For a 6 ball arsenal, i would suggest...
Fury
Blast Zone
Pearl Fury
Red Zone
Rampage/Groove
Spare

I always thought that you could only carry 6. PM me if there is more and i will be glad to help as much as i can.

In college bowling tournaments, there's no real need to stack your arsenal in the typical "ladder" biggest hooking down to dry lane ball/plastic.  More often than not that will leave you only throwing 2 balls on the majority of shots while you have a bunch of condition specific(flood/sahara) balls laying in the bag with no games on them taking up space.

What I would do is ask around players with a revrate/speed match similar to yours that throws brunswick and see which covers match up the best.  Then make an arsenal of 2 high reponse balls(balls that respond very aggressive to friction), 2 low response balls(balls that roll more off of the friction), one aggressive shell drilled weak to even out wet/dry walls(if you see one) or for playing the extremes on the lane(deep inside when they get burnt and outside 4 when that option is availible), then your spareball(you'll need it!)

With your game, I would look at something like this:

For your aggressive layouts, I'd place 4" - 4 1/2" pins 2" above the midline with an option of a flare increasing x-hole to promote strong midlane revs and continuation.  For more benchmark/control layouts I would go 5 1/4" pins to PAP without an x-hole for more energy retention through the heads with a strong but controlled down lane move.

High Response w/ aggressive layout: Fury Pearl
High Response w/ control layout: Blast Zone

Low Response w/ aggressive layout: Wizard
Low Response w/ control layout: Sidewinder

Cleaner coverstock option for severe drying situations(5 1/2" pin high): Punisher, Power Groove, Radical Inferno

and a cool looking spareball is a must.

Have a good season.

From my experience in the 2 tournaments i have bowled I need pearl. I need controllable pearl though so I think i am going to drill a couple vapors and a sidewinder for now and eventually get something with surface.
