Basically, when small adjustments lead to bigger-than-expected changes in reaction.  You move a pinch to get around a dry spot and suddenly find yourself in a puddle (or vice-versa).

Wet-dry typically means that there's a big difference between the wetter middle part of the lanes and the drier outsides.  Sport-shots aren't usually wet-dry (they seem more like wet-wet or dry-dry to me).

Actually, balls that are over/under are usually caused by the ball retaining energy too long.  A ball that does this will skate too long in the oil and jump too violent off the dry.  Balls that read the midlane faster and have smoother backends will conquer this type of condition because the ball will help blend in that lane condition for more control.

lorok,

Yes, but no.  Over/under is exactly what is describes.  Over-reaction, under-reaction.  Small moves do cause this.  A small move inside causes the ball to skate too far down the lane before it gets into a roll.  A small move outside causes the ball to hook too soon or too much.  I think I explained it better this time.  A ball burns up because the heads are fried or there simply isnt enough oil volume to help the ball conserve energy for a backend reaction.  To some, is is confusing to know he difference.  Once you have been in the game a little longer, it gets easier to understand.
