Good medium to light oil ball with strong back end
« on: April 02, 2011, 11:58:30 AM »
Seeking recomendations for a medium to light oil ball to round out my arsenal of Nano and Victory Road.  I am a medium speed, high tweener with a 180 league average.

 

I like strong back end.   Options so far include:

 - Tropical Heat Hybrid

 - Rising Star

 

What else?   Please reply with your favorite.....

 

Thanks

MK

Hybrid tropical heat is alot more ball than advertised, definitely not a medium to light oil ball. Maybe you should consider the resin one. I have the Hybrid one and its the strongest ball I have.

i actually get more backend out of my heat hybrid than my nano. stills works great on dry lanes because it goes so far down the lane. the jet was a good ball for me on dry lanes and it had a strong backend

Love my RG Rising Star.  No matter if you are a down the boards guy or love to crank it, the ball will flat out work and it carries very well.  It definitely is one of the best balls I have ever seen for medium-dry lanes.

Dark Star. The Rising Star is a great ball, but it's probably too close to the Victory Road for a 3 ball arsenal.

Why the hybrid Tropical Heat and not the Pearl Tropical Heat?

Try a storm natural or a Roto grip Grenade. I just got a used grenade, re-drilled it, and shot 237,279,267: 783 off the press. My game sounds very simular to yours, this ball really works well for me.

The Avalanche Urethane and the Avalanche Pearl Green/Black are great medium to light oil balls in my bag.  I also get a lot of use from my older equipment, rotogrip Pluto and Neptune.  I would also recommend the Hammer Cherry Vibe or for that matter almost any of the Vibe series.

Don't forget to look at t Tropical Storm.  It is stronger than advertised, and on a medium to light shot, it allows you to stay outside longer than others.  I love my Pearl Trop Storm, averaged about 230 last year using that ball alone.
