Looking at adding the following Visionary balls

Bronze Cenatur or Orge Solid - replacing the Masterpeice
AMB Particle Cenatur - fulling the flood spot

I just cant decide between Lanemasters or Visionary to cover the lighter patterns (I have heard great things about both companies)

Black Widow
Black Widow Pearl
Saw Blade
Doom
Black Hammer

I am thinking of getting a Vibe for lighter conditions because I only have my Doom for light conditions. I am also thinking of getting a Anger because my heavy oil balls are made for backend so I was thinking of getting a heavy oil ball with more midlane roll.

1. THS league, second shift, so the lanes are usually drier up front, although not too bad on the left side, with moderate carry down.
I'll start the season bringing 3+1.

BW Pearl @ 2000, Awesome Finish, Toxic@ 800 polished
option subsitute AR @ 2000 for Awesome Finish
option subsitute BW @ 2000 for Awesome Finish
option subsitute BV @ 4000 polished for Toxic

2.Modified (heavier and flatter) house shot. I've heard it might be an official sport league this season

I'm rolling heavy to this one 5+1. Some combination of the following.
No Mercy @ 4000
Awesome Revs (pin under) @ 2000
Awesome Revs (asy flip) @ 2000
Black Widow @ 2000
Awesome Finish
Toxic @ 800 polished
BV @ 4000 polished

Hmm, let's see.

Fury-box
Red Zone-box
Classic Zone Violet-box
Classic Zone Red Pin-box-spare ball

One house is very short and dry, and the other house is oily and long with sharp backends, so my arsenal will change depending on house.  My Red Zone and Violet will see the majority of the action all year, but I also expect to use my Depth Charge and Radical on occasion.  My Fury is the ball that works when nothing else does, and I've got a Smokin that will see playing time too.  I'll keep 7 in the car, but probably only carry 3 in.

Same as last year.

Smokin' Inferno
El Nino X-It
Tropical Storm
White Dot

I am looking to pick up a Rampage because it's PowerKoil and it's pearl and I think it'd be a good replacement when my Smokin' goes belly up.

My "Arsenal"

Brunswick Red Zone (OOB)
Visionary Ogre Pearl (OOB)
Lane 1 Crystal Diamond

Just taking those three up to college with me. Hopefully I can keep them in a locker at the bowling alley, so I don't have to wheel my 3-ball bag onto the bus every Saturday morning.

For my JOG qualifiers back home, I'll add my:

Columbia Power Drive Sanded (Sanded with a maroon scotchbrite)
Storm Tropical (will polish up a bit more)

I'm still filling holes but

Blue Centaur particle
Urnium Solid
Hybrid Dirty Bomb
Megatons Hybrid
Tsunami (?)
Trpoical Storm (?)
Lane 1 Pro (light Green)
Sonic X Pearl (?)
XXXL Lane 1
Rubber spare ball.

Still working on a heavier oil ball, not going with the G-Force Solid and the Blue Centuar is for very heavy oil.  The Tropical Storm might be too strong for a light oil ball.

One house I bowl in light oil balls are not necessary.  In another house I bowl in the heavier side of mediums and heavy oil balls are not needed.  Some might over lap like the Solid Uramium and the Hybrid Dirty Bomb and the Megatons Hybrid and the Tsunami so I'll wait and see.  My got to ball right now is the Megatons Hybrid and I might drill my second Megatons to go longer then the first.

Well, currently my league/Tournament arsenal lokks like this:

Brunswick Blue Pearl Target Zone
~3.000 grit steel wool, polished, label drill

Black Pure Hammer
4.000 grit Abralon sheen, pin 5" stacked far above bridge

MoRich Sahara
2.000 grit Abralon, polished, pin 4.5" stacked above ring

MoRich Awesome Finish
1.500 grit polished, pin 4.5" stacked above ring

Visionary Frankie May Gryphon
2.000 grit Abralon sheen, pin 4.25" stacked under ring.

Ebonite XXcel
1.000 grit matte, pin 4.25" stacked above ring


The Sahara is rather an option/alternative to the Pure Hammer, since it allows a very different (deeper) line on similar consitions. And the Awesome Finish is still in the test phase, it should replace my Trauma on medium conditions.
Basically I want to limit myself on maximum 4 balls + spare, but the above is currently my 1st choice.

Special Agent - 1000 or 2000 Abralon grit depending on which pattern
Thunderstruck Solid - Shiny
Mystic - Shiny
T-Road Pearl - Shiny
Blue Dot

I am going to keep my Special at 2000 grit unless I am playing on the Shark or Scorpion.  In those cases, I like to hit it up with some 1000 Abralon so it can dig in for the hole pounding.

In my regular league, I am probably only going to need the Thunderstruck and the Mystic.
