However, i've sometime encountered really fried up lanes late at nights and the killer is far too aggressive and i find myself standing around the 30 and hitting the 15 or 17 board.
so i went out and bought myself a Sper Trooper. nice ball but the hitting power of this thing is just way less potent than the killer or any of my other high performance balls.
any suggestions on this?

I don't think it's considered a "High Performance" ball, but you quite a bit of bang for the buck.

i had a quick look at the Punisher and it looks like a nice ball giving some length and good hitting power.

If you could do a search on this topic of dry lane balls (since the stupid search engine only goes back 30 days) I'll bet you'll find this topic has been covered a number of times. Let me say it again, Sonic X. I'n not a Roto slappy by any means, but this shell was reccomended to me a zillion times here in BR... finally, after about a year, I finally got one. I should have listened sooner!

30 to the 15-17 is way too deep , that's why i bought the super trooper.
but found that the S. trooper finished very different from my other balls

As a side note, on very dry and "fried" lanes, a "big back end" is usually what you do not want, that's how you end up in trouble.

I love my sonic x, i don't see why you would need anymore of higher performance ball then that for dry.
I agree with you - love my sonic-x as well. However... even though it has a weak layout, it is still too much ball for truly dry/toast conditions. There are other choices out there with less cover and core.

only my 2 cents but my friend just got me to try ultrasonic. what a great weak ball. i also loved my hot wire. if you can find them still. i would recommend the ultrasonic now.
Again, the Sonic family... check 'em out!
