I second walter56, TRoad Pearl and Solid would make a great 1-2 punch. The TRoad Pearl is one of the most versatile and controllable balls I've ever thrown and the Solid has the same cover as the Special Agent, so it will handle the oil just fine. I wouldn't worry about Storm balls cracking, I have several (see profile for details) and I had the T-Road Pearl for a while and it's fine. The cracking was mostly with the Paradigms and the Paradigm Passions that had a different coverstock and was isolated to a manufacturing defect.
