I'm using a reasonably worn out XXX Factor most of the time right now. I bought a friend's Hammer Hot Sauce a early last year, but the damn thing hooks too early, and I usually have to bag it before the first game is over. The XXX doesn't have the back-end pop anymore, but it revs up easily for me as I don't put a lot of hand in it. When that's too much for the condition I drop to an Ebonite Bash. The most potent combination I ever had was an Ebonite Total NV and a V2 Dry. I cashed in a bunch of brackets at the USBC Open with them. The V2 cover split when I shipped it to Vegas, and the Total NV just flat out stopped carrying at my regular house. I should tell you that I only bowl once a week now and have stopped tournament bowling, so I'll probably never see a 200+ avg again. I only achieved that once anyway. I had to take a year off recently when I was unemployed, and I can't seem to get my game together consistently. I'm very streaky...
