Aloha BR Forum!

It's been some time, for sure.  I hope everyone's well. 

I'd like to thank everybody for the help in advance.

As the title states, I'm in the market for a heavy oil help.  I've been doing a lot of research lately, both on gear and my game, to make the best decision possible.  Here's what I've learned about my game:

• Speed: Between 16.5 - 17.5 mph
• Revs: ~325RPM
• Axis Tilt: ~20°
• Axis Rotation: ~55°

My speed plus my axis tilt/rotation creates so much extra skid at the back of the pattern, that heavier/longer patterns are VERY tricky for me. My rotation also creates a VERY quick response to friction. 

I've tried a few different options for heavy oil.  One was a pin-up aggressive, asymmetric ball (something like 50x4.25x40), and that gave me a ton of over-under.  Another was a pin-down aggressive, asymmetric ball (something like 35x4x75), and the ball read pretty good when the heads were good, but became REALLY jump once the heads started to wear away.  Any sign of friction, and the ball read.  A final option I tried was a pin up aggressive, symmetric ball with what my driller called a "Mo Hole," after Mo Pinel. It was a hole 180° opposite my grip center.  This actually gave me the best results out of the three options, but still had inconsistencies.

With that in mind, I'm thinking of two different options. I'd love your feedback on these options, or any original thoughts you may have for my dilemma.

Option #1: Drilling an aggressive, asymmetric ball (either a Ruckus Feud or a Hyper Cell) pin next to ring, on the shorter side of 3 and 3/8 inches, with the MB kicked out towards the VAL.  Maybe something like 30x3x75.  My thought process here is to layout a ball with tons of built-in hook to flare a lot and set up smoothly after exiting the pattern. And when the lanes breakdown, I'll get a more gradual read of the earlier friction instead of the insta-read that I currently get.

Option #2: Drilling a slightly lesser aggressive, symmetric ball (I'm thinking IQ Tour Nano, Revolt or Forza) as aggressively as possible, and adjusting the surface to 1k or 1.5k abralon. My thought process here is to have the ball flare as much as possible and using surface to create the smoother transition. And since these balls have a relatively weaker cover than the Feud/Hyper Cell, I could use them for longer and maybe even use them to open up the lanes a little bit (when applicable, of course).

And there you have it. What do you guys think? Cheers!
