Purple rhino
Weapon of Mass Bias(its slowly working its way to numero uno)
Purple sumo(odd ball VERY smooth and will hook more than anything in my bag if it finds dry)
My Faball Nail(I actually use this for spares as well as a nice strike ball and spare percentage has gone up since switching to it)
The last one would be either my Gravity shift, or gold rhino(gold rhino has lost a lot of its punch but when all else fails pull it out and I am back) For example on the cheetah I couldnt keep the ball right so I pulled it out and wheeled it and it never once overreacted like everything else.

With great thought of history?  You named 4 balls released in the last 36 months and arguably the most drilling/matchup sensitive ball of all time.  The Helix was a novelty at best....

Ive only been bowling for 11 years, so here's my top 5

Blue Pearl Pulse
Storm Tour Power
Hammer Black Widow
V2 Sanded
Brunswick Original Inferno
