for me, it's these two....lane masters power strike and blue hammer

Lane Masters Wasp series are pretty even also.
Storm Tropical Storm Hybrid and the Ride are pretty even, in general.
Brunswick LT-48 Vintage is very even, as is the Fanatic BTU.

i wish i got the TBH when it was available...

The LT48 is smooth too, but on lighter conditions it's hard for me to keep this ball right.

If you want to ball out and import an international piece... I highly recommend Storm pieces with the NRG Smooth coverstocks. Absolutely nothing like it in the states

Storm NRG Smooth pieces:
Marvel Maxx (discontinued)
Marvel Maxx 2 (discontinued)
Nano Lock
Virtual Gravity N/S
Marvel Maxx Gold
Wild Bite Extreme


Marvel Maxx Gold (now very scarce)

Nano Lock (now very scarce)

Virtual Gravity N/S (on sale)

Wild Bite Extreme (newest)

One ball that has not been mentioned that is smooth as butter is the Brunswick Fanatic;  a benchmark price that offers a smooth, but controllable motion,  with great predictably throughout the entire lane.

Buttery smooth and my go-to ball is still the Storm Ride.  If I need a little more length with a little more pop, then out comes the Joy Ride.   8)

My vote would be the Rack Attack Grape Solid. Smooth and predictable.

The Tropical Storm IS the Tropical Breeze. They just changed the name to get more sales. The Hybrid is still there; in fact, Buddies still uses the picture of the Tropical Breeze in their web page for the Tropical Storm.

looks like I'm going to try a Global X. I've read to many post suggesting the BTU was stronger then expected.

I 2nd the IQ Tour solid with a pin down layout.  The ball is the definition of smooth.

+1 My freakshow is also far from smooth, very snappy off the breakpoint. Just as strong, and even stronger than some of my medium pieces.

Guess it's just me and my low rev rate and such then :P
Well I am bowling with the Freak Show the most these days. Only play on medium oil really. I've played on a sports pattern once, and not even the Grudge ball I have would hook on it for me :P
