Hey Guys,

Thought I would throw this out and ask for a little help.  I currently have in my "arsenal" a 16# B/G Centaur and a 16# Charcoal Executioner.  Both are lightly polished and cover 95% of the shots I encounter.  

Over the summer I picked up a 16# Immortal Solid hoping it would fit a niche as a heavier oil ball.  Unfortunately, it hasn't' worked out the few times that I needed to use it.  It tends to go longer and have a strong backend snap but, does give me much more movement than the Charcoal.

What I am looking for is some advise on which ball to look toward now.  I rarely need to use this ball at the houses that I bowl at.  But, would like to have it just in case.  Secondly, since I don't use it very much I don't want to spend a lot on it either.

Would the old Burgundy Gryphon fit my needs or do I need to go to the old Granite Gargoyle.  I know the particle Centaur would work as well but, can't see ever being able to use one.

Finally, I know someone will ask so I will describe my style as best I can.  I throw around 15-16 mph with around 300 rpm.  I would call myself a tweener since I am not a down and inner but, also not a cranker.  I tend to stand around 25 and throw out to 8-10 with a mild arcing motion to the pocket.  I'm averaging 210+ with what I have now so I don't want to mess too much with it.

Thanks in advance for the advise.

I am with Scott on this, but not sure about the polish as it really depends on where and how often you will end up using it.

If you can, check out the following link:

If I remember correctly, there is a comparison of the Ogre Solid and Particle to give you a reference point.  Also, I think of the Ogre Particle as a stronger solid.....but able to handle a little more oil.

For the price......great ball!!
