I just got a new Hammer Sauce not too long ago.  Took a little getting used to but I like it.  Otherwise I have no idea.  I think I would get another spiral spare ball.

The Sauce have a 2nd one on the way slightly used, going to polish it way up and see how it handles polish. Best Hammer ball I have thrown in about 7 years or so, hits hard and always hooks at the same spot.

My other choice would be Grand Illusion average is up this season after using this ball as a go to bailout type of ball. Hooks on oil and loves to be swung to the gutter on lesser oil shots, always a reaction for this fine ball.

Cell pearl is pretty good but like the solid is a touchy type of ball to me, either it wants to check up to quick or push to far. In between is one of the best balls out there but wrong lane pattern forget it another boat anchor.

Venom hated this ball at first but started to like it alot with the cover knocked down to 2k abby, now it is another ball in the top of my rotation. Smooth and predictable now with polish like the cell pearl it was all over the place, both now are at 2k no polish and are much better usable balls.

 Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, let's see.

   Buy a ball, just because.  Just because I can, I think I would get an AVALANCHE solid.

  I know there are lots flashier, more powerful balls out there, but the pearl version has been absolute MONEY in my hands, but, it is occasionally a touch on the weak side and that's when I need just a little stronger ball that gives me the same read/reaction shape. I know the Sahara has the same cover, but I don't need a stronger weightblock, just a stronger cover, something with the same type motion, just a bit stronger and earlier in the oil than the pearl.

  Now, if we are talking just out of curiosity, and money were NO obstacle, there is NO WAY I could buy just one ball.  Then, my basement would look like Brittons ( videoballreviews ) or mrbowlingnut's!

Probably a Black Widow Solid, just to see if I really just don't match up with the core, or just didn't match up with the Bite.

If you mean the Gargoyle, it was the Clear Gargoyle. (http://"http://cgi.ebay.com/15-Clear-Gargoyle-Visionary-Bowling-Ball-NIB-BLEM_W0QQitemZ250340883774QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBowling?hash=item250340883774&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318")

I think that seller in the above link still has some left in 14#, 15#, and 16#  so you could contact him.

The One Pearl is the ball to get.  Looks good, rolls good, hits great.  Could very well be the best ball Ebonite has released since the V2 Solid.  Saw one go down the lane with my own eyes the other night.  That ball is SWEET!!!
