I was a huge fan of the 5.0....it was a very good ball.

I would grab the Machine though.....it is not as strong in oil as the GP2. It is stronger in every part of the lane than the 5.0. It is strong yet predictable.

Hey slammin,

I also suggest the Machine as a good fit under the GP2.  My 5.0 is nice but it needed to be on a truer medium condition to work well for me. The Machine has already shown me that it can handle some of the med/med conditions with ease.

Go with the Machine.  It's a great ball for medium lane condition.  It will go longer than the 5.0 and be stronger in the backend.   I think the Exception 5.0 might overlap your X-Factor Reloaded.
