Depending on how dry it is, you may just need a really mild ball, just short of  urethane.

Drilling extreme: ever try a 4/4.5" pin-CG ball, putting the pin at about a 45 degree VAL angle and putting the CG in your PAP, with a weight hole in the CG/PAP?
You should get decent to good length with an almost rolly, end over end roll at the breakpoint. Should add a lot of control.

This used to be used for pretty dry conditions with a medium-light to medium oil pearl 15 - 20 years ago. I rarely see it today.

I don't care much for urethane but I picked up a RG Venus and love it. high rg low diff pearl drilled 4.5 pin down would be my vote. sorry I cant get anymore technical then that. so probably any pearl with a 2.6 and .028 diff

This almost sounds like a 135* degree layout I used to use on Whip pearl back in the day. It would ignore the condition of the fronts and get down lane with a very smooth roll, regardless of the backends.
