For me, the Enriched Uranium.  But I know a lot of people swear by the Tsunami H20

From what I've seen and heard, the Tsunami is probably the best all-around ball in the lineup right now. The cover on that ball is said to be very workable, making it viable on all manner of medium lanes. As an added benefit, the one that I saw thrown in person looked absolutely awesome going down the lane, if that's your thing.

Very True...  With the Tsunami you get a very true/smooth rolling ball, and is a great ball to have available for many different shoots...

I would try the G-Force Nebula. Very smooth, yet very strong. =:^D

If he doesn't want it, I might be interested if it's really "dirt cheap" .

Depending on your actual Medium conditions, I would like to add my 2 pennies...
Uranium cores seem to work for me.... not a huge fan of the Bomb cores but still throw them if the condition calls for it....
That being said.....
URANIUM PEARL I can get this ball to the pocket and carry as long as I am correct with everything on any condition..

Or the Offset H20.... This ball is one of the most UNDERRATED balls that I have seen in a while.. I can stroke it and it holds the pocket or I can move left and crank the snot outta it and it makes the turn and destroys the rack...

Ten pin?????? Where?? I throw a BUZZSAW there is NUTTIN left on the deck...

The pearl cobalt bomb is a very good med to light oil ball.  Clears the heads with ease and has a strong controlled reaction down lane.  The ball hits and carry's really well.

I would suggest staying away from the Bomb cores for your first Lane #1 ball.  They are great but some people don't matchup well with them.  They just don't seem to roll right for some people.  I would go with something from the Uranium line, or like I said before the Tsunami.  If you like what you read about any of the balls with bomb cores try to get a single drilled one, plug it up and give it a shot.  Just my $.02

I agree with Tommymo, go with the regular diamond core first.  I would recommend the Tsunami, or the NEW Nebula (which is a Pear particle); of the two, I would go with the new WAS core Nebula, and then back it up with the evolution.
