EVERY PIN COUNTS!

Looking at your profile, seeing that you bowl 30 games per week and are averaging 150, may I sincerely suggest you find a good local coach? I think you may be practicing the wrong things.

Making most of your 1,2, and 3 pin spares should bring your average up to the 180 mark, at least, especially using a Blue Dot. I'd forego buying any new strike balls, until you get some basics down pat; a new coach or a coach may be the most valuable thing you can do, given the time you have to bowl 30 games a week and the money you have to buy new balls.

There are actually a lot of medium-heavy oil balls around. A lot depends on how you throw the ball: PAP, axis tilt, ball speed, and rotation. Note that there are some that go longer and then hook (like the Deuce, called a hockey-stick) and some that have more gradual arcs (like the Ebonite V2 Sanded). Here are some that a few people have found to be decent balls.

Gradual, arc-like hook:
Brunswick Raging Inferno (particle)
Ebonite V2 Sanded (resin)
Roto-Grip Rush (resin)
Dyno-Thane Element (resin)
Columbia Wicked B/R/T
Storm Super Charge

More hockey stick hook:
Roto-Grip Apocalypse  (resin)
Dyno-Thane Anomaly (resin)
Ebonite Jungle Green
MoRich Hercules

If you want to stick with storm I have heard alot of good things about the Reloaded on medium to heavy oil.  Check out bowlersbargains.com if you don't mind half weights.  You can pick one up for around 110 shipped.
