I'm looking for a new ball, right now I have a HRR and I love it, but I'm looking for a strong skid flip ball that allows me to start more to the right and take a straighter approach to the break point. I just want to know what people like for that type of ball.

Theres a combination of things for skid/flip.

A Coverstock That will skid longer and the right surface texture.
High RG To get it down the lane.
High differental/Flare So it will hook hard on the backend.
A Layout that promotes a long skid and sharp hook.

Plus you have use it on the conditions that match up right with the skid/flip ball motion.

Yea, I understand what makes a good skid/flip but I was wondering what specific balls people like for that type of reaction.

I use my original Hell Raiser with several heavy coats of
high polish on it with the pin above my fingers and a P3
hole to get a good skid/flip motion out of it.

If it is still too much ball for the shot then I'll break out the
Roto Grip Nomad Pearl it goes way long before it tries to do
anything but when it does flip left it flips big time.

Side note:
bowl1820 love your new PDW signature. LOL!!!!!
