I am switching to Track and I am attempting to build a 6 ball arsenal.  I currently have an Ebonite V2 Strong and V2 Clean, which I would like to integrate into my arsenal.  The V2 Strong is comparable to the Arsenal Aggressive and the V2 Clean is comparable to the Slash.

I am still trying to decide whether I should go with one or two oil balls, for med/heavy and heavy conditions.  The Rule GP2 seems to be an easy choice, but I have heard from one regional Track staffer that the ball is actually too strong for them.  I also like the look of the Rule Delta 1 and Arsenal Reactive.  Could I get away with just the Rule Delta 1?  Would the Rule Delta 1 be too close to the Rule GP2?  Is the Arsenal Reactive too close to my V2's?

On the flip side I am stuggling with the dry balls too.  I am thinking of the original Xception for med/light conditions.  Would the Heat or Desert Heat be better for dry?  Will the Desert Heat be too weak?  With my style, which is below, would the Heat be good enough for the majority of dry conditions?  I can always add the Desert Heat at a later time.

I plan on bowling on a variety of conditions this year, so it is hard for me to predict which conditions I will encounter more often, and to what severity.  I will be bowling mostly on normal house shots, PBA patterns, and  some sport patterns.

I would appreciate any advice you could give me on these decisions.

Bowler specs:
Stroker
PAP: 5 1/2 right 1 1/2 up
16-18 mph
230-240 rpm (This is a guess.  I have never actually measured it)
17 degrees (11" track perimeter)

Potential Arsenal Lineup:
Rule GP2/Rule Delta 1
Arsenal Aggressive
Slash
Xception (original)
Heat/Desert Heat

Thanks

The arsenal I carry to PBA Tournaments is over 6 balls but if I had to chose only 6 I would chose....

Heavy         5.0
Medium/Heavy  Aggressive/ Reactive
Medium        Angular
Medium        Solution PP
Medium/Light  Dry Heat
Dry           Desert Heat

Most of what he hit is in the Medium hook category and the balls I have thrown the most lately are the Aggressive and Angular. The Solution looked very good last week when I finished 5th in Houma and the REactive looked Awesome!!!

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  

I just had an Arsenal Reactive drilled the other night and man what a ball!  It will be great for med/heavy conditions.  

I will look at the Rule Delta 1, and possibly the GP2, for heavy oil.  The original Xception seems like it would fit nicely between the Slash and Desert Heat, as well.
