Hi guys

Looking for adivce for a new ball and want to make it a Storm.

Basically a house I am bowling league at next year has OB outside 8. Yeah I know, pretty bad. I'm bowling this place for a challenge instead of the usual boring THS crap.

If I keep my breakpoint inside the lanes can be scored on, but the head oil dries up pretty quick going direct at them. I can get into 20, no problem, throwing a Jolt Pearl 4 1/2" pin up, keeping my break point around 11-12. When the heads go playing 20 I cant get left without placking and the angles I have to play make the pocket narrower.

What Im looking for is a ball to play with that will give me length and backend recovery, but that wont hook in the front. The Jolt Pearl just isnt enough ball playing deep inside. I also can't have the cover too strong because the surface is old AMF HPL 9000 with low volume. I guess it might need a trick layout.

Hit me up with some suggestions!!

I would go w/ a T-Road pearl it will clear the fronts with no trouble and have plenty of energy for the back end.  Despite being a ball that reacts quickly to the dry it very controllable.  I love mine and have it drilled 4.5 x 3 w/ and x-hole under my pap, its also great w/ 1000 grit on it (abrilon sure I'm spelling it wrong).

Pyro is a good THS ball

You did not say, but if the backs are clean, another "trick" to consider is sliding the pin closer to your PAP (1 1/2 to PAP) to calm the ball down at the back. This might allow you to stay a little straighter depending on what your ball speed is like.

Just food for thought...
