What I have done just recently to allow me to continue to stand left and throw left(as a lefty) when the lanes break down or if the condition is just really dry on the outside boards(anything outside of the 2nd arrow) where I prefer to play.....I just picked up an AZO Fat Man bowling ball--I know it is a rare find, but I found one in my weight NIB, and I had it drilled with the mildest drilling possible and I polished it up with beans secret sauce and what I have is a ball that fits in between my visionry purple ice executioner and my visionary infra-red amulet(plastic cover with a performance core. This ball is closer to the amulet than the executioner but with a much more harder hit than the plastic. I get lots of length the way it is laid out and polished up , and gives me enough to enter the pocket and hit hard.  If you can still find one, get it and see if it does the trick for you, it did for me.

Ebonite Bash is a good choice. I love mine.

columbia JAZZ, it skids really long but can still pick up a roll with its little bit of core that it has and it will carry well, you don't loose anything.


I love mine for dry lanes and for spares, not to mention the newer ones have some pretty colors.

I also would suggest the ebonite bash . the original purple and yellow

I need a dry lane ball. Something that has some movement at the back end, but will not force me to "stand left and heave it right". Throwing my regular stuff hard enough to keep it on the right side of the head pin makes my semi-torn up shoulder hurt.

My really old Blue Dot has a really slick, hard surface and no "real" core but I do not get enough of a wrinkle out of it to provide satisfactory carry.

Is it better to have a really slick surface on a ball that has a "real" core or have some surface on a ball with a pancake core? Or ......?
