I'm looking for suggestions on which to get for shorter oil, I want to be able to play more up the boards especially later in the shift. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

You can't go wrong with either. But for most nights the Slingshot with a pin down layout should be the choice. Mine is quite good that way. It's likely to be useable more often for MOST bowlers. By going pin down it's just more predictable, especially late on the lane.

The Urethane Avalanche probably isn't the "everyday" ball, but will save your life if the lanes get real toasty. It does seem to carry better than the solid urethane covered balls, which need a little more oil in order to consistently carry corner pins. This isn't a knock against any other company's ball, it's just one of the differences between a solid urethane and a pearl urethane.

Dewey,
For me, I have to agree with what BTM said.  My AU actually hooked a little more and a little earlier than my SS.  I definitely get more use out of my SS.  But, both balls are good when the pattern blows up.

Thanks,
