What are the best mid/upper mid strength bowling balls that have a relatively smooth reaction?

Not sure the LT is mid to upper mid, but I'll second the Covert Revolt, and will also second the Venom Shock, which is actually quite a bit stronger than marketed.  Both very smooth, the Shock is a bit cleaner off the spot with more of a defined breakpoint, though still very smooth.

Assuming this is the new one.  This ball looked very interesting.  What condition do you use this ball on?

The Dude is the smoothest ball i've thrown and the only ball i've been able to control with polish on it.

Anything except extreme dry and extreme heavy oil for me.  On fresh house shots I play close to friction and the ball just reads the dry perfectly, in my opinion.  No skid/snap for me once I tweaked the surface.  Beautiful reaction and carry.

Box condition IQ solid is about the smoothest moving ball I have thrown.  When it polishes up to the lane, it gets a bit more angular, but still smooth.  The new LT 48 is intriguing, but I think it is more of a ball you can play straighter with in the dirt.  Big core difference between the two.  IQ is a very low rg core, but also low flare.
