I'm thinking go with the NVD or Magic instead.

I would say no. I have to get mine to the friction or it isn't coming back.

If you want to stick with Columbia look to either the Momentum Swing or Resurgence. I've used my NVD on longer oil patterns and it great at 1000 abralon. But it all depends on your style of bowling and where you play your line at.

The PS works just fine for heavy or longer patterns. Obviously there are other options out there that may work better, but make some surface adjustments and use a strong layout and it will work great

Lots of opinions and very little facts in this thread.

We know nothing about gokenong game like speed, rev rate, axis tilt, etc.  If he throws the ball 13mph, the power swing might be great on heavy oil.  Plus, with the right surface the Power Swing should handle heavy oil without any issues.

So, gokenong, could you tell us alittle more about how you throw the ball????

Great choice, but if you can wait, why not wait until after the bowl-expo and see what Columbia has to offer,

Drilled a Power Swing for a guy this week that has a heavy rolling ball with low speed.  He wanted something stronger, so I drilled him up the PS and polished it to combat his low speed.  The first few shots he threw with it were just short of amazing.  He threw one ball that made it to the camera and it looked like someone was standing in the gutter and kicked it left.  When the ball went through the pins the 6 10 was left standing (btw, it was a fairly solid pocket hit).  A scout came and took out the 6.  I was initially worried that it was going to be to snappy, which could have been fixed with a little abralon.  But he loves it and doesn't want it changed yet.  
This ball along with the Momentun Swing are very underrated balls.  There are going to be some very good deals on Momentum Swings (and PS too perhaps), don't hesitate to snap one of these up for the right price.
