Anyone thats able to play right up along the oil line on house shot, what equipment give you the best look? Mid range solid with surface? Low end with polish?

Just about everything I have takes off way too early but I enjoy feeding them straight down and not having to bend it all the time on house.

Something that's a smooth shape, hook potential doesn't matter terribly depending on what you can do to the ball.  Could be a Dare Devil Trick or a Hot Cell depending on the specifics, but has to be a smooth shape.

Do you think the Ink with shorter 4" pin and 2k surface has a chance at that spot, or does it just flat out conserve to much energy and would jump too much on the backend?

Depending on volume, I'll use a strong early solid so it doesn't jackknife off the friction, but will actually read the lane if I get it in. That creates the most mistake area for me. So I'll use a Darkness or X.

I agree as why I mentioned it was always be exceptions for different bowler's.  But in general, the VAST majority of equipment does not NEED to always jack knife off the end of the pattern either.

At anytime in this games history have I seen SO MANY bowlers'  having to play inside 4th arrow (Including me and I'm on the left side of the lane)  That is NOT the norm from how the game was;  smh.

I completely agree and was being pedantic.  Forgot who but as one of the regulars on here posted when bowler's ask me what ball to get I tell them to get Hy-Road if they want to score on THS and those that ignore the advice and buy a Sure Lock or Snap Lock instead usually regret it.  10 year old middle of the road balls aren't as sexy but people learn.  That said buying me a More Cash and decided to drill it max flare after all because I already have plenty of middle of road (including a Hy-Road) and weak balls and with my style it will probably be viable on fresh house shot (not going to lie will probably have to change the surface though).  Even with all that ball 3rd arrow is probably about as far left as I am getting due to low revs and low track and speed dominant.  Still imagine for my doubles league will be using my Hy-Road for game 3 if not some of 2.  Honestly if anything my arsenal was too smooth heavy for my style until I went out and got this latest monster (only other solids are IQ Tour and Burgundy Hammer for example).  But I hear you.

If it's synthetic something with an early core helps it not over react going up the boards.  For me it's the respect hybrid.

Wood, anything low end with polish.

The further out I want to play the less jerk I want to see down lane.  Having said that, people often don't realize that 80% of ball reaction comes from your release (rev rate, axis rotation, speed).  If I am a lower speed, high axis rotation guy, it is going to be hard to find a ball that let's me hug the oil on a house shot.  Likewise if I am rev dominant. 

There is no question that us teeeners, and low rev guys get a better reaction when we can play more direct.  However sometimes the only way for us to play direct is with something like urethane, and carry is always problematic with urethane.
