This sounds vaguely familiar. Not sure if my answers are the same this time around ...

For the money, it''s hard to beat the Freeze. Sharp NoiZe works well also.

I second the freeze. I got one from my buddy and I can use it on any broken down THS.

Sorry. Never threw and rarely saw the Kinetic. It was supposed to be in the same league with the 505A.

Maybe I have to much hand, but the Freeze is way to strong for any dry condition unless you drill the ball with a control layout.

for me the rattler polished is the way to go for drier lanes. I have it,a freeze and a fast,and the rattler is the longest of the three,by a long way. The rattler, for me, is just a touch stronger than my t-zone.Fast drilled pin over mid,freeze and rattler pin over bridge.

I would go with the avalanche pearl (blue/silver) if you can find one.

The Raw Hammer Burn is by far the bes skid flipper.....I have it and it is awesome. I had a 300 game with it earlier this past season. Excellent ball for this condition. It has alot of pop in the backend and just smashes the pocket. It is a pretty forgiving ball as well. This ball will always be in my bag alongside my C300 Bedlam, which is alot smoother and more controllable when the condition calls for it.

I thought about the midnight vibe .. the emerald was also recommended..
any idea how these compare.. I tossed  a midnight and it didn't look like I wanted.. the grip wasn't quite right though so I couldn't toss it exactly like I wanted..

seemed like a good ball overall though..
