I assume you are playing on flatter patterns rather than house shots. On house shots you can always get outside the oil to create back end, or play deeper in the oil to tame the back end. That option is not available on flatter patterns, and is what really makes sport patterns a challenge more so than the smaller margin of error. Only real advice I can give is to not fight the long oil, but work on squaring up and staying behind the ball for more end over end. Super strong back ends present a different problem. Whether you are a straighter player or a power player the key is finding something mild that will be smooth off the breakpoint. Urethane can even be a good alternative if carrydown doesn't become a problem.
