Erin,
I thought I read in another post that you got a Total NV? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought so

My arsenol is listed in my signature. I will say this. The SI is my regular ball. I can't wait for the need to pull my TS&A out. I bought it for another lane sport league, but, never bowled there. So, it doesn't get much use, maybe only a game every now and then. I rarely use the Warp Zone, but save it for dry lanes, which I don't see too often. I do have my high series of the year 750 with it. The World Class, probably is my favorite, just because it is drilled for length and has a different reaction. I only use it when the SI and TS&A have trouble with their normal arc. The WC gets me out of oil trouble, since I can switch to an outside line that is rarely used.

In the bag:-

Bruniwick Rhino Pro X

Columbia 300 Blue Ball for spare

In the home:-

Hammer 3D Offset Super Hook (Need to change the thumb grip like my Rhino Pro ball)

Not sure to plan getting a new ball like Ebonite, but not worth of $ and not a high game enough.

So Cal, I did get a Total NV, at the promo day for the Pro Shop.

Doesn't do a thing for me. Its not in the bag or even the car. I've used it in 5 different houses and don't think I've shot over 185 with it. It skids way too much and the move off the breakpoint is not that special.

Jeff, you don't really carry all 7 to league do you?

In my bag at all times:
Deuce - heavy oil
X-Factor - medium oil
Too Hot - light oil
White Dot - Dry/Spare

For tournaments I might add:
Thrash - pearl particle ( I had a Trauma Recovery but I gave it away. I got this in
a trade )
Fear Factor- particle

At home ready for anything:
RevMaster
Mutant
Blazing Violet 3D
Inferno
Nemesis

15 pound balls not in use:
Monster Smashr
Classic Zone
Depth Charge
Triple X Factor
Storm Spare ( Viz a ball )

I bought the Inferno and the Nemesis to replace the X-Factor and the Deuce but I prefer my X and my Deuce. I think I will stick to Storm in the future. I went back to the old reliables.

I am eyeing a Thunderstruck, Agent, and a Pyro. In no particular order.
I usually carry 3 or 4 balls to any league or tourny I bowl in. This includes the spare. If I ever hit the big time I will carry more.

This is what I used to tote around as a righty:
- Ebonite Xxxcel (#1 choice - 4X4 drilling)
- Ebonite Puma (all around and "go to" ball - 3 1/2 X 5 label)
- Columbia Messenger Pearl Blem (excellent short oil, dry midlane ball 4X3 drill)
- Storm Trauma (best on drier conditions or for inside angles 4 1/2 X 4 pin high)

At the ready were:
- Roto-Grip Retro Roto (hardly used 4 1/2 X 4 1/2)
- Brunswick Command Zone (excellent on fried lanes 4X4 pin on CG drilled through ring finger)
- Ebonite Xcel Pearl (good hook/set ball for lighter patterns 5X4 pin low)

Now, I only have one ball drilled lefty - Columbia Messenger Pearl Blem drilled 4 1/2 X 4. I have a Columbia Wrath waiting to be drilled once I find a comfortable grip that I'll probably drill 4 X 5.

My bag is listed in my signature. I'm really liking MoRich so I will probably stick with them when I'm ready to replace something. My go to ball right now is my Awesome Hook.

In the car I have a target zone spare ball that I have rarely used. I shoot most of my spares with my Venom.

In the house I have a Columbia Messenger TI Traction that it's totally dead, even after being resurfaced.
