I am a beginning bowler, and average 155-165. The local lane has older equipment and wooden lanes that are very dry most of the time.  I bowl down and in, generally down the 5  board using an original inferno and power machine (16mph). Both of these balls are too strong and generall end up hitting high or going brooklyn.

Any suggestions on a good dry lane ball. One of my friends suggested a V2clean.

Thanks

Old lanes call for old balls.

Look for a Hammer Urethane.

Definitely the first thing you need to do is learn to play different lines. You won't always be able to play down and in on every condition you see.

The other part of that equation is I'm afraid you chose and paid for the wrong ball (Power Machine) to ever combat a truly dry condition. I know the temptation exists to always buy the latest and greatest, but sometimes conditions dictate something else.

If you're going to use a Power Machine, you need to move very deep in and learn to cross boards.

If you're determined to play down and in, if those lanes are truly dry, you need to go to something much, much weaker.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will try and change balls first and see if that helps.
