You could go with a Flash Point,Hot Rod PS (shined), or even a Hot Rod PS Pearl depending on how much hand you have and how med-light it really is that you are looking for.

i'll second the flashpoint... med-med light is the spot it fills in my bag, drilled 4.5 by 5, pin over ring, cg in grip center. doesnt like carrydown at all, good second ball out of bag.

You're in a STORM column .. yet you use other balls and are asking for a MED/LIGHT condition ball. I'd like to make a suggestion .. I'm FAR FROM the expert but I can tell you what works for ME. Try the:

AMF JUSTICE PEARL.

Not expensive and the ball works on that condition!

Barbed or Razor Wire with proper drill should do the trick.

Depends on what you want from a ball reaction.  Flash Point is a great ball for a smooth arc through normal house conditions on the drier side.  The other ball that I like a lot for this condition is the Eraser Pearl Particle.  It will go a little longer than the Flash Point with more snap at the end.

You could probably use something you already have. Save your money. I'm currently using my Triple-X for all conditions. I've learned how to control speed and this is imperative if you want to succeed. So try with what you've got. You'll be surprised.

I'll second the V2 sweet or V2 clean.  I just got a V2 dry and I love it, but I'm probably going to drill the V2 clean because I prefer solid to pearl, and I need something that gives me the same look as the V2 dry, but with more overall hook.  Both balls are very clean through the front, with in my eyes the sweet being smoother off the break and the clean with a little more on the back.  I would definetly have to say the Pro Stock is a no no for lighter oil...Mine is very big on the backend (thanks to Ryan Shafer for hooking me up with that beauty).  I would definetly have to say the brunswick solid reactive pureple/teal power groove with a shine on it would be a great choice.  Very versatile and cheap ball.
