Which Diesel do you have? If it's red brick/black then it's particle; green/black is particle pearl; then you have reactive pearl, Big Block, and Big Rig. In any account, minus the reactive pearl, the ball is meant to roll early and hook and not for length and snapping on the backend.

You need a ball to compliment it. In newer stuff, I'd suggest a Cherry Vibe.

Not problem. That's a great ball! It has a low radius of gyration (RD) which means it heavier at the core and starts rolling sooner, creating a stronger arc. The higher differential makes the ball have a wide flare so more clean surface contacts the lane which strengths its hook. Oil allows the ball to get down the lane.

Once you have less head oil, you'll have too much friction and the ball will hook at your feet.

You need a ball with a weaker cover at least. The balls you listed wouldn't be good options. The Hawg Wild is a stronger reactive and I know the Inertia is stronger, too.

Look at the Cherry Vibe, Ebonite's blue or black Ice, Brunswick's BVP line and others in a lower price category. Many of them are great performers for lighter conditions.
