I don't have one sole manufacturer I use so I thought I'd post this here.
I'm bowling in two different houses, one where the lanes are well-oiled and consistent, and one where the lanes are typically drier and inconsistent week to week. (They made us bowl on lanes after a tourney used them yesterday, I tried every adjustment I know of and couldn't get a consistent shot)
Right now my arsenal is the Colombia Dr Jekyll, a Phenom Unleashed as my secondary ball / spares on the left side and a plastic ball for my 10 pins.
At the well-oiled house the Jekyll is working very well and I can hit the pocket flushly 80-90% of the time. At the dry / inconsistent house right now it's like I am a different bowler, I can hit the pocket flushly only 20-30% of the time which obviously is unacceptable. The majority of my strikes there seem to be of the Brooklyn variety right now. Oddly, during the Summer there I had no problems and had an average 25 pins higher in the same house.
Now the Dr. Jekyll
http://www.ballreviews.com/reviews/reviews.asp?BallID=657&ManufacterID=3 is showing the ball as being one for dry lanes already. Can someone give me a suggestion for a new ball to use on dry / inconsistent lanes?
Some additional info: I'm a righty, my first ball speed is about 14.5 mph and I throw with a moderate amount of revs. I'm weak at playing an inside line to the right and prefer to stand at the middle dot or to the left of it if needed.
