i'm trying to build a six ball arsenal and i don't know how to complete it.
here is a list of balls i already have...
1. T-Road Solid
2. Total NV
3. Secret Agent
4. Neptune
5. Maxim Spare
I need a ball that is going to have a skid/flip reaction. I want it to go down and flip aggressively towards the pocket. What do you recommend based on my arsenal so far?

Seems like a T-Road Pearl with a weak-ish layout should do the trick.

the goof is right or another couple of choices would be spit fire or fired up.

ok well i just drilled up my t-road solid today and shot a 779 with it out of the box. i threw the front 9 with it 1st game without practice. but after 3 games on my THS the oil carried down and the ball wouldn't carry the tens. so do you still think the t-road pearl would get through that or maybe a black widow pearl or the original thunderstruck pearl?

Well.. Here is how I would set it up.

T-Road Solid
Secret Agent
Total NV
Blank - Thunderstruck Pearl/T-Road Pearl
Neptune
Maxim

You cannot go wrong with both of those. They get through carrydown very well, and have a bunch of pop in the backend to have a move on lighter conditions.

Should work well.

Ogre Pearl is DEFINATLY going to be weaker off the spot than the two you listed above.

Sidewinder has a low load particle in it, which will handle more oil than probably your Total NV.

Ogre Pearl is a good choice, and I have seen it thrown, and it does roll very well.

But if your looking for a stronger move overall, and getting more length to the pattern, I would definatly go with the Thunderstruck or the T-Road.

Thunderstruck Pearl gets my vote.
