If you were limited to using "TWO" balls this year and one was a plastic spare ball, (Possibly a Mr. Snuffy for Siniak,
), what would the other one be?. It does not have to be a new model, it could be an oldy but goody.
I am leaning towards my Vicious but am considering buying an Inferno.

An Inferno would be a decent choice. Without throwing one though, I couldn't commit to it being my 1 ball.
Personally on a THS I would stick with my Voodoo. I can hit it with some surface on oilier nights, and I can be sure it's going to be a consistant reaction.
The power of a solid resin seems to be underrated these days.
-
I'd like to try an Inferno or a Turbo Diesel. Haven't tried either but from the specs and the reviews I've read they both sound like balls you could use on more than one condition.
If I had to go with something I knew would work, I'd pick my timberwolf pearl. I don't mind playing the pointing game on heavier oil and it's a lot easier to control on dry/rundown conditions compared to my diesel.
Btw, could you make that plastic ball a mr. snuffy? I've always wanted one of those

I would probably stick with my Smash/R. Although in it's current state it needs some dry, if I altered the surface a bit, it would be pretty useful on most conditions.

V2 Solid
--------------------
If it isn't EBONITE it isn't bowling........
-
Blueberry Buzzsaw sans any form of plastic ball!
-
Hmm,
What about Storm's Eraser Blaze or Boost?
Ok,if that doesn't work a Trauma Recovery?
...or a Track VooDoo or Mojo?
a,,aaa Hammer Sling Blade?
I might have it,aaaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!
Try the Hammer Vicious Attack!Thats swinging towards a
Vicious,I think(aka I hope thats you're aiming for).
Annnnnnnn,you decide which ball ya want when this post is done!
Haaaaaaaaa,just throwing some examples.
Done!

Track Triton Elite Pearl. I did this when I moved a few yrs ago for my 11 mths in California I only had room for 1 ball in my car till the the rest of hte stuff arrived. by the way at that time I shot my high series at that time (2000) of 713

An X-Factor and an Ebonite Illusion, forget the plastic

But if I had to have plastic as one, i'd say either the Track Threat or Lane Master's Extreme Impact.
-
My choice would be my pearl 3D offset hammer (fabal) drilled 45 degrees on axis and columbia blue dot.
-
charcoal executioner, control drilling and light polish.

Pantera - then just adjust the grit from 1000 - 1500.

DARK BEER IT IS THEN!

If I had to be stuck with one ball out of my current arsenal it would be my Thrash. I can cover any condition with it except alot of oil....and I think a quick 600-800grit sanding would take care of that.

Has no one heard of MoRich?
The Supreme is my #1 choice.

Hmm, probably my Time Zone. Don't know how versatile it is, really, but it's my most controllable, and the one I feel the most comfortable with.

would consider between...
Columbia WOW Pearl
Track Crunch
Both extremely versitile......coverstock easy to manipulate.....and both hit like a ton and won't dent the wallet much at all....

First choice is Blueberry Buzzsaw. Second is the Inferno. Third V2 Solid.
-
Blueberry saw.
-
Of the balls I currently own, I'd probably go with the Pro Purple. If I was buying a new ball for a one-ball league, it would be either the new Cranberry Buzzsaw or a V2 solid.

I would say right now, it's my Retro Blue Roto. Pin 4.5 from my PAP. Pin under ring finger. I can play the crack to 5th arrow depending on lane condition. This ball played well for me in the Storm Challenge in Knoxville.

I looked over the list of balls I have and found this question difficult to answer. I've always taking three balls to my competition .. now if I had only one to depend on would make it tough.
A lot will disagree with me but I find the EBONITE RED SPARKLE PREDATOR a favorite of mine!

Question: You're using the Colussus Supreme for all conditions??? That's a lot of ball.
I'd probably scuff the polish off my Ebonite Matrix Dynasty and give it a whirl. That or I'd use my Shock Zone.

Yes i can use the Supreme on most of the conditions that i run in to thru hand positions and ball speed.Remember this was a two ball question. When they get to burnt up i would move right and use the plastic.
FYI
All i use is MoRich stuff and have great success with them.
My balldriller has my new OnSlaught and will be drilling this the first week of Sept.

Glen, when I first saw the core of the Onslaught I thought awesome...and I thought it looked alot like the Track Phenom core. Well, I just drilled a Phenom for a friend of mine, and he had Mo Pinel drill an Onslaught for him. There is no comparison. The Onslaught seemed like a dud. I guess I expected too much out it. It does not seem to be half of the ball that they Hercules is. Atleast for him it isn't.
-
Excaliber,
Well like i have said before, not every ball is for everyone. My driller who is Randy Harvey and a member of the senior tour seems to think that this ball will if into my arsenal just fine. I have put a lot trust in his choices so far and have not been disappointed yet.
I will have to let you know what happens after i try it out.

has to be a buzzsaw black cherry bomb

Colossus Pearl for me. Keep it shined up for "league" conditions, higher polish or more speed for shorter patterns and dull it to 320 for heavier/longer patterns. Mine is drilled 4 x 3 leverage and it works great so far on a couple of different shots. Second choice would be Pioneer, except heavy oil it wouldnt move unless I threw it 12mph.
--------------------
If I could only pick up a 7 pin.....
-
blueberry buzzsaw.
-
Lane#1 Pro Purple Buzzsaw
--------------------

Probably my new Blade Pearl I've been able to play oil and dry!
2nd choice and I use more often because of oil I see my EZ Money.

Blueberry Buzzsaw

Columbia Reaction Arc. This ball has not died. I've had it resurfaced 4 times,
polished, had the polish taken back off.
Best ball I've had in the last 2 years for a THS.
5 x 5 drill pin just above and slightly right of the ring finger.
But that's for me on anything from a medium-heavy to a light oil shot on wood lanes.
