list off some of the best smooth bowling balls for med/light oil. Thanks

900 Global X is probably your best bet, although it's hard to find a smooth reaction on light/medium patterns. At least that's how it's been in my experience.

+1 on the 900 Global X. Also, a Break Down, or Chemical X are also good options.

You could try layout changes to get the ball to do something different. Short pin to PAP on a symmetrical and a hole on the midline for good measure will smooth out the ball roll. As well, you can try Urethane just do a good amount of surface to combat the lack of oil absorption.

Larger VAL angles smooth out many balls, as does the very basic concept of sanding a polished ball to 2000, 3000 or even 4000 grit.

The equivalent is true of asymmetric cores: Moving the PSA/MB towards the PAP/VAL can smooth out the ball reaction a lot.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Rebel Tank. Pearl urethane with a light bulb core.

If you can find one-I LOVE my Blue/Green Centaur. Never over reacts!

I can't believe Visionary doesn't make this anymore.

I've had way too many people offer to buy this ball from me! NOPE!

But then all urethanes are supposed to be very smooth ...

Understood, but if you're on light oil, use a ball that won't check up in the heads.
