The Chainsaw is probably the best dry lane reactive ball on the market. Not other ball has a diff that low, so it just glides through the heads. Load it up with finger and side and away you go.

The H2O will definitely start its hook sooner. =:^D

I threw a Chainsaw last night that a friend of mine had. We have similar drilling specs so I was fairly comfortable thowing it. I did have excellant length and was not snapping on the back end. It made a smooth move which is what I am looking for. Where I am bowling by the middle of the 1st game the heads are so dry that it is almost impossible to get the length I need to play in an area I am comfortable with and able to score. So far it looks like it might be a Chainsaw I am looking for. Any suggestions on how to drill it if I decide to go with one? My friends was drilled CG out with the pin under the ring finger if I remember correctly. Again I am looking fo r very good length with a strong smooth arc, not skid snap.

Usually when this discussion comes up we talk about the XXXL and the Starburst for a dry lane ball.  Unfortunately one man''s dry lane ball is another man''s medium oil ball.  Depending on speed, release, drilling and surface prep all contribute to how a ball is going to handle a specific lane condition.  I like the THS.  I think the THS can be drilled and the surface prep can handle the light oil and possibly the short oil, but dry lanes, I mean dry lanes, the XXXL series works the best for me.
 
Even the XXXL can be too much ball if you don''t keep the surface cleaned and polished and/or drill the ball too strong. Bowlers today seem to shy away from plastic almost at any cost rather then to throw a plastic for a strike.

I drilled mine with pin an inch over bridge and cg kicked out at 45*
It allows me to from the 1st board to the 7th board comfortably.
Great for when the heads are dry.

It definitely got the length I am looking for but it didn't quite finish enough for me.

Den, the chainsaw is not going to finish really strong, that's the beauty of the ball. Having stronger statics and weight hole placements if necessary will increase the strength of the backend.

Remember, this ball is designed to give you less backend so you can line up closer to the dry. I wouldn't worry too much about the hook as much as how much my score is going up compared to my other balls. =:^D

I would put my Lane masters Hornet up against a Chainsaw any day of my life.

There is no better ball for dry lanes than the Hornet. Have tried many, nothing compares.

If you want a dry lane ball that has unreal carry, then find one over the internet.
