If you're looking at current releases, probably the Xception, an original X-Factor, more or less any reactive pearl with a MB.  Older releases include the Vicious Pearl, and i'm sure there's others i'm missing...

If you wanna get really technical, just include balls with a measurable mass bias.

The Track Havoc is supposed to be for medium to lighter conditions.  It had a weakly asymmetric core, but was still asymmetric.

if done right any ball with a strong MB and a shell that adjust well can go long.

search the track forums for a write up on my findings.

long story short. I had 2 unleashed's. 1 OOb finish pin 3" above grip line, 4 x4.5.

big backend ball chewed up longer oil patterns for me. the other, 5 x 6 or something like that. pin down. polished highly. light oil monster.

these balls could not be more different from each other. the shells made a big difference of course, but the strong MB when placed on the track side of the ball will help the ball dynamics maintain the tilt longer. allowing the core to help the shell get length and retain energy to hit the pins.

throwing the second ball on any fresh pattern was like throwing a plastic ball.

I would think that the exception with a  5 x 6 pattern would work great.

at least for me I have found this to be the case
symmetrical balls = versatility across more patterns. work better with basic drillings
asymmetrical ball = better condition specific balls. makes better use of exotic or more radical drillings.

any strong asymetrical ball can be made to go long with the proper drill and cover prep.......I'd say.......

the Ravage, and Shock and Awe if done correctly.......but if you can wait....
Mo's new release in June (I think) will be a Punisher cover on a ravage core!!!
........hoochie momma!!

thanks for suggestions....will do some homework....

should have clarified some though...am aware of MB in most balls...just looking for one's that are clearly labeled, sold, and behaves like an strong asymmetric....but go long w/out burning up....do think the exception is too strong for what I'm looking for...

already have a wmb....mirror-type polish w/a 1:15 layout (degree system if familar w)....so that's about max length for that ball....still too strong for shot am trying to conquer....thinking about a big blue from hammer or maybe one of the suggested balls.....

the 1:15 layout does not work very well in weak mb or sym. balls....just my two cents....anyways more thoughts on the subject would be terrific...

sounds like you're looking for the Sahara (punisher cover w/the ravage core) drill it like the WMB .........

I think a S&A drilled the same as your WMB may be too strong too.....

Definitely look into the limited Zone Classic w/Red Pin. I drilled mine 5.75 x 4.25(pin x MB), pin over bridge, and this ball goes a looooong way down before turning, and, for me, no uncontrollable jerk to the left when it hits dry. It's exactly what I wanted for short sport shots and toasty late shift conditions.

I was astonished to see my new Xxcel in box condition go down the lane 45' and then turn sharply - on a 40' crown pattern with medium+ oil. Never expected this from a partcile ball, even with a length drill (pin at 1:00 from ring, PSA at 75°, 3 1/2" pin-out). If the Xxcel can be made to react this way, I'd say the Xcel pearl must be a real flipmonster on lighter conditions!

Why don't you look into getting a Visionary Crimson Executioner. I would suggest a Visionary Green Gargoyle, but it's MB is not marked (but if you look at web site, weight block isn't symmetric). Ialso use an Ebonite OPTYX Illusion with PHENOMENAL results...
