I would like to know what all 3 of these balls can do and which would be better for heavy oil. I have a guaranteed right now but I have not tried it on a true oil shot but I don't think it will be good enough for the summer when I go to IN for a tourney and I know there will be a long sport oil pattern. My one friend things I should drill a WMB he thinks I would love it and it would move like crazy for me. SO if u guys would be so kind as to let me know what these 3 can do and rank them from best to worst for heavy oil. Also if u have a good drilling for them leave it please. Well thanks and GO CUBS LOL

I think the GP2 would be the best decision for heavy oil. It's cover is very versatile and it can be sanded down pretty dull and still want to have some recovery. The core/cover matchup is excellent.
I would say that a good 2nd choice would be the Arsenal Agressive instead of the Angular. The Agressive will start up earlier and with the higher flare potentional, really allows for a strong continuous move on longer patterns.

Ex has posted here before that the GP2 is stronger than the WMB. Ask Ex, as he has drilled a few WMB, and there is some feedback from him about this in a thread somewhere.

He was asking about the Arsenal Aggressive, not the Arsenal Angular.
Of the 3 you listed the Rule GP2 is the best in heavy oil. There are several benefits going with it over the WMB. The GP2's cover holds up better and does not track up as quickly. In oil it rolls up much sooner with a little bit more in the backend.
I have said this same thing in another thread (some chose to bash me, but this is the truth)---my buddy (his ballreviews username is Toddcj7) had a WMB. He was struggling mightily one night and decided to pick up my GP2 and use it. He had to move his feet 8 boards left. NOW---my GP2 and his WMB were drilled near identical. A few weeks after that he bought his own GP2 and wanted the same drilling on it. Using that ball primarily----he has raised his average from 185 to 193 in that league. He has only been using the GP2 since about early Feb I believe. That is a huge difference for that late in a season. JUST TO MAKE SURE NO ONE RESPONDS OR READS THIS AND TAKES IT THE WRONG WAY>>>>>>>>> it does not mean grabbing the GP2 is going to make your scores better, but it made a huge difference for his game on this heavy oil pattern.
The Arsenal Aggressive with overall movement is pretty close to the WMB. Once again, a huge advantage with the Aggressive is that the coverstock holds up. I have had too many bowlers ask/say that the WMB's cover has tracked up very quickly and that it has lost alot of reaction. All of the bowlers I know that have the Aggressive are very happy with it.
