Yup! I have a Fuel for long / heavy / sloppy stuff.  I have it dull, at 600 (box is 1000 matte) but 600-800 is where I like to keep it because of some SLOP I play in from time to time.....42 ft, heavily headed, overtop carrydown sometimes! (depends on if the proprietor wants to strip the lanes or not!)

Anyhow, drilled 4 strong, this ball won't roll up at your feet, but reads the mids really nice, and has a strong, continuous hard arc thru the deck.  It's the ball that made me fall in love with Roto stuff!

If you have med heavy to heavy, or crappy carry-down, it's a great piece !  Still love mine !

My Fuel is also kept at 600 polished and is my favorite ball.  It's a 15 pound ball with a 3" pin drilled 5 X 5 with the pin beside the ring finger. I don't know if you've ever bowled in Newton, but it tears up the lanes there.  The conditions there are comparible to Albion.

Why change balls? I can miss my target with any of them!
