What type of ball do you use on freshly oiled lanes?

What type of ball do you use on freshly oiled lanes?  Reactive or Particle?

I am talking about your typical house pattern. I bowl on 2nd shift.

This may sound weird but I like using my power groove reactive on fresh oil, and my primetime (particle) on lanes that have started to wear down and dry out some.

I figured this out during my last league session and it proved the same during practice tonight.  The lanes were used before hand but still very oily. Lately I have been using the primetime cause its more predictable on the backend especially when the lanes are starting to dry up.  During practice and the first 3 frames on the first game I didn't like the way it was hitting.  It seemed very weak on the backend, not that its a strong backend hooking ball, but its usually better than that.  For the 4th frame I made the switch to the power groove and finishing with a stronger backend hook and hitting the pocket with authority.

I finished the night with a 223 average or 669 series.
