    Default New ball opinions?

    I am currently throwing the following:
    Azo Pro Tactics
    Storm 2furious
    Storm Frantic
    Pro Shop is saying the Disturbed would be a good fit for the heavier oil I have been seeing.
    Spoke to another pro shop and he says to get the Brunswick Maxxed out.
    I am a med rev, 15mph, tweener, who most often stands 25 and throws out over 10, most nights.

    How heavy is heavier? To be honest it's a vague and relative term. The Disturbed is a good ball but not really geared towards truly heavy or long oil patterns. However, depending on your axis rotation and length of the pattern it could still work well for you. Ball choice is one of the hardest things to do on the internet without true lane knowledge and video of the bowler.

    We always had bowled on a medium THS, but scoring had been climbing, so to curb that trend a bit, they increased the oil on the THS shot.
    I found myself stand about 10 boards to the right, and could get the ball to the pocket, but just not striking as much.
    Most of the league went to a Defiant, Nexus, or this type of ball, that is what lead me to think perhaps I needed to get a quote heavier oil ball.

    If you want something for heavier oil I highly recommend the Sync... great new ball. But I would only really recommend that if it really is a lot of oil.

    I love my Sync. Great heavy oil ball. Just be careful because once the oil starts to disappear, you need to switch to a different ball.

    It is the favorite ball I own right now. I don't think a ball has come out since the original Defiant came out that I have liked as much. This ball is aggressive and versatile. It is great. I don't think you can go wrong with it. Everyone likes the IQ Tour Pearl a lot, but I throw my Defiant Soul a lot more than the IQ Tour Pearl.
