900 Global Bank Roll or Train. One is asymetrical, one is symmetric.

The two heaviest rolling balls I own are the Brunswick Leathal Revolver and the DV8 Reckless. Both of those are drilled pin down about 4.5" from my axis with no hole (70 by 4.5" by 70). Both give me tons of midlane roll and reads any pattern extremely well. That being so, both are GREAT for fresh patterns, especially fresh sport patterns. I have the Leathal being about 4-5 boards stronger than the Reckless with both at 4000 grit. Both give me a similar shape but obviously I prefer the Reckless on medium-ish patterns and the Leathal more for med-heavy to heavy patterns.

The Track 919C picks up the midlane well and has a heavy roll on the backend.  It's a great ball for medium-medium heavy conditions and gives me a look that benefits the arsenal.  Also gives a lot of versatility too.

Some of you may not like this suggestion, but most rollier balls on the market cost more then 140$ bucks. They have the big cores,etc. there are though some exceptions like the Mission 2.0, 811SE, Taboo Dark, so forth that come to mind... Most of your non-rolly balls will cost around 90-130 bucks.

There is a few Rolly balls I can suggest

Storm=Marvel

Ebonite=GameBreaker

Track=715T

Hammer=Taboo

Roto Grip=Theory

Brunswick=Nexus Solid

Columbia=Ransom Demand

 

There a ton of good options giving the correct layout. There are even some skid flip ball out there that can be turned into rolly stuff with a tad bit of surface and the right pin placement. Hope that helps, John

Rolling balls are core heavy. You should look for a ball that has an RG of 2.430 to 2.540.  This is the range for LOW RG core heavy balls.

You know, we never asked you what conditions you needed to use it on. That would have been a good start. Rolly on mediums and rolly on heavy is two different things.

The Lane #1 Pink Panther and Black Panther are a couple of the smoothest, heaviest rolling balls I've thrown in recent memory.

When Brunswick was in its prime they made the rolliest stuff on the market.  The thing that they did well was have great continuation even after the ball started to "stand up" in the midlane.  Other balls that had a similar look in the midlane burned out going into the back end. 

 

Today I think a lot of companies are making good rolling equipment.  The Missions are all good rolling balls.  Storm Anarchy is pretty rolly for a pearl.
