My leaguemate has a Lane #1 Droid and Pink Panther. Both are as smooth as peanut butter.

Control is the name of the game with the Motiv Thrash. Love how mine so smooth but continuous through the backend.

They're going to be difficult to find soon, but the Pink Panther from Lane #1 is the smoothest reactive ball I've seen in the last 10 years, hands down.

If you're looking at Ebonite, the Game Changer would be a better choice. The elevate will be the longer and more angular of the two balls.

Seismic aftermath Pearl ALL THE WAY hANDS DOWN!

Seismic blackout. Ebo line right now, none really, if you could get a gamebreaker and polish it that would be good too.
would help if you could give some specs. I have seen some slower speed/lower rev bowlers use the mission 2.0 drilled control.

If you can still find it, the Nomad Dagger is a good choice. Being a hybrid, you get a little extra length but the solid balances out the strong snap. For me, it's very clean up front, reads the mids well, and has a controlled reaction on the backend. I've used this under my recently sold Anarchy and love the predictability. Hands down, a very solid choice.
One ball that I just picked up is the Hammer Brick. This can be drilled to fit beneath the Anarchy and it is flat out a beast. It's very similar to the Nomad Dagger, but allows additional options with drilling since it has a completely asymmetrical core. Unlike the Dagger, the Brick can handle heavier volume, giving you more flexibility. I've only thrown a few games with it so far but my thoughts are that its very clean up front with its hybrid cover, great with the mids and just destroys the rack with hitting power. It's also very predictable. Absolutely a great ball to consider.

Because it is a question with limited scope and information, so what to expect here?
I also wonder why anybody has just thrown in balls (BTW, I'd also lift my thumb for the Blackout), but not given a thought about a proper setup. You can do wondrous things through layout choice - e. g. through a label setup or a pin-axis layout. No ball alone is the correct answer without a thought about its intended recation shape and the proper layout. Anyway, still guesstimates, but the whole picture is more complex than just pointing with a finger on a ball and say "That's what you need, my son."

The question was that he is looking for an even-rolling solid or pearl that fits under the Anarchy. You can literally name 100s of balls released the past couple years that fit that billing, regardless of whether he has 100 revs or 500 revs. Doesn't matter if it is heavy oil, light oil, flat pattern, THS on anvilane, HPL, or any of that other crap. An even-rolling solid that fits below the Anarchy will still be an even-rolling solid below the Anarchy on any of those conditions, regardless of his stats.

massive damage by brunswick.
Post by: sport300 on February 22, 2012, 07:13:59 AM
forgot, also the lethal revolver by brunswick. this would handle more volume than the massive damage, but both are smooth on the backend.

I have the game changer bowled 202, 234,198 first time next day 236,224,243. Pin above fingers rolls smooth mid lanes harder power hook in to the pins. must .keep speed up to keep from crossing over still working on shot .

Crossroad, I love the ball so much. So smooth and strong. Weaker Core/Cover combo than Anarchy so I can see it fitting right where you're looking.
My Arsenal:
Roto Grip Rogue Cell
900 Global Bounty
Storm CrossRoad
Hammer Blue Vibe
Post by: Walking E on February 24, 2012, 11:13:20 PM
I'm under the strong impression that the Crossroad is stronger than the Hyroad, so I would say the Hyroad should be a smoother and more controllable option to fit under the Anarchy.
I demo'd an Elevate and thought it was a great ball, but stronger on the back than maybe you want. It's a very strong ball in the back end.

That'swhy I suggested the Game Changer, it has the V5 core like the Elevate,but the matte 3000 grit finish will make it roll sooner and earlier,smoothing out the reaction. Also, Buddie's has them for $79 shipped!
