Is a medium oil ball a good choice for dry or oily conditions?

Rob, didn't you mean that 2.62 RG is HIGH? The 0.043 differential seems to place it in medium.

Every bowling ball has 2 RG's; a high RG and a Low RG. The high RG is often not listed as it is simply the difference between the high RG and the low RG that is the differential. 2.62 is very high for a low RG. For example, a ball with a low RG of 2.50 and a differential of 0.050 has a high RG of 2.55.

In other words:

The Storm Fight's "Low RG" of 2.62 is high compared to most balls "Low RG" that are out now.

To get way off track and back to the original question: depends on the bowler and lanes. Burn on wood plays different than burn on synthetic. Then each kind of synthetics also have differenct frictions. If the bowler has the tools to change tilt, speed and rotation then they could easily use a medium oil ball for all the games.
Changing surfaces is great but isn't allowed by rule once competition begins. Not too many houses will have a "dry" fresh shot. Now before people start chiming in with how dry their league shot is let me say this: you will have at least 20ml of oil, it will be a christmas tree pattern and the ratio will be at least 4:1 That's far from a flat, 1:1, 18ml pattern no matter the length of either

Chuck, really? We're talking about a medium oil ball where you can change the surface for heavy or light conditions. The Nirvana/Ultimate Nirvana has the lowest RG allowed by the USBC: 2.47. It will roll earlier than any other core on the market today. Please stop looking at the marketing hype, and start looking at the numbers. Marketing hype is just that: hype. Numbers don't lie. Just ask Charlie Epps!

Rob chuck wasn't referring to the ultimate nirvana as a medium oil ball he was referring directly to my wife who I had referenced as an example of how different bowling styles need and use equipment differently. Try to read the entire post before pushing them off the ledge lol.

Chuck the ultimate nirvana is longer than the original. We did consider it instead of the mastermind brainiac but I'm not a believer in cover material type making a large difference between ball. I think it's mostly surface differences. The brainiac is looking like a good choice it allowed me to add a little surface to the nirvana to separate them a little farther and both are rolling great now.

I did read the entire post before pushing him off the ledge. Chuck is a friend of mine, and I'm sure he takes the pushing in a constructive way which is how it is always intended.
