Thanks for the reply,

I considered the Anger as well a few other balls that were stronger than the BWP.

But I'm going to assume that the BWP will work fine for the fresh shot. I was looking for a ball that I could use when the shot broke down as a "closing ball" on the last game or game and a half.

revtrex-very good stuff to hear.  I was hoping the BWP would similar in length and stronger in backend motion.  I have the RXS300 layed out with the "trick layout" but with the MB in a stronger position.  I get tons of length and a strong movement off friction that has allowed me to use it on a variety of shots, as long as there is friction down lane, and on a THS-there always is.  It is good to know that I may be able to get my favorite reaction, only stronger with the BWP.

I'm still looking for a ball that will I can go to with the same length and same backend motion on a broken-down shot.  From your description, the Vibe may not fit the bill (Maybe a Toxic with a weaker drilling?)

I won't be bowling a lot of tournaments this year, but I have some stuff lying around to fill in the gaps in terms of ball reaction, hook strength, etc.

Nevertheless, appreciate the help!  

Yah, they did change the shot last season to a flood since there was another/bigger league after us.

Several others tried using sanded balls or stronger balls to try and get the ball to read the midlane better.

For me, it was a matter of finding a ball that came back strongly when it found friction at the end of the pattern.  I guess thats why I love the RXS300 reaction so much.

My main concern was that the BWP wouldn't be enough, so its very encouraging to hear the input given by everyone thus far.  

So I am very sure that BWP will do its job.  I am still on the fence about what ball will fill the role of when the shot breaks down.  

I need a ball with a strong backend motion to deal with carrydown, but still cleanly clear the heads and allow me to stay in my "comfort zone" longer.

With the current THS, once the lanes break down I have to make a huge move in and fish for a line.  By the time that happens, I don't have much bowling left to do, and my last game average is suffering.  If I can find a ball that holds the line I play better, I am sure my game can benefit more.

azguy-I haven't ruled anything out yet.  I was just unsure about whether or not the Toxic or the Vibe would do what I needed it to do.  I have gotten conflicting suggestions as to what ball would compliment the BWP the best.

In terms of "weaker drilling" for the Toxic-any suggestions?  I am drilled the widow using a 5-5 1/2 Pin to PAP drilling, 75degree MB layout that has worked well for me.

I was thinking for the Toxic, maybe another 5 1/2 in drilling with the pin under the middle finger to smooth out the reaction a bit.

I've experimented with a few pin over drillings.  I love them on my "benchmark balls".  

But for the shots that have broken down, I find them a bit too uncontrollable.  It seems like once they read the friction point, they just shoot off of it.  This worries me a lot, especially after reading some reviews of the backend strength of the Toxic.

I was going to lay this ball out with the same pin-pap length that has worked well, and as mentioned put it pin under-around the middle finger.  My main concern is the ball rolling out.  I had a ball drilled with the same layout but pin over-and it never finished (though remeasuring it...it was probably a 6in pin-pap or so).

You make a good point about locating and using the MB point on the ball.  I was planning on putting it in the "strong position" and drilling an x-hole into that point to try and create more assymetry in the core for a stronger backend move to counter the possiblity of rollout.  I just hope this plan I have for this ball (if i get it) works.
