    If I stick with my 16lb gear I'll be rolling:

    Brunswick: C-System AlphaMax ; Massive Damage ; Total Inferno ; TZone
    AMF: Cobra

    When funds allow I intend to switch to 15lb so who knows. I'll get to build from scratch, I really like the current offerings from Hammer and Rotogrip

    Since they changed the type of oil in the house, and the volume, its really been a struggle to carry consistently. The High Rev guys are loving it as are the two handed players. Everyone else not so much. I went to a Storm Surelock and still trying to get the angle to the pocket right. I am having a hard time carrying the ten pen. Looking at the Brunswick Quantum Bias, and the Rotogrip Halo. Cause I just don't seem to be able to make friends with the Surelock. Yes we have that much oil. Most folks are back to playing around the oil on the outside 7-5 board. The track shot will give you the pocket but you wont carry a high percentage. I am not one of the guys with 450 revs, I just don't have that kind of hand in the ball. Had scored really well before so its just a matter of figuring the line out.
    On the league secretary statistics, the total league shot 3 pins under the previous league average on Thurs. and 3 pins under on Tues. Not sure what the oil switch was about, but it hasn't been well received.

    Someone stole your ball? What the? There is a special place beyond 6 feet under somewhere between Hitler and divorce attorneys for people who rip off bowling equipment.

    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

    That is the Symmetrical and Assymetrical ball I believe, it was the first one and Track made something similar with the Alias.

    Anyway, depending on how you drill the ball it can be either sym or asym. From what I heard its a good ball but I don't have it. I know you aren't on Facebook but the reason why I converted to Radical is there is a Facebook group for Radical Fans and you can talk to Mo Pinel, Radical ball designer. I gave him my specs and he gave me my layouts for my balls. Who better than the actual guy who designed the ball to give you a layout.

    I recently picked up a Radical Intel and I threw my first 700 series ever, then 3 weeks later I did it again. Also threw a No Tap 300 during a No Tap tournament so I have to say I've been really happy with the Radical equipment.

    Just a 15lb Hyroad for me.

    That things got more hook than I can even use.

    Storm Hyroad
    Hammer Dark Legend Solid
    RG Hustle INK
    RG Own It red spare

    All 15 lb. I bowl 3 leagues in 2 different centers and that group has performed very well. I find myself using the Hammer most of the time. Very controllable and predictable for me.
