Reactive

New to this company. What would be a good reactive ball for the lighter conditions to match up with my Big Bang P. Profile doesn't say much but says it all.

I had an Absolute Power, which is a reactive, that was great for a medium oil house shot.  I had it drilled with the pin to the left of the ring finger, and the CG stacked under it, with a small weight hole.  It gets down the lane and make a very nice turn on the back end.

I also had the Buzz...which worked well once for me.  When the lanes were somewhat broken down, and the back ends were FLYING...it really got down the lane, but once it hits the screaming back ends, it looked like someone kicked it and it made a HARD turn right.

I'm a lefty

Of the current crop of Lm/L resin balls, the Buzz and the Masterpiece are the ones that THEORETICALLY can cover the least oil (except for the Straight FLush which is a pancake core for the lightest of oils.)

I have no experience with the Buzz but I've barely been able to use the MP on medium oil. With the same drill it's earlier and has mor eoverall hook than my Brunswick Bruiser. I just a 16 lb one and am having it drilled for light to medium oil by putting the pin over the ring finger.

Most Lm/L balls are strong enough to allow almost anyone to put the pin over the bridge area and still get a fairly strong reaciton.

Depending upon the variables that you bring to the table (your ball speed, revs, axis tilt and axis rotation), I'd say that with the proper layout AND coverstock surface, you could possibly us any of the "L/LM" reactive resin balls for lighter conditions:
- Absolute Power,
- Masterpiece,
- SatisfaXion
- The Buzz,
- World Class reactive,
- Big R Bang,
- Straight Flush

 It really depends upon your definition of "light" ... that term means different things to different people because of the lane surfaces, oil patterns, and other variables. To truly get a feel for what would would best for you in your particular "light" condition, I's STRONGLY recommend a chat with Galen Gentry at Legends OR Pat Duggan at BowlingBallMall; these two gentlemen have a WORLD of knowledge and they truly wish to help bowlers get smarter and to bowl better. If you need contact info, Galen's number is posted frequently in this Forum and Pat's number can be provided upon request.
LMK if I can help ...

Yeah the BUZZ on lighter conditions for me has racked up about 4-5 700 series as well as 3 279's. Great ball, you would love it.
