All 3 are good choices but being being balls with an asymetrical can be a little more sensitive to release variations. Probably a better choice at this time would be the Storm Marvel. It is a strong symetric ball.
Recommendations for a new ball
I'm pretty much a beginner bowler, and I've been looking for a new ball to purchase. I have a relatively high speed with low revs. Wish I could give the actual numbers, but I don't know them myself. I was particularly looking at the new RotoGrip Critical Theory and the Storm Virtual Gravity Nano. I was also considering the RotoGrip Infinite Theory. I heard these balls were good for heavy oil or for people with low rev rates. I don't know much about balls, but somehow tended to lean towards the Storm/RotoGrip line. My question is, are these balls really good for someone like me with a med/high speed and low revs? Wish I had a video of me bowling so you guys get the basic idea, but I'm meeting with a reputable pro shop owner in my area tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
edit: The reason for buying a new ball is because I joined a new league today, and the people watching me bowl were saying how the ball wasn't "right" for me. Might be a problem with the drilling also as the inside of my thumb where it webs has calluses with skin peeling.

I totally agree with Stormed! Everything he said is spot on.

I also agree that asymetrical may not be the right way to go. The Marvel is a great ball. It is plenty strong enough, and symetrical cores are much more balanced and predictable. Good luck with your new ball and your new league!

Thanks for all the help guys. I didn't purchase my ball yet due to financial issues that came up, and also to look more into the symmetrical balls you guys mentioned. My girlfriend actually throws the marvel ball so I know what it's capable of. I'll keep you guys posted on what I purchase, and thanks for the luck with my new league. I'm really going to need it!
Another option might be the NEW Brunswick Lethal Revolver. It is symmetrical as well, smooth and predictable and supposed to be SNEAKY STRONG w/good carry and corner kickouts... and might even be $20-$30 cheaper. That being said I'm still a HUGE fan of Storm products!
