A lot of playing dry or "toast" lanes is more than equipment. Having had the wonderful pleasure of playing the 5th squad of tournaments without any re-oiling, I have found some success.
Where I could play in as deep as 20-25 at the arrows and use a breakpoint of around 5 with a Vis-A-Ball, I could also just change hand position, add some speed and play 15 with a breakpoint of 7-8 with a SonicX. All by hand position and speed.
Instead of my "normal" hand position, I tend to "suitcase grip" the ball, from set-up, right trhrough to release. This gets the ball down the lane, and still has some "pop" on the backends. (a tip I got from an instructor that advises some PBA members). This may not work for all, or even a few, but has alowed me to conquer a few more conditions.
