    Default what bowling ball should i get next

    I want to know what ball I should get next. I have a Storm Wipe out and a Brunswick Strike King. I'm a stroker throwing around 15 to 16 mph around second to last arrow. I play on medium to heavy oil. I know its not much information to go on. I just want to get a quick suggestion list.

    Something more aggressive would be my suggestion - how much depends on your revs

    There are a ton of good choices from all manufacturers which will fill the spot you azre looking for. As mentioned above an IQ Tour solid would be a good choice along with the Hy-Road. The Venom Sgock and Covert Revolt/Revolt Vengance would be good choices from Motiv.Some people like hybrids like the VengAnce, Sinisxter,Mastermind Genius. your best bet it to consult your pro shop operator, have them watch you bowl and make a suggestion

    If you want to start putting together an arsenal you should probably stick with one manufacturer. Like jaescrub said, the iq tour solid is a good ball but could be closer to your wipeout than what you may think. I have the iq tour solid and it tends to get quite a bit of lane shine on it. I like the ball but you might want to think about the iq nano which has a different cover than the iq tour. I would recommend talking to a pro shop guy who knows your game, the lane condition, and what you are trying to accomplish with your purchases. You may want to think about eventually getting something in between the 2 you end up with. The only thing i will say definitely is in my opinion stick with a symmetrical ball if you are looking at a upper level ball for more oil. Good luck.

    Your right it's not much information.

    What are the balls you have now not doing?
    What are you looking for in a new ball?
    What are you wanting it for?

    You didn't say if you have a Spare(Plastic) ball, if you don't how about a new spare ball?

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    I'm wanting a ball that is for more heavy oil that will push longer and have strong back end and I use my strike king as a spare ball. I should have included that earlier, sorry about that.

    In other words a "Go long and snap hard" ball.

    Given if you are on "Heavy Oil", you don't particularly want a ball that pushes longer, you'd want something that reads the lane earlier.

    The Wipe Out and Strike King would be balls that push long now, they are symmetrical and have high RG's and low Differentials.

    A "Heavy Oil" ball would be something like a Storm Crux, Rotogrip Hyper Cell, Radical Guru or Motiv Jackal. Which have low RG's, Higher differentials.

    Now since your using symmetrical now, you might want to stay with those. The Motiv Forza is looking pretty good here so far.

    Check out this video on strong vs weak balls:

    and I use my strike king as a spare ball. I should have included that earlier, sorry about that.
