In general, you should really measure your PAP of a non-flaring ball like a polyester or pancake cored urethane or resin ball.

One suggestion I heard that makes a great deal of sense is to sand a polyester ball lightly and throw your normal ball in the middle of the lane on the oil. That first track should be a good measure.

"None are so blind as those who will not see."

My arsenal is Termintor, Big Bang, Buzz right now, and I got to tell you.. i am set.

I dont know what the Big R Bang is though.... world class R maybe?

But if you are refering to the partical Big Bang, it is the all around best medium oil ball i have ever owned by far.  BY FAR....  

Terminator - Stacked leverage - Grey Pad finish - no polish - Heavy/Long oil
Big Bang - Stacked leverage - factory finish - Medium - fresh patterns
Buzz - 1:30 - 3M Finesse-it polish over factory finish. - Medium to dry back ends.
XXXL - Stacked leverage - spare ball

Here are my two choices:
Big Bang if you like a late stroong breaking... New standard if you like long even controllable arcs reactions.  Cant go wrong with either of them.

And if you want a ball for medium lighter oil..drill up the Buzz... its very smooth and readable on the back end... very easy ball to roll high scores with.
