I was fine until I got to the Action Packed and then I kind of paused. I'm even a little skeptical about the Paradigm for medium (it seems a little stronger than that for me), but I don't know how you have these drilled. A weaker drill on a Paradigm could make it fit medium easily.

But an Action Packed for medium-light? Yowzers...not on any "medium-light" I've ever seen. That's a medium AT LEAST ball, IMO.

The CrossFire would probably be medium light. I might look into adding something like a Roto Grip Mercury below it. Otherwise, you're fine. But I think you've got some overrun in that Vapor Zone-Paradigm-Action Packed trio.

I didn't get the Action Packed yet I was still undecided about it, The rest I have and yes the Paradigm is drilled not that agressive, and my crossfire has a very weak drill on it. What would be good for a Med/Light condition, more for a over/under some carry down.

How are they drilled and what is the surface prep on each.

They're all box, and the Infinite I have is strong in the mid, the Radical is Long and hard snap, Vapor is even, Paradigm is similar to the Radical but not as aggressive in the backend, Crossfire is WEAK

Sadly my Shop doesn't carry Roto stuff... Any other balls, maybe like a Jolt/Pyro, something from Storm, since they're known to go long

BVP Ramage would work nicely. Still may be a little stronger than you want but you can drill that ball to be very mild.

A Tropical Storm would do well, too.

My driller loves the Columbia Jynx (not the HiJynx) for medium-light.

If you can find one, an Ebonite Ice is a great ball for the money, very even on dry shots and very tuneable.

I had the Tropical once... Went longer than my Spare ball at the time, Rampage is a little too strong. Jinx is also a good ball which will go up there on my list

Since you don't already have the Action Packed I would pass cause you already have a ton of stuff to cover mediums.
This is based on what I have seen of them.
Infinite will handle most any heavy condition you will find and if it isn't moving nothing else is going to either at the same surface prep.
Paradigm good on med/hvy with clean backends or med with slight carrydown can get squirty on higher levels of carrydown.
Vapor Zone good for mediums handles carrydown fairly well.
Crossfire nice control piece for med/lt.
Radical no experience but based on the vids at b'wick.com and their description good for mediums very strong in the backend on med/hvy maybe a bit hard to control on this, absolutely kills it on medium.

I think that you have a ton of overlap on mediums and no true med/hvy or lt ball.
A nice compliment to the Infinite would be the Big One with the surface around 1000-1500 sheen/smooth.
A step below the Crossfire - Desert Heat
