FLOOD ball suggestions?

15#, 3-3.5, 3.75top
Pin over ring (1:30)
CG kicked lil right
mass bias in strong position

Med to Med/Dry
Storm Eraser Boost
15#, 2.5-3, 2.75top
Pin over ring (12:00)
CG grip center
mass bias on track

Dry and Spare
Columbia Bud II U-Dot

The AMF Angle Evolution Tour absolutely rules on heavy oil and since it is available at closeout prices there can be no question it is THE heavy oil ball to have if you can find one in your preferred weight.

Why spend over $200 for another ball that does the same thing as a ball you can get for less than $100? I just can't see doing that.

Brunswick Swamp Monster, Columbia WOW, Columbia ICON 300, Track Super Freak, Ebonite Apex Agression, although the first two are my choices, and the nice thing about those is they're mid price as well.

If your talking rooster tail, can't get a thing to wrinkle oil, check out Visionary's Scorcher.  Get a 3 to 4 inch pin and not a lot of top.  Go axis leverage putting your cg on your PAP and the pin in between on a line from your fingers to your cg.  This puts the mass bias in the serious "roll" position and I have to tell you this is an amazing oil ball.  Probably will take a weight hole to keep it within a specs.

Gives you area on a flood shot and is easier to read with this drill than the more conventional drills.  Amazing hit.

Plenty of suggestions here...  Time to check out the reviews section and find what bowlers that have a similar style to your own have to say about some of these oil monters.

Good luck!

Here lately, I've been using the Trauma Response on the heavy soup.  I'm using a green ScotchBrite crosshatch scuff on it, with Doc's Elixer (to keep the oil OUTSIDE of the ball).
