First of all....what ball motion do you want to complement it?  How does your Psycho roll?  What do you not like about the Emerald Vibe?

going stronger I like the 505 A or C both really great rolling balls at the price point. If you want alot stronger go to the 715A this ball is a beast clears the heads nicley and just absolutly takes off. This is the only skid flip ball that is predictable in my mind and I have had a few. Track with there 3 serieses is really got somthing unique and very useful.

seeing more oil last couple weeks they changed pattern, use to be light oil then by third game dry side emerald was good for that. now medium oil start with psycho then by third game stated to really stuggle ball wont hook figure because of carry down. i tried to adjust but i dont throw a big hook and when i throw it down and in hooks to much threw the nose or brooklyn. thinking a dull ball jigsaw,sting,acid from hammer but i want to hear everybody else opioins before i make my purchase soon. i know i didn't say what i was i looking for exactly i just wanted to hear suggestions in general on what would compliment the psycho. then make my mind up on what to get.

Sounds like yu would need to go stronger overall but still have recovery/continuation down lane.  I would recommend the Full Swing from Columbia.  It rolls pretty similar to the original Black Widow but IMO, more and better continuation through the pins.  We recently had a Ebo/Ham/Col/Track demo at the center I work at and the Full Swing when the lanes were tight, was unreal.  We also had the Sting, 715A, Jigsaw, and Bedlam.  The Full Swing was probably the ball that everyone seemed to like, followed by the Bedlam, then the 715A.  The Sting and Jigsaw were pretty much hit or miss depending on who we spoke to.  Hope this helps a little more towards making a decision.

Since you say you don't throw big hook may want 2 look at a full pearl like the cool noize. Ball is oob at 2000. At 2000 can handle more oil but still finish like a pearl. Few other ideas would be track 930 , original noize , or any pearl with surface

I like the Cool Noize idea.  Maybe you could look at the Wild Thing and C-System 2.5 as well.

ok guys thanks for the ideas. talk to my proshop guy he suggested a reign with pin up agressive drilling. probably going to go with that he drills my stuff and again thanks for all the ideas i discussed every suggestion you guys made. hes watched me bowl so is the only reason I'm going with the reign. on side note i might be getting a vid camera so might be posting vids next year
