Alright, here's what I'm thinking. First let me tell you my style, then what I want to have and accomplish.
I am a power stroker/tweener. 16-19 mph, medium revs. I bowl on heavy to med. heavy conditions normally but want to be able to cover most conditions for tournaments. I am able to move from 5 to 25, I can vary speeds and hand.
I currently use my Black Cherry Bomb or dulled Cranberry and don't often have to move more than 2-4 boards per night. Occasionally I'll throw in my Cherry Bomb (if they've broken down a little) or my Icon300 if they are extra wet.
I really don't want to lug more than 4 balls around, so here's what I'm thinking:
I'll bring in the Super Carbide Bomb for the heavy stuff, I'll use the Black Cherry Bomb for medium to medium heavy. I'll polish my Cranberry and use it for medium and I'll pick up a XXL for lighter conditions. I think that this would be a pretty good 4-ball arsenal.
I'm only hesitating because I don't know about this new Golden Nugget. How might this fit into my 4 ball arsenal plans?
Any feedback, suggestions, ideas etc...would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Heavy - Super Carbide Bomb
Medium - Golden Nugget
Light - XXL

Mr Buzzsaw UK,
Is the Emerald really that different from a polished Cranberry? It might go a little longer (maybe) but it seems pretty similar, and strong. Also, the Golden Nugget, I am just not so sure where this fits in; is there enough of a gap between the BCB and the CB or Cranberry? This seems like a lot of balls for conditions covered by movement and speed adjustment. I don't know much about the Viper, the XXL seems awesome for the right conditions. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Mr Buzzsaw UK! I appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
