It all depends upon what kind of oil volume you are bowling on, how consistent the house is with that oil, how much you want to spend, how you throw the ball, whether you are using a spare ball or not, what angle you like to take to the pocket...are you a straight bowler, a outside shot bowler, use the track area, or use the inside area.
So....
Let's say you bowl on heavier oil lanes most of the time. Then you might want to go with the Epic Battle, Epic, and Epic Saga as your three choices. Or the Epic Battle, RX-1 and Saturn, or perhaps the RS-X, RSP, and RS-1 for a little less money.
If you are bowling on "average" conditions most of the time, then either of the two lists I mentioned in my earlier post will work fine.
If you bowl on "lighter" conditions most of the time, then something like a Horizon, Saturn, and Mercury would be your best choices. If there's lot's of carry down then substitute the Venus for the Mercury.
If you bowl predominately down the track area, down and in, then choices should include the Horizon and Saturn for sure. If you like more of an aggressive skid/flip reaction, then the Silver Streak SE is a slightly better choice then the Horizon which is more of an arc type of ball at least for me.
Basically, Roto Grip's current line has bowling balls that will match up to almost any conditions you might find out of the box. And if you need to adjust that their cover stocks take well to tweaking, either polishing or light sanding. Any of the Roto's hit hard and carry well. So that is not a problem. The choices are yours. You will like whatever you buy.
My arsenal includes the following...The Epic Battle, Epic, Silver Streak SE, Horizon, Saturn, and Mercury with the spare tire just having arrived. I have an Epic Saga pre-ordered, just because I love the maximus core.
