Mine is currently a well-worn Totally Defiant at 2000.

For the lanes I bowl on it's a Track Mx05 or a polished Track Lx05.

My trusty pin-up Marvel Pearl...can cover from dry to medium-heavy with a couple Abralon pads and different hand positions. A very versatile benchmark for me.

IQ Tour Solid or Original Gamebreaker.
Tried the 900 Global X but it kept shooting past the breakpoint.

900 Global X. Slightly milder for me than a typical benchmark but reads the lanes and pattern so consistently that there are no surprises. Drift is looking very good too for a polished hybrid. Need more reps with that to give accurate feedback.
