Could the Diablo work on the heavier stuff with a strong drilling?
I dont like the thunderstruck solid, only because of its color, so im not gonna get that one

Diablo, Dark Thunder, or Thunderstruck are the best options for mid-priced medium-heavy shot. The other thing you may consider is trying to pick up a Vertigo on eBay or one of the online retailers. That ball was a higher-priced ball when it was initially released, but today you can get one for under $100 shipped.
I have a vertigo, but my father will maybe use it, so im looking for other choises for me. And i dont think i can play with a purple ball

You want a ball for medium-heavy conditions.
You won't buy a particle ball.
You won't buy a 'high performance' ball.
You have a Vertigo, but you won't use it because it's purple.
You won't consider a Thunderstruck because it's purple (a pattern is developing here).
If you've decided on a Diablo just go for it - don't bother asking us

Sorry, RSP is a particle... See the rules - no particle balls

Thats my situation ;D
But theres a reason for all that.
1. particles: i dont need those, since i can manage on a solid reactive.
2. Since i live in sweden a high peformance ball is sometimes 700-1000 Swedish crowns more expensive then a midrange ball. Thats like $100-140.
3. The Vertigo is a #14 while my other balls is #15s and my dad throws 14s its better for him to have it.
4. Thats the only bad reason i have

You may score higher than me, but you are a better bowler than me.

I'm not a bowler, but I do play one on Ballreviews.

What about the Double Agent? Wait is that a particle one? Pyro? No... And you don't want a Thunderstruck... Ok I guess that leaves Diablo then huh?

The doubl agent at msrp of 239 does not fall into the midpriced category.
I'd buy one if it had a msrp of 199.

Exactly. That's what I said. If you don't want particle, you can't go Pyro or Double Agent, and you don't like the Thunderstruck or Vertigo because they are purple... Well that leaves the Diablo.
