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.

Hammer The Sauce, 1000 grit abralon surface.. It will handle probably anything. I'm afraid to bring mine that low.

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.
