I have been struggling with exacly how to replace my X-Factor Ace for the past few months, and I have come down to three possiblities. I have used my Ace for the past year or so as my medium oil control ball or longer oil pattern ball. From my perspective I am looking for a ball that is at least as strong as my Agent.
My original thought was to polish a Double Agent. Jeff Carter has repeatedly said in this board that he doesn't recommend that as he thinks the ball OOTB is a great Trifecta replacement ball. I am feeling beat into submission with that point and I have resigned myself to use the Double Agent as a heavy oil control ball.
The other answer I keep hearing is for me to get a Pyro. My concern with that is that the Pyro seems to have more length than I want and the overall reaction seems to be too close to my Ragin' Banshee.
So, other than looking to a different manufacturer (which isn't out of the realm of posibility) my last thought is to go get a new Ace for this use. My only other thought is that maybe a Paradigm-based polished pearl particle ball may be coming this fall.
I am looking for some voting here. Please let me know if you would polish a Double Agent, get a Pyro, get a NIB Ace, or is there another medium-strong pearl particle out there that would fit in nicely as a control / longer oil companion ball to my Agent.

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

Green--I have a Double Agent that is like you are thinking of. It is lightly polished, pin above ring with the cg kicked out slightly. It is the most versatile ball that I can remember.
Hmmmm... Maybe I have two Double Agents... one polished and one OOTB?

I find my Pyro to be twice as Angular as the Ace was.
