venom recoil pretty much all 3 games in 3 different houses, it's a criminally underrated ball.

+1 about most versatile ball ever seen and love pop it has on the end.

Me - Morich Mojave and spare ball (ball working great and helps cover inconsistent operator error)

House shot league:
IQ Tour Emerald
Hustle AU
Plastic

After starting the season with stronger equipment and open launch angles, I have gone with the straighter is greater approach with the Emerald and Hustle with a lot of success the last 2 weeks.

Sometime house shot/sometime sport shot unsanctioned "league":
Sure Lock
Hyper Cell Fused
IQ Tour Solid
IQ Tour Emerald
Hustle AU
Plastic

This 6 ball bag covers just about every condition for me.

Idol Pro mostly for first few games. Will transition to Hyroad or Hustle Ink, depending on what the transition is doing.

3 different leagues carrying the same for all 3 (2 different houses)

Hustle Ink, Idol Pearl, Phaze 2

Balls that occasionally make it into the bag

Idol, Winner Pearl, SoniQ

I'll be adding a Astro Physix for a storm challenge tourney this winter and am also really intrigued by the Gravity Evolve ball looked great when I threw it at a demo the other day.
Currently in the bag(s):
Idol
Idol Pearl
Phaze 2
Hustle Ink

Idol Pro, Pro Motion, Phaze 2 are the core of any bag that goes anywhere.  Idol Pearl is first in any second bag, and then it's a mix depending on where I'm going and what I'm bowling on.

I bowl tournaments every weekend usually on patterns but I don't bowl a league due to the downfall of youth leagues in my area.
I am a two handed bowler but have a slightly lower rev rate than most. My arsenal that I take to most tournaments,

900 Global Flux
Storm Phaze II
900 Global Honey Badger
Hammer Black Widow Pink
Storm Hy-Road Pearl
Columbia 300 Eruption Pro Blue
Hammer Purple Urethane
Motiv Covert Tank

Paradox Black
Choice Hybrid
Paradox V x2
Matrix Hybrid
Matrix Solid
Destiny

Lots of higher end stuff I know I prefer that to weaker stuff

One house is afraid of using much length or volume on their house pattern so a Motiv Covert Tank 97% of the time there, or traditional Urethane Combat Tank.

Other house uses a lot of volume and moderate length so anything I feel like, Motiv Forge Fire has been ridiculously good and making me look good on it, so that's been the hot ball, and the Motiv Hydra has been the go to step down ball when the pattern blows up.

Haven't gotten into many tournaments lately, but Jackal Ghost and Venom Shock are the 2nd and 3rd ball in my tournament bags after my spare ball.

I'm adjusting to moving to a new house since my old one closed down. Moving to synthetics from wood. Having taken a step back from tournaments I've been trying to use balls with less use that have been buried in my closet.

This week I used a DV8 Thug Corrupt and a 900 Global Eon, Motiv Sniper for spares

Currently, at one house Radical Conspiracy, Motiv Forza GT, 900 Global X and Storm Mix spare ball.
The other house Roto Grip Hustle Ink, 900 Global Boost Cardinal Red Pearl, 900 Global After Dark Pearl, and Storm Polar Ice spare ball.
I also use the Hammer Purple Urethane at both houses when conditions call for it.

Down to using a Slingshot with slip agent for game 2 and 3.  Oil is optional in this house.  Might bust out 16lb PG Dry/R for no tap week coming up.  Wish that ball had a core though but if leave 10 pin oh well.

About a month ago I punched up a few Radical rocks. Really liked the roll and the covers read the lane earlier than my Storm and EBI stuff which is what I needed. Punched a few more but VERY impressed with both Prisms thus far. Really tried to stay away from Brunswick poured stuff for a long time but seems to be matching up better. For now.
