I'm planning on some major overhauls to my game this summer; working with a new coach & am thinking of going with a whole new line-up; or at least some new layouts for my current equipment. Right now I'm throwing around 17 mph, with low-med revs (still working through an injured wrist) My biggest problem is getting the ball to come back to pocket when there's carrydown & the lanes are in transition. Most of this is inability to make correct adjustments; but some I think may be not having the right ball available.
My current balls are:
Rogue Cell (pin under ring, CG kicked out about 1")
Mutant Cell (pin in ring, CG stacked)
Rogue Cell (pin beside ring, CG stacked)
Storm Reign (pin in ring, CG stacked)
There's some obvious holes/overlap that need to be addressed, I know that. So I'm looking for advise on what would be an ideal line-up to try to cover most of the bases. Any advise is always welcomed!

Rogue drilled to snap
Nomad Pearl drilled strong but predictable
Dark Star drilled like the Nomad
That is what I would go for. I think that would cover things well for just about anything but the driest.

right now Im using
Nomad Pearl - pin up over bridge CG kicked 45 deg no weight hole
Dark Star - drilled exactly the same as the Nomad Pearl
Mars- pin slighly above ring CG stacked no weight hole
Oracle - drilled Rico (this is the least amount of jump off the dry for me but hooks more than the Dark Star and Mars over all)
I really like this lineup a lot
if I had to change I would maybe take away the oracle and add a silver streak SE drilled Rico or even a Neptune drilled Rico
(I use an original purple rhino pro for when the shot really starts to dry out and go away)

If you dont like the Cell line then, the nomad solid would be a decent oil ball with lots of surface

my nomad pearl works very well for me in heavy oil
I have a lot of revs and a lot of mph
I can use the nomad on a heavy volume shark pattern just fine usually average around 215-220 on shark with it
I normally just knock the polish off of it if Im hitting really heavy volume

Rogue Cell oin above ring, small hole down
Nomad solid pin above/right of ring, small hole down
Cell Pearl pin above bridge
Dark Star pin under thumb... No, not a typo.

cell pearl stacked (short pin and have)
nomad solid pin above and between fingers (wish i had)
nomad pearl rico (also have)
that should cover it

I'm thinking that I'm gonna keep my mutant, my pin-under rogue and the reign drilled as they are. But I want something that would fall between the weak drilled mutant and the reign. Thinking of either nomad (solid or pearl) and am wondering what layout would put the ball in the void?
Suggestions?

Cell (solid) pin over bridge MB swung 35*
Cell Pearl pin over bridge, MB swung 35*
RS-P pin at 4 below ring MB out 45*
Silver Streak SE pin above bridge MB out 45*
Sonic X (pearl) pin over bridge CG stacked
Truth be told I don't really find much use for my Cell solid. There isn't many condition that my Silver Streak and RS-P can't handle. I'll throw the Cell Pearl when I want to change it up or be really clean through the fronts. I like the arsenal even though it's from equipment well past it's prime.

A Mutant Cell 30x4x60 with pin down
A Rogue 4x4 pin up with a delayed reaction
A Dark Star 5x3 with pin up 1 inch
Best of luck...
