I am getting ready to buy another ball to add to my arsenal before fall leagues start next week. What I have in the bag now is a Rogue Cell, a Break Point and a Link. The Rogue Cell is the strongest ball I have. The 900 Global Link I believe will take care of any dry conditions that I might find and to me the Break Point isnt as strong as I thought it would be and fits in the middle. What would you add to this arsenal??? Do you think I need something stronger than a Rogue Cell or do I need a really good pearlized ball to fit my arsenal. I am open to any suggestions and ball manufacturer doesnt really matter, I have no real preference.

If I needed just 1 more ball, I'd personally go with something to fill the gap between your Break Point and Link. Maybe an Onyx Vibe, Rattler, or Cool Noize.

But like a lot here would probably say, knowing your playing style and what types of conditions you play on most frequently would help in getting some recommendations.

I personally can not use a Link on a dry condition. I have found that many of the newer 900G/AMF balls with medium to lower cover strength numbers (Link, Maniac, Lunatic, Clutch) are all stronger than their cover numbers indicate. That said, I still think that you have a pretty big gap from the Rogue/Break Point to the Link.
I think either of the Nomads would fit well between your current setup. If the Link is too much on dry, I have found the Mars and Neptune to handle dryer conditions better. Though I have yet to try it, I will likely also add a Storm Natural for dryer conditions to my own arsenal.

I really dont believe that I am going to hit dry enough conditions where I bowl that I will need the Mars or Neptune. Thats why I was thinking maybe I needed a strong pearl piece or something else.

Cell pearl is a strong pearl but IMHO overlaps the Rogue. I think a medium strong pearl, like the Nomad pearl, would fill the gap you're trying to fill.

The Virtual Energy would be a step down from your Rogue and give you a strong move on the back.

The Furious would give you a similar shape of hook to your Rogue but for a little less volume, especially polished.

The Hy-Road might be the answer for all around medium oil ball in between the Rogue and Break Point.

Heres my question......I havent had alot of games with the Rogue Cell. Is this going to be strong enough for oily conditions or do I need something else for that type of condition. Like maybe the original Cell or the new Brunswick Siege or Hammer Jigsaw???

I would say strong pearl should be good choice. Cool noize is a great mid price ball along with the loud noize. 2 main differents of the balls are the covers and surface. Cool noize is new columbia reactive pearl with ti boss core at 2000 oob. Loud noize is 4000 polished with ti boss core. Loud noize has nice length with good amount of snap on the backend. Cool noize reads the mids very well with a hard arc on the backend.
