First of all, a sport shot is not your typical heavy oil house shot..

Not sure how your brothers ball is drilled or how he throws the ball but if he is using a road hawg and its not moving, there is a problem with the drilling or the way he is throwing it. I actually have had 2 road hawgs and both of them hooked alot in oil..

Well said, chitown.....

It fine to have 4 dooms with different layout and surfaces.

It not about the power of the core or the surfaces. It's about the combination of both to get better pin reaction.

For exsample:

Track machine

Love the coverstock and love the core but too strong to get any pin reaction ( pin reaction to me is making the pin fly everywhere). But in my league my avg went up from 175 avg to 200 avg now for 2 week.

Morich Awesome Flip

The coverstock is o.k. but not good enough and the core is great. The ball create awesome pin reaction even if your shot is off or goes brooklyn. Got tons of lucky strikes with it.

Cover and core match ups are very important.  I had 2 Rule Delta 1's and this is a very strong ball.  The problem was it hit too hard and would blow the pins back and create bad carry and pin reaction.  I also threw a lot of splits with this ball.

Now the Doom just flat out hits and carry's.  

Another thing about the Doom is the core is actually strong.  It can produce 5" of flare.  That is not a weak core by any means.

I understand the guys point about using different balls in an arsenal.  Hey that is the norm.  

I did an experiment with my Dooms and have found that all of them can make an entire arsenal that can cover almost all conditions.  Lets face it a lot of a balls reaction and oil handling comes from the cover.  Well if I dull a polished ball down to 600 grit it's going to handle more oil.  Now on top of that you include an early rolling layout with a strong pin placement and bingo you have a heavy oil ball.  

I will probably buy different balls and build another arsernal later down the line.  For now I will use my Dooms.  I will see how they work for the first half of this coming bowling season.

chitown,

Please don't think I am knocking your decision to use an all Doom arsenal, I just said I would never do it, but if that works for you, thats great...

I just prefer to use a ball for the condition it was intended for.. If I need to tweek the cover thats fine, but I have never been a fan of having multiples of the same ball in my arsenal, that has never worked for me..

I agree with your statement that the Doom core has a decent flare rating but thats not the only thing that makes a core strong.. There are multiple other things to take into consideration..

Good luck with you Doom arsenal..

Dude not at all.  I'm not feeling that your knocking what i'm doing with my Dooms.  Hey this is the first time I have built an entire arsenal of the same ball.  If the Dooms were not such a great ball for me I wouldn't have done this.

I will probably build another arsenal of different balls later down the line.  I would like to see how other balls roll.  I want a black widow, pain, hawgzilla and vibe.  Those are balls that I will probably get if I make some cash this next league season.

Bud no i'm not taking your comments in any negative way.  I want to here peoples opinions even if they differ from mine.
