Subbed for a friend in this league and the line (standing on 20 and throwing it up 15-17)i was forced to place was quite uncomfortable (I prefer to looping the lanes)started using the playmaker(PD@1k) on fresh oil wasn't carrying the corner pin so switched to the gamebreaker (PU@500+polish) and was able to hold me out to the end just breaking my ave in the 3 games. I don't want to change the surface to much on these babies because i frequent other houses so i wanted some reccomendations for a heavier oil ball?

As has been said many times before ...
LevRG
Cell
Resurgence
Ogre Particle
Others have also suggested ...
Dimension (might be good if you want to swing the ball as it's later and a little more polished)
Buzzbomb
Mammoth
etc.

And don't forget you're not going to be able to hook the whole lane if it actually is oily. Move right and slow down if you aren't carrying.

Look for something with a low RG, a high differential and a solid recative or particle coverstock, with a sanded finish. Put the pin under your fingers, close to the palm (a 1-2" pin with not too much TW is a good basis), and place the CG/MB between 45-90° from your PAP.
A Gamebreaker is IMHO a very good choice, if you want to stick with Ebonite, but the ball choices on the market are too many to list them...
Good luck

Columbia's Noize is a good oiler for a reasonable price. Same coverstock as the Resurgence with the Ti Boss core.
--------------------
220...221...whatever it takes.
-
Currently the Ogre Particle and the Noize are the cheapest good oilers out there right now. You might also find a recently discontined Storm Jolt particle.

Not cheap, heck, not even inexpensive ball for an occasional subbing purpose.

I didn't read it all that well, and did not see or notice he wanted a mid priced oiler. In that case, Noize, Anger, or Ogre particle, maybe ogre solid.

Looking at your current arsenal, why won't the Mammoth suit your needs? A 400 grit particle is made for oil. Better yet you could take the T-Road solid back down to 1000 grit(or lower)great oil ball. Even better yet, you have a dull Playmaker and polished Gamebreaker, why not just reverse it and save some money! If your set on a new ball, the Hammer Anger(ajust cover down as needed) is the ball for you.

I'm sure there are other adjustments you can make if the only problem is carrying the corner pin.
Take it from a guy with over 50 balls in 4 years....learn to make those adjustments and don't depend on the ball. It's a lot better for your game and cheaper on the wallet.
There is no magic ball.
If you really want to add another ball to the collection, there are plenty to choose from. Pick your favorite color combination and go for it.

I just got an NVD for a cracked cell, i must say it is alot of bowling ball I could not use it on a fresh medium shot.
It produces alot of entry angle the shots i threw it in practice, I will retry it again tomorrow night and try to move inside which is really about my F game to be honest.
Levrg for me has been the favorite out of the group suggested to you, it revs up well and hit is above average like any Mo Ball. Got my Levrg for 98.00 shipped on ebay about 6 months ago.
