Which ball do you suggest for skid/snap reaction on medium-oily lane?

My Overtime is awesome on that condition. I could build a whole arsenal out of the OT's.

2.5-3 in. 2.5 TW are great specs. You will get one hell of a reaction out of the OT, I loved mine.

Don't get me wrong, the Overtime is an excellent ball.  But it isn't necessarily going to skid/snap on medium-heavier oil conditions as you're looking for.  I would be more inclined to recommend an Angular One.  Just my thoughts.

Overtime is the ticket, covers the boards but will definately skid snap if there oil up front...

how would you compare overtime vs. triple x? currently my triple x has skid and snap reaction, but does have enough backend when it's on medium-oily lane. I want to a ball thats more aggresive in the backend than my triple x. One thing worth mention is that my triple x has a 4in pin. It works fine on medium-dry lane. Thanks for the information.
