I find myself searching for a new ball, but not really out of necessity...

Currently I only bowl in one league, might be a late add to another, which is 3rd shift on wood lanes which generally has medium oil for most of the first game.  I think I pretty well have this condition covered as I can usually start out with my Hawg and play on 30 out over 15 if there is still enough oil, eventually transitioning to my Smokin' and swinging it a little more outside.  If there is really no oil the Zone Classic comes out.

I bowled in a city tournament last year that had a longer and heavier pattern than I am used to, so I struggled a bit having to play out of my comfort zone.

I am a Brunswick honk, so I really would like to get the Twisted, but I don't know how much different it will be than any of my current balls, and I am kind of afraid that it might duplicate my Smokin'.  I don't know how well this ball will preform on oilier tracks, which is probably my biggest need.  My pro shop had suggested the Black Widow and LevRG, although I have never used a MoRich product so I am unfamiliar.

I throw with a soft hand, medium track, average speed, have some axis tilt in my release creating a little skid-flip, but I don't have any measurements to date.  Hopefully I can get a video up sometime of my shot and the would probably be more helpful.  

Any thoughts?  

Thanks for your time.

======================================================

- Smokin' Inferno - White Pin - 4 3/4" x 1/2" down - pin 1" under ring finger

- Hammer Hawg - 3 5/8" x 1/2" up - pin 1/2" under ring finger cg 1 1/2" right

- Zone Classic - Red Pin - measurements when see the ball again

Year 1 - 154
Year 2 - 185
Year 3 - 194

So far, the reviews on the Twisted are that you can add surface and not lose it's angularity off the breakpoint.

But if you're looking for a ball for heavier oil, you'd be better off with a solid reactive cover than a pearl.  If you could find a Strike Zone, it's a real gem for what you describe.  If not, the Fury solid with the right surface is quite good also.  The new Blast Zone may also be a good choice because it's a solid/pearl hybrid with an asymmetrical core.

Although the BW is a solid, it may go a little long if you if you've got more axis tilt, so I would disagree with your driller on that one.  Good luck.

Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood what you were getting at, but it could be my fault, too.

On most league shots the Twisted should work unless they're on the slick side, then I'd still recommend the Blast Zone. Dull or shiny this ball is more  versatile than most.  

But if there's plenty of friction, the Twisted will allow you to stay closer to the friction and open up the lane more.  Make sense?

The Twisted should cover more boards on the back if thrown on the same line. As long as there's friction outside I would imagine that it's chances of surviving a pitch-out are better than the Smokin'.
