I suggest THE Real Deal. I say this because as stated above the Big Deal is more angular than the Real Deal, and if you are bowling on a VERY heavy condition, the Big Deal will push too much for you down the lane. I found myself using my Real Deal just as much on my 46' sport pattern this winter as I used my Big Deal. Two outstanding balls, just different ways of attacking the pattern.
*I make this statement without having any firsthand knowledge of the Hawg, as I have not received it yet.
