I'm bowling on extremely dry lanes. I'm not suppose to be hooking a spare ball away from the pocket and still going brook. It's crazy how dry it is.I plan to practice very early (4 - 5am) Saturday morning after Friday night leagues and cosmic bowling, before they dress the lanes mid morning and work on things to combat these dry lanes.I just need some input on what you guys/gals do when faced with such conditions. One thing I'll do is polish my XXXL and my breeze, or get my hands on a true spare ball.I need some ideas so I could work on them when I head out this weekend. I appreciate the input. thanks, it's rough out there in this second shift league.

Might also look at buying some Vise Slip Agent and putting it on as the last step after polish on one of your current balls.

Gave it to my son and had it redrilled. That rubber ball doesn't like oil at all. But on extremely dry lanes that rubber ball grabs the lane and hooks like a bridgestone g-force performance tire. I'm not sure if this ball is considered hard or soft but I figured I'd give you the information. FWIW I use my hammer arson low flare (2014) for extreme dry conditions, works pretty good.
Sounds like a headache. Tried taking something like a Hy-Road Pearl type ball and lofting past the first 10-15 feet from the lane left of you lol?
Look for the nearest exit, exit, locate your car, get in car, put key in ignition, turn car on, drive home. Thats the best advice I can give. No sense in bowling on something so extreme that you will rarely, if ever, see.
