You want a ball to complement the Mutant...but how? Do you want the other ball to handle more oil? less oil? similiar oil but with a different reaction?

If he's only been able to use it a few times this year, I might guess that it's too strong for the conditions he's bowling on.

not always.. The layout could be a bad one for him, could go straight as an arrow, burn up, etc..

I am sorry guys . Just came home from work . My mutant hooks alot . I got it drilled strong . The condition I bowled on was less oil . So I am looking for something to complement it . Who know they might put down more oil this year . I want something I can chase the oil when the heads dry up.Something to go longer . This is the only track piece I have in my bag . Thank you in advance for your answers.
If yours is like mine, the backend is simply too much for some conditions. I've found that something with a much milder backend is more appropriate. As Rock suggested, a Heat would probably work well if you want to continue with a similar line. If you want to chase the oil inside, maybe the Xception would work better.

For what you are describing I like the Xception 5.0 the best. You can chase the oil in and it will still recover strong on the backends. It is a strong ball though.
Let me ask you this, what were you using last year and how did work.....AND what kind of line were you playing with it?

PS- sorry to ask so many questions to get to one answer, but it is better to know for sure. Guessing is a bad thing with bowling equipment.

Carl, Rick, and Clint are asking these questions because they are indeed important. Also, these 3 guys are very patience people who want to help and see somebody succeed! I have asked many questions of these guys and they have always been there with an answer. I will also try to answer your question.
Be that as it may, I did at one point in time own a Mutant. I was very discouraged by this ball. This ball hooked A WHOLE LOT! I think it was because I wasn't disciplined enough at that point in time to throw it because I didn't know as much as I do now.
Melvin, if I were to tell you my opinion on a ball and/or Track arsenal to go with I would have to say the best 1-2 combo for me has been the original Rule and original X-Ception. This is based on a typical "easy" house shot. I have found great success from these two and my average is going up gradually.
Rule:
I believe this is a very versatile reactive ball. It can handle the slick stuff and has tons of bang when it hits pins!
X-Ception:
A polished Rule is what I have always called it. Tons of backend than its sanded version, the Rule. If you get a Rule and your noticing an over/under condition, the X-Ception will make the turn on the backend!
You could probably also go with the GP2 and 5.0 1-2 combo as well. These 4 balls are what I am carrying with me too league even though I own 7 more of Track's wonderful stuff! Hope this helps and let us all know what you decided and how everything works for you!

The 5.0 would be what I consider a step under the Mutant and the original Xception to be 2 steps under. It would be your choice as to how much a separation you want or need to fill your needs.

Rick, wouldnt you get the same backend just a little more legenth out of the 5.0??
You're close Cody but the Mutant does have a stronger cover which will allow it to hook a little more overall. Based on Melvin's description though, I like the Xception a little better, just my opinion.
