferno
Light: BVP Punisher
Spare: Ebonite Maxim
I have an Inferno, Zone Classic, and Absolute Inferno
sitting in my closet that I could use.
I'm debating whether this arsenal is ok, since the S.I
works wonders for me, or if I should run 6 balls as a
"just in case" to be safe.
Thanks in advance

I do have the green pin Zone Classic
It is drilled Rico1.
The Inferno is drilled pin over ring, cg in CoG
The problem I was having with deciding between the two
was the that the ZC seems to be closer in terms of
hook potential to the Punisher.
While the O.I was closer to the S.I. I haven't been
able to find a "middle ground" for a true medium oil
ball.

I've actually thrown the S.I on a long medium pattern.
I guess we can call it a semi-sport shot. Flat pattern, about 35ft.
buffed out to 40, oil track around 10, with dry outsides.
I played my usual inside line. I was about 25-30 to 3rd arrow. The ball
skid to the end of the oil, when it hit dry revved up and snapped back to pocket. I didn't like the angle, but there was a shot. Now granted, if the dry wasn't there, the ball would have never recovered. Strike Zone handled it wonderfully though.
But I have been VERY surprised with the versatility of the S.I. I have mine drilled pin under ring, cg kicked out. X-hole on my VAL drawn from the Pin to CG line.
I've shot the ball on floods from inside, where the strike zone won't turn over. In addition, I tried this on a bone dry lane where I couldn't keep the Punisher on the lane. Granted I was releasing from the gutter over 4th, but it fed all the way out to about 4-5 or so, and came roaring back.
For me, this ball is VERY versatile.
