Interesting question. I have 50 balls on ball-racks in my office. Apparently it is suspected that I have a couple of balls that you would refer to as an arsenal ..In my case that is not true ..

I bowl 4 leagues in 4 different Centers. I take 2 balls to each Center and try not to take the same balls each week! There are some of my balls that I haven't used for better then a year .. not because I didn't get good results with them .. just because they aged.

This week I have the following lined up:
Monday .. Roto Grip sd73/Ogre Pearl
Tuesday .. Radar / Frankie May
Wednesday .. Black Widow Pearl/Heist (maybe Nebula)
Thurs .. Uranium HRG / Total NV

Every Sunday I plan the balls I will use during the week. Switching them around in different houses makes it interesting!

Even though I have a dozen balls in store, my current "1st choice" arsenal for league and tournament (when I do not know what I have to expect) is this from light to heavy conditions:

- Spare (Target Zone)
- Black Pure Hammer, 1500 grit, pin above bridge stacked
- Revolution Renegade, polished, pin above ring finger stacked
- Visionary Frankie May Gryphon, 2.000 grit Abralon, pin under ring finger stckled
- Ebonite XXcel, 1.000 grit, pin above ring finger stacked

These balls complement each other well, and unless the lanes are really dry, I can cover anything imaginable with this. Sometimes I might change the overall arsenal in favor to a specific piece I know that will work very well on a specific lane, and then build the arsenal rest around it - mostly with the 1st choice, but also with other balls to avoid too much reaction and/or condition overlapping.
