get another AI?
they're still available out there.

for lighter oil, get a smokin inferno, drill with the pin low to help smooth out over/under, gets a good read to blend with the AI reaction qualities.

Hmmm, I'd have a look at Storm's Agent line - IMHO a similar basic symmetrical core design with a low RG core, and I guess a Special Agent would be quite close to an AI reaction wise, from what I can tell. The pearl original Agent is more light-footed than an AI, reminds me more of the OI.

It is very hard to find a reaction replacement for a certain ball from a different manufacturer, since there are different design philosophies involved. Finding a ball for a similar lane condition as an AI is not the problem, but if you want the ball to do exactly the same thing, it will be more difficult.

If you don't get another pearlized activator based shell it may be hard to find a reaction like that.  The closest I've seen in the benchmark rolly/even/versatile pearl combination are the Storm Agent, Storm Shift, and Roto Grip Mystic.  The Mystic is probaly your closest bet.  The light particle load gives it that "stuck to the lane roll" that activator is famous for.
