For medium light, you may need the Heat instead. The Heat will get through the heads better, although the Hexplosion will be a smoother ball overall.

I agree with the rest of your arsenal!

I like everything you have listed there. NOW...many have not seen what I say, but I think the hexplosion is awesome on drier conditions. Even if drilled identical you should not see overlap between the hexplosion and Slash.

TJF, that looks like a good 4 ball arsenal that should be able to cover the gammet of conditions. You may add another medium ball in there to give you a different look, say maybe a Rule or something.


BigWilly, you're definately in the minority there. The GP2 is an incredibly capable ball and extremely versatile as well. Even non Track fans have praised the ball's performance. On that note, I don't own one, but that doesn't mean I don't want one! I have an Animal that handles most oil I see, but there have been quite a few occasions where I could've used something a tad stronger; case in point, the GP2. You are entitled to your opinion, and this is mine.

I have the same arsenal you suggest other than a Rule vs the 5.0 (I'm holding off until I get more info). The Slash and the Hexplosion are 2 of the best bargains in bowling. I bought both used and they have both become my favorite balls. (I still have 2 Animals and an Xception. I love the Animal played straight up the back but my Xception just goes too far down the lane with 18+ mph ball speed).

Go with exactly what you listed (have not tried the Heat)
