Alright a fun opinion question as the title stats what is your favorite Oiler of all time?
Alot of good choices out their and we have all had some good ones.
My Current favorite is my Solaris Requiem for its predictability and consistency off the spot never any surprises, even with a more angular drill pattern it is consistent love it. I have taken the Requiem to Nationals the last to years and have consistently had more room to play with it than guys have with Theorys, Taboos, Missions, and Marvels.
All time favorite though has to be the EPX t-1, I had one that was in a later batch so it didn't fall apart right away I actually put about 100 games on it before it quit on me. Made every pattern no matter how heavy the oil was or how tight it played look like a house shot.

This is a bowling forum, isn't it??

My best ball for the soup was my old No Mercy Beat'n. That was probably the nastiest backend ball I've ever owned, especially for a solid. I threw it on a fresh pattern at nationals and it made it play like a medium THS. I was swinging it while everyone else played tight in the middle. Loved that ball for the heavier stuff.

In my opinion there are only 2 that require consideration....
Lane #1 Super Carbide Bomb
Columbia EPX-T1
The coverstocks on these 2 balls were the absolute most aggressive on the market and the cores in both were super aggressive as well......
Although the AMF Mega Friction does warrant an honorable mention.

At least, hard to find on the lanes these days, it appears?
Anyway, my favorite so far for SERIOUS oil is Lanemasters' NS². This thing is great when there's real soup and carrydown out there - high load carbide particle, huge differential. If THIS thing does not get to roll and carry, hardly anything will.

I was going to say the Cell, but since I sold that and still have my Legend New Standard, that must be it. As implied above,I rarely see more than medium oil, and that only if I get very lucky.

All time would have to go with the original Chaos. Mine never died and used it many times to handle the oil. Current would have to be my Break Out or Eagle with some surface on them.
Roll with 900 Global.

The Visionary ball that I thought was best for a flood was the Midnight Scorcher - urethane with particles.

Gonna have to go with the Raging Inferno. Back in the day - if you had this ball and it was a heavy pattern, you had an advantage over anyone who didn't have one. Honorable mention:
Trauma ER
V2 Solid
Blue Hammer
Black U dot
Original Danger Zone
Forest Fire
