My fall league starts fairly soon and I have realized a problem. The house I bowl at doesnt put alot of oil down. Alot of my arsenal is geared towards medium-heavy oil...(Warrior, Warrior Elite) (I plan on getting into tournaments). My benchmark ball is my Gamebreaker 2, and I keep it at the box surface. My last ball is my Black Hammer Urethane. I would say my speed is moderately high, usually around 17-18mph and no clue on my rev rate, I just know I'm not a cranker.
With my gamebreaker 2, even on the fresh, I typically have to swing the ball out towards the first arrow to keep it in play. With my speed, I like to play down and in typically. I'm in search of something that would give me more snap/angularity than I could get with my black hammer. Any suggestions?

If you're looking to stay ebonite, I'd go with either a Cyclone or Track Heat.

Option #1 Track Heat
Option #2 Hammer Viral Hybrid
Option #3 C300 Nitrous
Option #4 just about any ball labeled for medium-light conditions

Thanks alot! Ill definitely look into the suggestion pieces.

do not forget about the Gamebreaker 2 gold If you like the gamebreaker2 the gold will give you the length you need on shorter patterns.

Some good suggestions above it looks like already for you. Sticking with the EBI family, I would second the Heat and also maybe toss in the Hammer Rebel.

Something polished. I think the only Ebonite family ball that might fit what you're looking for and hasn't been mentioned yet is the Sideswipe coming out for Columbia 300. Hard to go wrong with any of them, but if you're a higher speed/medium revs bowler then the slightly stronger options might be your best bet. Gamebreaker 2 Gold would be my choice.

The GB2 Gold is definitely an option as well. Polished seems the way to go. The GB2 Gold and the Track Heat are my top choices at the moment. I've considered other brands as well...but I have this strange loyalty to Ebonite...as I am from Hopkinsville where their HQ is. Might call up an employee and get a ball for cheap.
