In my use so far, you can't go wrong with any of them. The Dirty Bomb is a must have, and a Solid Uranium too. My 10 pin % has gone WAY up since getting my Red XXXL too.

I was thinking about getting a Cobalt Pearl and maybe a heavy roller like a G-Force or Cobalt Solid...

Enriched Uranium is a great ball as well.  Don't forget about the Tsunami either.

And what if it's sheer coincidence, which is very likely these days?

Try a used, less expensive basic Lane#1 with a completley different drill and intended for a completely different oil pattern; so that, if it proves equally efficacious, (that is, you shoot another 750+ with an entirely different ball), then you will be RELATIVELY sure you have a true winner on your hands.

Anyone care to debate the truth of that scenario??????

Saying a ball is overrated doesn't mean it isn't any good. I liked all 3 of mine, but I still think there stuff is overrated.

I would go with the G-orce for heavy roller, with the two new Pearls as compliments.

My G-Force drilled label, with the MB left of the thumbhole, actually picks up sooner than my Solid Uranium on the same line.  My Solid Uranium covers about 3 more boards at the back, but gets about 3-4 more feet of length.  Solid U is also drilled label, but has a 4.5" pin vs. a 3" pin on my G-Force.

Both excellent choices if you want something that rolls pretty heavy.

And the Tsunami is the best true medium ball I have ever thrown.

+1 for the Tsunami.

It comes back off a free THS with no oil rings. It's like it repels oil :
I left it in my car with my Cobalt Pearl, and the Pearl was dripping. The Tsunami didn't have anything on the cover stock. Granted the Pearl has a 10 to 1 ratio on games used, but damn.. the Tsunami is hard to break in.

Which for me is good. I use it to cross boards when the shot calls for it. Snaps hard, hits hard. Awesome ball.
