I'm going to chime in on this one.  Bounty, Break Pearl, Break, Maniac, Pearl Creature, Link.  I am bypassing the Creature solid due to the link is not as weak of a ball as people are thinking.  The reason I skipped the Break S75 is for me, it's about the same as the Break Pearl.  It would have been a good choice had the Bounty not come out.  All of 900 Global equipment is top notch.  Awesome people as well to do business with.  Technically, I think the Maniac would be before the Break since the Maniac gets into a roll earlier and not snap as hard as the Break.

hello delpzooka
   the s75 ball has an extra element added to the resin mix to make it a soaker ball.. this ball actually likes more oil in it then it does having it taken out of it.. this type of ball becomes stronger the dirtier it gets in a manner of speaking, you do not want to clean this ball after each 3 game set.. you want to bake it after about 60-75 games in and do not alter the cover on this ball leave it as out of the box state.. the s75 will be earlier rolling and should be stronger in the backend department depending on how it is drilled .. the break solid is strong but not as strong as the s75.. for a arsenal I would suggest a bounty, s75, the break solid, the break pearl(1st - 4 balls are asymmetrical cores) and a creature pearl(symmetrical core).. depending on how much hand you have the maniac is a very early rolling ball(could be a conditional ball) also the link I think is a conditional ball too.. Im not having very much luck finding the right surface to keep mine at, very oil/dry sensitive for me.. look into getting a global awakening(symmetrical core) and maybe even a (new company but being poured by 900global) kinetic solaris(symmetrical core, but supposedly very angular).. hope this help alittle.. slashrr69

delpzooka, with any arsenal, you should spend time thinking about how your game progresses as you bowl, and the difficulties that you run into. You should look at where you bowl the most, and what conditions you encounter the most,..and then decide what you want in your bag to combat those obstacles.

An arsenal can be 2 balls or 10 balls, depending on your bowling endevors. A bowling arsenal is a collection of TOOLS, each one selected by YOU to do a specific job based on your ability and skill,...and the job or jobs you may encounter, (much like a fisherman selects his rods and reels, and a hunter selects his rifles). The first thing I suggest is to confer with a educated professional on the subject, one who can see your abilities in action, I suggest a good pro shop employee.  Second, educate yourself with as much knowledge about equipment as you can, read-read-read, and ask questions.
That way you have some idea about where you want to go in building an arsenal,and you can understand and talk to your pro shop guy. Third, I suggest you buid your "TOOL SET" slowly one piece at a time, and learn each piece before getting another one. That will help you to know what you need to help complete what your arsenal needs, and avoid too much overlap of equipment.
Lastly, don't buy a ball just because it's the new ball of the month, and I just gotta have that ball. Buy a ball with a PURPOSE, like buying a tool that you need to do a specific job. When you have an arsenal you'll be able to look in your bag and get out a ball to do a specific job,..and not look in your bag and say "EENIE MEENIE MINIE MOE...which of these balls should
I throw"...jime
