So I recently got a No Rules Pearl and absolutely love it. However, one of the houses near me is always a heavy oil shot and my NRP just doesn't drive through it. I thought about getting some of the polish knocked off of it but it works so well everywhere else that I don't want to mess with it for one house.

I'm looking to add to my arsenal a solid ball that works great in oil. Obviously my first choice would be the solid no rules but I'm not trying to drop the heavy cash on a place I don't bowl at as often. I was looking at possibly the haywire or maybe waiting on the dare devil trick but I'm open to other ideas. The pro shop I go to only carries storm, roto grip, Columbia and hammer so preferably would like to keep it within those brands. I'm preferential to roto grip but at the same time, they aren't paying me to use them haha

Disregarding the top/priciest line of balls for each brand I think you can eliminate Columbia 300 as an option. The Impulse, Sideswipe Solid, and Sideswipe aren't going to be factors for oil heavy enough that a No Rules Pearl doesn't react well.

Hammer has the Dark Legend Solid although I'm not sure how much less that costs in relation to the Scandal and Gauntlet. The Rebel Solid is a nice ball but probably not strong enough for what's needed.

For Storm you're looking at the Phaze II. Maybe the Torrent or Rocket Ship too, but neither of those are as strong.

You're on the right track with the Haywire or Dare Devil Trick for Roto Grip. I'd probably wait for the latter out of those two but it's going to be interesting to see how it compares to the Phaze II.

According to the results as seen on TV today,learn to bowl "two-handed",in two shows no one else had a chance. The game as we know it is gone. It's not about accuracy, it's all about "carry".

Stop. Just stop. It's been about carry well before two handers hit the scene.

exactly. I clear 500 rpm's one handed. Spray and pray baby!

Prior to yesterday's shows, EJ Tackett was being touted as the hottest player on the planet and the last time I checked he throws one handed.   
If anyone thinks in today's game only 2 handed players win, then learn how to do it and prove yourself.

Hammer Scandal or Gauntlet

Coor nailed it. Phaze II or Dare Devil Trick would be my thoughts if you don't want to drop the extra cash on the No Rules Solid.
