What I am looking for is the combination of core and covertock (in a current ball) that offers really good potential for a ball that goes long and makes an immediate left on the dry. I'm talking about a ball that has a very angular move as soon as it hits the dry and can cover a lot of boards in a short time. (Note: this ball will be for my brother; specs and game are similar to mine). Conditions will be medium oil house shot, 35-37' long. Ball specs will be 14 or 15 lb, 3 inch pin.
Company manufacturer unimportant - we'll consider all reasonable suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

I'd say:
Ebonite One Pearl
Ebonite Magic Touch
Hammer Hot Sauce Pearl
--------------------
My Arsenal:
Rogue Cell (coming soon)
Bounty(4.5 x 4.75 Fresh 1000 Abralon)
Twisted Fury(5 x 4 500 Abralon + Reacta Shine)
Raw Hammer Pain(Leverage 1000 Abralon)
Blue Vibe(5 x 5 4000 Abralon + Reacta Shine)

Lane #1 Colbalt Bomb pearl
Lane #1 Chainsaw Massacre
Storm Street Rod pearl
Storm Fast
Morich Awesome Flip
Hammer Hot Sauce
Roto-Grip Mars
Roto-Grip Neptune
you really cant go wrong with any of these balls. they all work very well on mediums with the exception of the mars and the neptune which shine on the lighter side of mediums. but if i had to pick just one off this list it would be without a doubt the Colbalt Bomb pearl. it is for me the most angular ball i have ever thrown and i have thrown alot of them. hope this helps and good luck with your selection.

I personally would look at some of the mid level stuff, you are going to need some easy length to get to a break point to utlilize the snappiness
Sorry cant offer up many suggestions as I have been out of the game as far as anything non lane 1
but I will say for a mid priced ball, both the Link by 900 Global and the new Gemstone are very misleading. I am sure some of the new big b stuff in the mid line could fill this too. Also the new Sideways by AMF looks pretty good as well and for a few more bucks the upcoming Seismic Epicenter looks good. Dont let the dynamo x2 fool you either, great length with a ton of recovery

When I throw it my team mates say I thought it was never coming back. Its ok for med to light oil. On a sport shot you must stay up the back or it will skid to much. I have bowled 300/805 with it. and best thing low priced about $120. so it payed for its self many times.
