hi thedjs,

based off of the information that you provided, it appears that the layout and ball matches well with your "style of play."  generally speaking, bowlers with slower speeds would roll balls with longer pin to pap distances, polished or pearl covers.  however, if a bowler's rev rate and speed match a bowler could utilize what you are presently using.  a bowlers degree of tilt is also a factor.

for several of my senior customers whose rev rate and speed match, i will usually, but not always, choose a ball that has a fairly strong core with a milder coverstock.  even though speed is an issue, the stronger core will still allow the ball to have some continuation as it enters the pocket and the shorter pin to pap will offer some control on the backends.


when choosing your "dry lane" ball, remember that coverstock determines the amount of length through the front part of the lane, the core dictates where and when the ball reads the middle of the lane and layout determines the amount of angle of entry in the backends.

i would suggest that you have your pro shop operator(if he already hasn't)watch you bowl and then choose a ball and determine a pip to pap, val and height and then determine the most appropriate layout.

most manufacturers produce balls with arc and flip characteristics.  

hope this helps.
