I will second what clay said. On most conditions now, newer balls soak oil pretty quickly. team event, you have 10 on a lane. The majority tend to play the "comfort zone", which for them is usually the track area. Once that goes away, and if you have decent rev rate, then it can become like a league shot. You can move into 4th arrow and play the bump, though you still have to be fairly accurate. As clay mentioned, not too shiny. Not too dull. Usually a sheen type finish to start with but as you have to migrate inside, maybe something with a little shine to help get down the lane and yet have enough angularity to kick out the corner pins.
In my recent success in the singles events, I start out with a Rock On at 2000 abralon. Once that starts to bite a little too soon, I go to my Green Gargoyle, which I have at 4000 and polish. If I pull shots a board or two, the shiny and weaker cover helps get the ball to hold the line and if I push it out a board or two, it bumps the track area and recovers. All of my stuff is pin up but mostly because of my high track and axis point. Those with medium axis points (4.25-5 inch PAPs) can have more flexibility as far as pin up and pin down.
Peace doesnt always have to be silent.
