I currently throw the Phaze 2 (50x4.5x35) in league as a benchmark ball. My ball in later games would be the Hyroad X (75x4x30). I won a Track Paradox Red (60x4x30) that is my only asymm ball. It isn't strong enough in heavy oil for me to throw my regular speed/hand though so i haven't used it much. I have a short pin Magnitude 055 but i only throw that on beat up wood lanes so far. I don't have any pin down balls either.
I won 2 balls in a raffle Saturday and I'm leaning toward the Physix and IQ Tour Emerald. Would these be too close to what i already have? Would a pin down asymm be good for heavy oil when I go to State and Nationals in the next few weeks?
Stats: Avg 190-200 between 3 houses, 15-16 mph, matched speed/revs, high track, 55 degrees rotation, 10 degrees tilt (but working to increase it some)
Any helpful advise if there would be better balls to choose or what key layouts/covers i'm missing to be prepared for 6+ game tourneys? I have 2 purple hammers that i've thought of using a heavy/long patterns if need be, but i do have 2 free balls coming my way asap though.
THANKS!

I think those would be fine choices with what you currently have. IQ Emerald will be earlier and sharper than the X. Physix has been said to basically be an asym Phaze 2.

Honestly if it were me; I would look at something lower end like a Hustle HSB or a Match Up. That way, you would have everything covered from heavier oil down to lighter oil.
Physix
Phaze II
Hyroad X
Magnitude
Hustle HSB/Match Up
Purple Hammer
This would get you through a multitude of conditions and allow you to be successful when you encounter those tournaments consisting of 6 or more games.
