I am sure we all of varying methods of setting up a arsenal. How do you do yours?

I try to be brand loyal but this season has not been kind to that. As few variables as possible, so for example I have two Elite Warriors one pin up one pin down. The least amount of cover core combos the better.

Good question. It will be interesting to see the variety of answers.

I carry six balls with me and tend to cycle through all of them. The house shots we see at the houses in my area are varied at best, but I like it since it keeps everybody on their toes and not knowing exactly what's coming next.

As for the setup itself I like to keep a heavy oil asymmetric with surface, a medium-heavy oil asymmetric that's usually polished, a light-medium oil symmetric hybrid or solid with surface, a light-medium symmetric polished pearl, a plastic spare ball, and then the fifth ball depends on what I'm getting out of the two symmetrics.

Shapes, not balls. I'll drill many and change surfaces until I "see" what makes me comfortable. I don't really do the whole "heavy oil" or "medium-heavy" stuff.

When building my arsenal, I try to start with my benchmark ball to see where my strengths and weaknesses are at and then build around it. If I have a very good benchmark ball that I like, then I try to stick with balls with a similar coverstock or core if I'm going a step up or step down from my original benchmark ball. As far as layouts, I typically stick with two that I'm comfortable and then tweak with the surface adjustment as needed.
