im lookin for ideas on balls old and new that dont rev up early. it needs to be able to handle heavy oil and carrydown, yet make its break really late. my dad throws a ball that revs up early ,makes its break then sort of dies into the pocket. yet he averages 200. he leaves many corners and his hits are never solid because the ball isnt charging to the pocket when it needs to. every ball he has thrown is a early rev ball like ebonites pantera and zones. any suggestions?

I am sure many others will chime in with a similar point of view, but,for heavy oil and/or carrydown, no effective ball goes really long and then hooks a lot in the backend. Balls designed for medium heavy oil can have more length and more backend thjan those designed for truly heavy oil.
Of course, "long" and "heavy" oil are both relative terms. You may mean "long" with respect to your father's length. I am not sure what that is. He may be just too used to his balls and he lives with their length and drive and is comfortable with them. Maybe if he does leave a lot of weak corner pins, he needs just a slight shine (NOT a lot) on one of his balls. Maybe he just nees to move a little deeper.
If you could give a little more detail on what you are now using, how it's drilled, your estimated speed, and rev rate, maybe your father's ball length, under "normal circumstances, all in order to give more relativity and to allow us (I am sure several people will respond to your request for help) to make an educated guess.
