Considering the pattern that is used Medford is all about shot making, and less about equipment.  
Here is a link to the pattern: http://pba.com/resources/oilpatterns/laneconditions.asp?ID=36

With it being a shotmakers pattern...I would bet on some benchmark balls.  Things like Gamebreakers, Infernos, Dimensions, Black Widows, etc

Just my opinion...either one could be your ball that gives you a good controllable breakpoint.  Both drilled with pin down layouts are as readable in the midlane as anything out there.

Most used balls this week are by Storm and Roto.

Virtual Gravity's, Street Rods and Cell's both Pearl and Solid, Grand Illusion.

Some 2nd Dimension, Dimension and Hy-Roads.

Lots of Gamebreakers and Ebonite One Pearl's.

What Blockbuster said. Lots of Cells (both solid and pearl) Virtuals, HyRoads, 2nd Dimensions, One Pearls, Rattlers, Wild Rides. Sprinkle in some Cherry Vibes, Hot Sauce, and Breaks. Definitely Storm dominated right now.

PA: Blue Vibe mostly. Also used a Black Widow and Cherry Vibe in the later games.

O'Neill: Started the qualifying early in the week with Ebonite (One Pearl, Magic, etc.) but switched to Storm on Thursday and used mostly a T Road Pearl, HyRoad, and I think I saw a Second Dimension too.

Benchmark balls are generally balls with strong coverstocks and weak cores/drills.  Both balls have strong coverstocks.  Both can be drilled weak.  Both can be good benchmark balls.  Admittedly it is not as common to have a asymmetrical ball as a benchmark, but it is not unheard of/impossible.


My Black Widow was my bench mark ball in tournaments.  It had the smoothest roll out of all my other equipment, and I could read the lanes the best with it.
