I currently have in the bag a Pursuit, Defiant, Totally Defiant, and a Versa-Max.
I just saw the info on the Radical release of the Reax v2 Pearl.
I AM getting a Hyper Cell shortly after it drops, from my mom for my 30th birthday. The Totally Defiant is becoming very condition specific due to it not being able to handle much carry down oil. If I either had the weight hole moved to a flare killing position, or took the surface to 4000 (+/- Polish), I think it could make a nice dryer lane ball. Thought about replacing the Totally as a primary ball with the Reax 2 Peal if I can get a second ball.
The Defiant or Pursuit could fight for spots in the bag.
Too many good looking options for balls out there...also wouldn't mind getting back into Hammer or Track, or adding an HP2 or HP3 line Roto, or giving a peak at MOTIV... ugh. too many choices....lol

I agree with you on the totally, but once I took it to 4k no polish, its a beast on med to med/heavy. Best decision I ever made was when I was looking for a oiler to go above my train, and I stepped out of my box and went with a pyramid chosen path solid. Wow what a ball! So now my arsenal is chosen path, train, totally, and double clutch pearl.

I'm kind of banking on the Hyper Cell to be an absolute oil beast. Most of my stuff will be drilled pin up, thumb kicked out to right with about a 23-27 degree angle between the line from fingers to thumb and line from pin to bomb. The Defiant in the bag now has a Pin Out, Double thumb(ish) drill, and I've found that to be a fix when 10 pins just won't go away in the house I play, so it stays in my 5 ball roller, atleast when we play on 1&2. I have a crown spare. so the 4 slots will likely be Hyper Cell, Defiant, Totally(4K), and VersaMax. with Pursuit, a Second Defiant drilled differently(purge-able, and a Profit(purge-able).
I would almost like to see a weaker Pearl/Pearlized, or a mid-aggressive solid/hybid go in place of the VersaMax or Totally for going to league.
Yes, I take a 5 ball bag to THS league, cause it is the most in-consistent house I think I've seen ever....

Sounds like you bowl at a place with out any consistency like me.

Wood Lanes, Cheapest oil on the market, surprised it is not Conola or motor oil, and don't always clean the Kegel Kustodian, making the back ends not always fresh and crisp, depends on what the open bowling does to them over the weekend.
