Dry lane ball
« on: March 06, 2014, 11:03:31 PM »
I'm looking for suggestions for a reactive ball for dry lanes.  I have com up with a couple options (see below), but would like to get your suggestion.

I have come up with:
1. Desert Hook
2. Tropical Breeze
3. Cyclone
4. Freeze
It's all about synchronized pin dancing!

I love my red/silver Storm Mix for both dry lanes as well as corner pins. Ball can be thrown straight with ease or can be made to hook a few inches. It has less than 2" of track flare. More like 1" to 1 1/2".

I should have thought of the Storm Mix even though I do not have the ball. One of my teammates uses the Mix on dry lanes and likes it. Seems like a pretty good ball.

I know it isn't on the list, but the misfit pearl is a really good choice on truly drier lanes.

And this is why asking for ball suggestions online can be so difficult and confusing.  I am sure everyone's suggestion works for them and their conditions along with their style.  But we don't know if the OP is speed or rev dominant or what his idea of dry really is. 

I'm not trying to say never give advice (after all, I did), but this reinforces the need to have a trusted pro shop to be the dominant voice in a bowler's ball selection.  I wish the OP good luck in his search.

I use a 300a on light oil and it seems to do the trick.  I hated it at first, but once I started to play really fried up lanes it went from moving 1" to 3"

I have an original Track 300C I could sell you. 15lbs, new in box, and 1st quality. Ball is absolutely perfect for dry lanes.
