Hi guys
I have an AMF NKryption Code. It comes with an RG of 2.1 and a 600 sanded compound finish.
The ball already has 100+ games on it.
I want to change it's surface to handle shorter and dryer lane conditions.
It's drilled for length with a somewhat strong backend reaction, but when the lanes dry out, I can't get the length I need. The ball is just too early and too strong, even though it lost a lot of it's box reaction after 100 games.
Could you guys recommend some options for surface changes so I can get more length for dryer conditions?
thanks in advance.

Mine is currently at 2k + Snake Oil polish. My first one i had at 4k + polish and it added a couple feet to it's length over out of box

I'm going to agree with Stormed1 and say that the NKrption loves to be at 1500 to 2000 grit and then polished. If your looking to throw on drier conditions you'll definitely want to check out U.F.O. or a polish which contain slip agents. A slip agent will help to push the ball further down the lane, deeper into the dry before the ball starts it's move.

FYI there's no such thing as an RG of 2.1. Its average RG is 2.47. See http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=1&BallID=918
Of course it won't get "good" length!
That ball is NOT designed to handle anything close to "dry" lanes. Its coverstock AND its core are both in the medium-strong range, intended to handle medium to medium-heavy oil patterns.
If you MUST make it milder, sand it, in steps, not skipping any intermediate grits, up to 4000 grit and then apply a heavy dose of a polish with a slip agent, like Valentino's UFO or Powerhouse's Delayed Reaction.
