If they were dry lanes, he wouldn't be able to throw the ball through the 1st and 2nd arrows without a LOT more ball speed, and he already has a decent amount.

 

 

 

No offense intended, but dry to some is not so dry to others.

 

What you call "bone ass dry", I see every third game in one league in one house with ZERO open or league bowling before us. Many better bowlers use plastic or pearl urethane in the third game. In other places I am still using medium oil solid resin in the third game of 2nd shift. So your going down the outside with any resin ball does not strike me as dry lanes, light oil maybe.
