Looking for a ball / drilling combination to beat a long oil pattern.  Pattern seems to be THS-shaped so the outsides do allow an aggressive ball with surface to roll straight up 5-7 board.  Problem is that corner pins are killing me...the ball has no tuck or action at the pocket to kick the corner out.

Transitioning to a stroker style, 16lbs, 350-400 revs, currently the PAP is 5 1/4" right and 3/4" up.  Most success with a V2 Strong with dull surface, pin in drilling (by 'success' I mean the ball can get to the pocket from outside, but forget carry.)  

Hoping to find ball / drilling I can throw 12 to 7 that will actually carry.  May not be possible, but I know there's a lot of cranial firepower in this forum.

I would try a Super Carbide Bomb. This ball loves oil and carries great. A 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 should work perfect for you. Pin just under the ring finger.

If the ball seems to be hooking early, then just polish it up a bit. You'll be amazed with the power and hook of this ball. =:^D

If you're leaving a lot of corner pins and the lanes are dry outside, I wonder if the surface of the V2 STrong isn't too strong, too dull, too rough for the condition. You make it sound like it's getting to the pocket with nothing onthe ball. If I were you, before buying a new ball, experiment with the surface of your V2. Put a little polish, not a gloss shine, just a slight shine on it. Maybe use a bowling ball polish by hand, not with a spinner. Then bowl; check out the reaction. If needs be, then add a little bit more polish.
Maybe this will help it retain energy a little more, for a little more punch.

I second charlest's suggestion.
You may also sand your V2 Strong down to 320-400grit and put some polish on it. Say 600-800grit range. This helps the ball to retain more energy without sacrificing the midlane.
