My mission is drilled with my fav drilling, pin under bridge(5" p2p) 70ºmb with a low weight hole.  My fast is drilled exactly the same.

Now, im looking for something thats just a couple boards weaker than my mission, but with a different look.

a few balls im looking at....

C-system 3.5 - probably too strong
C-system 2.5
Another mission drilled weaker(duh)
Pure Swing or something from the swing line
Reign or Reign of Fire
Virtual Energy

Anything anyone can come up with is greatly appreciated.

Onyx Vibe is an overlooked ball, awfully strong for the price point and pretty smooth, not going to be as strong but it'll give you a different look.

I have a Mission drilled similar (same pin no weighthole), and my "step-down" ball is a Hot Sauce (drilled with a basic pin above ring 5X3 layout). Definitely weaker than the Mission overall (3 maybe 4 boards on "real" oil), but has more length and a touch more angle at the breakpoint. I think it would be perfect for what you are looking for.

Well, once again, i have VERY little room above the mission, at least for a while.

I dont have the extra time to bowl many tournaments, & all of the house conditions i hit are more than dry enough to make my mission seem REALLY strong.

I may just go ahead & drill up a 3.5 & polish it up, simply because i want to drill one.

My MAIN choices(at least to me) right now are the 2.5, 3.5, & another mission. Nothing else really excites me, although the Pure swing looks nice & i havent drilled a c300 ball in over 10 years.

I have a pure swing that should be here tomorrow.  It is definitely the ball, I have chosen to be a little weaker than my mission.  Currently, I'm in the process of updating all my old equipment due to the fact I have not been bowling seriously since 1999.  Jan 2010 is the first league I've joined since then and I currently have a 206 avg.  Tuesday or Wednesday I'll be posting a review on the pure swing.

2010 is the first time joining a league since 1999.  Over a 10 year lay off and haven't lost much of my game.   This year currently HG-279, HS-733.

i went with a polished ROF with 50x5x35 layout and it works well can bump my feet a couple boards and lock it in
