    Default Looking for suggestions on my next ball

    Hi Guys,

    I currently throw a DV8 Misfit, and while I love the ball, I find myself oddly attracted to Storm balls (I guess their marketing department is working well). Maybe its the scents, the way they look, I don't know I just like them lol. What would be the next logical step up from a Misfit? I'd like something not too aggressive.

    Thinking about a Hy-Road, Frantic, or Manic.

    How less aggressive do you want? I can be rather aggressive with my Tropical Breeze when it's lighter oil. It's got a decently strong core for a light oil ball.

    For medium oil, Frantic, Fringe, Hy-Road.

    I like getting the most aggressive ball on the line then drill it down. At a later point, you can always plug/re-drill the same ball back to an aggressive ball again. You can drill an aggressive ball to be similar to a medium aggressive ball, just not the other way around.
