I am looking to pickm up a new ball and considering between mission and mutant. I have an nvd 4 in pin under drill that i really love. it was my strongest ball now its my benchmark. Straighter ,but still consistent. I like to swing,meaning i am more comfy standing 25 with feet playing up 15 out to ,whatever.Right now my strong ball is a chalk thats great but still,if the lanes are tighter i would like to be able to generate more area and have greater miss room ,( i might hit my mark 3 out of 5 times,shhhh,no laughing).I am really not nearly as bad as i used to be ,haven't thrown but a few gutters this season.
    Any way, thinking of setting which ever i get up just like the nvd.Just wondering if that would be a good set up or should i drill it weaker than the nvd. I dont see a ton of oil,but yesterday i did play on a shot where i couldnt get far enough right to carry the ten with any ball. I am 4and 5/16overand a half up. 14 mph or so and minimum revs.Any positive thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

i would really be leary to go with the invasion just because the vg was such a bomb for me

Depends on the overall ball motion you want. I''ve yet to throw the Mission, but it seems to follow in the line of other Ebonite offerings in terms of raw backend without the cover death issue. As you''ve seen on the last couple of PBA shows it seems very sure footed even on a sport shot.

The Mutant is a stronger version of the original Cell, and what I''ve seen is it covers a few boards more than the original, but it jumps more at the spot than the original Cell.

I prefer the controllability of the the Cell line, but it does look like Ebonite might have something with the Mission. You seem to like Ebonite stuff, so even though I''m still hesistant about cover death, you should give the Mission a try.

As for the other suggestions, if you want something that will hook more than both at a reasonable price point you should really give the Reign of Fire a look.
