you may want something between the Vapor Zone and the Tropical. I would go w/ something like this:

Scorchin or Total
Absolute
Vapor Zone (note Absolute and Vapor have some cover so it should be easy to know when to switch to the other)
Med Solid (i.e a Wizard or Thunderstruck
Med-Weak Pearl (i.e Rampage or Punisher or Thunderstruck Pearl or a weak drilled fired up)
Tropical
Plastic

The Scorchin won't like tournament shots that are longer in length and etc. Vapor Zone should be one of your best balls on a non THS shot.

There is no point in having a vapor zone AND an absolute(unless drilled different or different cover prep).  Pick one.  I don't know how your scorchin' is drilled, but I would always take something with surface with a weak drilling.  This will come off of the dry boards tamer, but will still grab in the oil.  I like to put pins 5-1/2" from PAP above or below my fingers.  I then use a weight hole if necessary to get a nice tight flare for a smooth, predictable arc.
