Think you have an okay line up.  You should probably find yourself bowling better with the Cell Pearl.  I would advise maybe having a lower end ball polished for D/S just in case they are flying.

Ship,

I don't recall saying the invasion was junk out at reno.. I have said on other posts that I do not think the invasion is a great ball nor even a ball to use.  I base this on five bowlers who purchased this ball and within about 3 weeks they got rid of their equipment for other storm products.

Now I will be going out to reno in about a week and I am taking a total bedlam, tropic heat, full swing.  

If you want to talk scores from last year (not a good comparison to this year yet) but I shot 428, 728, 613... The 428 was during team and the 728 AND 613 was bowled with a new ball drilled that morning before the tourney started.  

SK, I think honestly if you are concerned with what you have I think you should see who is on your team and how they play.  If they are taking dull balls, or like to swing the ball I think what you have is just fine.  However, again if they are going to cause you to have an over under reaction then this should be okay.

cbjdc - maybe you should go check rigg's report and his scores with the Invasion

Jeff shot a little better that 1800, 1892.  His quote about the VE was that it would have work as well as the Invasion, but he wasn't changing ball with the look he had.

as for surface, it very difficult to say what the best surface for an person is, since rev rate, ball speed, etc have an impact on your surface decision..

My real heartburn was the blanket statement that the Virtual Energy being junk.  While that may be your experience, I see a lot of them being used successfully on a variety of patterns (house and PBA), so to make a blanket statement like that is a little harsh.
