If you want a tame soution for rather light lanes - in order to combat over-reactions - I'd suggest a ball with a medium to higher RG and a semi axis drilling (pin at about 2" from PAP, CG either in the palm area for a long pin or with a bigger balance hole on the PAP if it is a short pin).
If you take a strong piece like the VG, you CAN drill it weak, but IMHO the overall package is very strong, both core and cover, so that a weaker basis would be more promising. Just use the VG for what it is intended, not on ridden lanes and very thin oil. Personally, I would not "kill" a ball just to make it suitable for conditions that it was not made for. IMHO, that's nonsense, and a "dead" ball will hardly carry well.

Personally, I have an old Power Groove Proactive Black Sparkle with a semi axis layout, polished up. While it is a special purpose piece for me and rarely sees use, the overall reaction and utility should be a potential concept for you - it is a rolly piece that has to be played aggressively, but makes a smooth arc/hook and hardly over-reacts at all. This is a no-flip ball, due to the layout.

I posted a review about it, you might check it (video included) for reference:

Many other balls would also make a good basis. An Ogre Pearl could be an option, or an Avalanche Pearl. Maybe even a 2Fast or polished 2 Furious, but I'd consider these both already as balls with a rather strong cover. My PGPBS is just great due to its high RG AND the higher differential, plus the particle cover that evens out even more the ball's overall reaction.

If the lanes are drier and you want a ball to roll out just throw anything up the dry. It will hook and set because it burns its energy early.
