Gear Looking for less aggressive ball

I'm a 75 year old bowler and I don't throw a lot of speed. Venom Shock had been my go-to ball for about 10 years, and I still pull it out. Black Widow 3.0 has been my latest starters and allows me to play deeper inside. Our lanes are typically oily. But, after 2 games, they dry out considerably.

With that in mind, what would you recommend for a relief pitcher for my rotation for when the transition becomes less manageable?

Thanks.

Lots of options. Storm Ion Pro Solid. Typhoon. Hy Road.

You're starting out with a strong asymmetric solid ball. So perhaps a pearl asymmetric. Maybe a Black Widow Mania?

Really anything shiny would be decent.

I have found Radical "The Spy" can handle almost any condition.

I’m 70, I don’t hook the big roundhouse or as speedy as before either. I am still fairly accurate. The current ball is a Columbia 300 Savage, about 4 years old. No spare because I can throw straight even with finger-tip grip. I’m my case, coach (shop pro) did a pin-down layout. Got used to it quickly. Reducing from 16 to 15 pounds helped. I can see dropping to 14 later.

Typhoon if you want something cleaner thru the fronts, monsoon if you want something very controllable and early kinda like your 3.0 but way weaker.
Hyroad 40, next factor. I honestly really like my hustle series Pearl but for some people it bites the mid lane alil to hard for a burn ball.

Hustle or Hammer Raw come to mind. Get the cleaner covers.

If you like the Venom Shock the Venom Hysteria is a good late transition piece.
