Since most people want smooth even reacting balls on most sport patterns, in general, I'd agree.

 

Since you didn't mention any of your release specs, I'm assuming your ball speed/rev rate ratio is in the average range (i.e you're not highly speed dominant, nor are you highly rev dominant) and you don't have 200 rpms nor do yo have 500 rpms. Those would change the range of balls you'd be looking for.

 

I'd also add the Massive Damage and the Karma solid into your consideration list.

 

Nexus Solid and Too Reckless for me, but I am right handed

Blue Karma without the polish wouldn't be a bad choice either depending on how you like to play the lanes

I haven't seen one in action yet or even tried one, but I'd also have a keen eye on the Versa-Max, probably with a high grit finish and with a pin-in-ring finger/stacked layout (say,  pin @ 4.5-4.75 from PAP) as the stronger piece, and either a Misfit or a Karma (probably a normal Pearl or a Solid, the new Activator+ would certainly be too aggrissive for my needs) with a long pin, placed above the fingers, and polished, for later games and eso.

Hey guys thanks for the updates so far.  Some background on my preferred game....

 

I'm a Lefty, speed dominant tweener.  I can rev up the ball but prefer not too.  I prefer to play straight and like the outside of the lane around 567 more than inside 10 but can play inside if need be (very direct).  16-17 mph, 30* axis rotation, approx 295-325 rpm (never measured).  (think parker bohn but with less speed, bout the same rev.)

 

I'm leaning towards the Nexxus (i have one and love it, wouldn't mind another) or the regular nexus solid.  I am still not certain on the second piece, either a nexus pearl (again have one and love it, another with a different layout would be great), versamax, reckless, Karma A+ or misfit.   Both balls whatever I pick will be drilled the same with a smooth reacting drilling for control. 

 

Any more thoughts?  I like the idea of going nexxus/nexus solid and nexus pearl, I can use my speed to make up for stronger gear and I can throw my nexus pearl on THS now, just worried about cheetah with that ball but the solid with polish might be fine.  Trying to be careful not to buy a ball that's too weak for this concept and not get to use it when I can't use my stronger one.  Thanks for the help....
