The Hyroad is a good ball but is a little more smooth. Maybe a Virtual Energy. The Reign also looks pretty good for that as well.

Reign would be a great choice. It goes long and has a big backend reaction.

Second that. Additionally, any ball with an EnMotion pearl cover has excellent length even through ridden heads - the Smash Zone (just discontinued) might be an option, too, as well as the Twisted Fury Pearl.

Best ball made for the price. It's much more aggressive than the price point suggests.

I have a Morich 'Nsane, if drilled right and oil upfront, this ball has some serious backend.

I second the Twisted Fury pearl.  Very lengthy and usable in medium to minimal amounts of oil.  For my game, the key is not to make it cover too many boards.  Though it does have a nice snap to it, this snap takes place far enough down the lane that it is better to play it more up the boards.  I feel this is the inherent advantage of the ball - it will carry well especially when I do not ask it to cover a lot of room on the backend.

The ball wont necessarily be used on dry. I throw a mutant cell and at times, especially around the end of game 2, it becomes to strong or looses energy. I then will throw a hammer doom pin down @ 4000 polish and it wont move nearly enough for me. I hope this helps narrow down what i need.
