you cant go wrong with a power groove. Its a station wagon with a blown 454 under the hood just waiting for the right driver

Regardless of brand or specific ball, I'd recommend getting a ball that has a very smooth hook to it. They're a lot more predictable, therefore easier to control. I have a lot of trouble controlling a ball that is very snappy on the backend. With that said, I'd recommend a Columbia Rival. I've not had any personal experience with it but my dad has one & he absolutely loves it. Plus from what you read the ball is supposed to be very versatile & hits like a tank.
