Personally I like to utilize the Storm and Roto Grip lines to give me different looks. I believe they can be used very effectively to "fill in gaps". With that said, how bout a Deranged? Seems like it would be a good step down from the Marvel S and above the Hyroad Pearl depending on drilling.

By the way i thought the marvel-s was designed to be a heavy oil symmetric. I think the reign of power would do you better because it is designed fo medium-heavy.

Ok sounds like a plan. Just wanted to make sure you are getting what you want.

My thinking is to go with a Marvel Pearl.  You'd be getting a ball that has the same core as the Marvel-S, but with the R2X pearl cover that has proven itself time and time again.  It's very clean through the front and is angular in back.  Carry is very good with this ball, and there are several in my league that have had a lot of success with it.  The Marvel Pearl handles medium-heavy volumes very well.

The good thing with this option is that it would allow you to keep the Marvel-S at box for your heavy oil, and you'll still have a well-defined step down.  The Marvel Pearl will be several boards weaker than the Marvel-S.  However, it is still several boards stronger than the Hy-Road.  The Hy-Road would be your benchmark ball.

I'd go Marvel-S > Marvel Pearl > Hy-Road.  That's a great 3 ball combo that can handle virtually all medium to heavy conditions.

Yes- I would go with the Hy-Road hybrid as the benchmark.

Technically the Hy-Road and Hy-Road pearl can compliment each other well, depending on the how they're drilled.  I'm thinking the hybrid would be more of a benchmark based on the stats provided and the fact that it does work well on most conditions for most styles.

From either Hy-Road, I would then step down to the Frantic or potentially the Shatter/Wrecker balls from Roto Grip, depending on the type of look that the poster is looking for.   IMHO, the Wrecker and the Frantic are tough to beat for medium-light patterns and for the price point.  Both give a great combo of length, midlane read, and backend ability with the Wrecker being slightly cleaner and slightly longer.  The Shatter would be a good ball if the poster wants to have a pure pearl cover that goes long and strong.
