Can you go from the RS-X directly to the Ultra Sonic if the RS-X starts hooking too much? Or do you need something in between them?

Trying to figure out a good 3-4 ball arsenal for someone on a budget.

RS-X (sanded to 800)
Ultra Sonic (polished to 1500)
Sonic X Pearl or Solid (polished to 2500-3500)
Spare Tire (Polished to 3500)

Would this work or are there gaps?

oooooooooooohhhhhhh...whoa!!

If you're leaving 9-pins, with little threat of the addition of the 4-pin along with the 9-pin, that's EXACTLY where I want to be playing. Miniscule speed/hand/lane adjustments will help try to eliminate the 9-pins but, if you're playing a shot that doesn't break down a bunch, you've found your happy place.

I wouldn't look to try to make the RSX (whenever I get one) compliment my RS-1, because my RS-1 has midlane like no other, if I drill up the RS-x in the same manner, I think that after my line is done with the RS-X there would be nothing left for my RS-1.

This is kind of what I was talking about. What the above poster said.

Because if you think about it... if you are using your RS-X for a few games and it becomes too strong say in the midlane and backend, then if you step down to the RS-1, then that ball will be too strong also wouldn't it? So therefore, it would be better to just go down to the Ultra Sonic it seems?

But....BMMs drill is different......he's got a lower pin about a 2 1/2 from pap,...lower flare, but earlier start, on a super low rg ball to begin with.

What I'm saying its this.........

RS-X w/ 800 smooth with a 4x4, then an RS1 (box) with a 5x4, ....trust me, they'll complement each other....

On the other hand.......yes, he could go a Retro Res also ...if he did that he could probably keep the Retro in box w/ the same drill, but personally I'd have/want a bigger gap....

My Roto 3 ball line-up if I had to decide right this second.......

FOR ME:
RSX 800 smooth 4x3
RS1 box 4.5 x 3.5
Super Sonic box 4.5 x 3.5
