Centaur Particle, followed by Yeah Baby, then Buzzbomb.

I have to go with Ogre Particle which hooks at your toes or Break S-75 in box with a strong drilling on it.
For me the Ogre Particle is going left by the arrows even on medium-heavy shots where anything else keeps going down lane before turning. Polished the Ogre particle up and it still needs medium-heavy to clear the fronts, very interesting cheap ball to say the least.

When choosing a "heavy oil" ball, you have to consider a few things: Is this oil condition "heavy oil" or "a flood!!" How long is the oil pattern? How clean are the backends?
If you are on a true absolute flood, particle is your friend. Otherwise, you can probably use a strong reactive that will eventually help burn up a friction spot.
The next question is what kind of reaction do you need? Are you looking for a rolly, controllable ball, or are you looking for something that has a little more backend snap? For example, you might use a Dimension when the backends are spotty and slick and you need to rely more on the midlane to get the ball to face up to the pocket. If you have a shot that gives you a little more room on the back part of the alne to bring it back, the Virtual Gravity will give you a stronger, more angular backend reaction while still picking up quite a bit in the midlane.
And, as always, remember to square up some and stay behind the ball to create earlier roll and a better ball roll when facing heavier oil conditions.

who gives a f--- how much it hooks. If it works on heavy oil and is consistent, isn't that all that matters.
