Standing as far left against the ball return hit 15 out to 1or2 and beak shot with about 18 mph.  I'm too old for that crap.  I'm seriously thinking of Mr. WhiteDot but I'm worried about deflection.  Is there any newer ball that might hit a little harder.

AMF has an "Xtreme" line of balls that are three piece Pearlized Urethane.  You might think they are plastic but are actually Pearlized Urethane.  They offer a little more pop than a plastic ball, but not much.  Just enough to give you more entry angle on the backend than a plastic for better carry.  The Green/Purple Torando Warning from Ebonite isn't a bad choice either, or the Ruby Red Pearl Urethane Scout from Columbia.

I'd recommend a Dyno-Thane Barrage. Great ball for dry lanes with fantastic carry, doesn't over react when it hits dry (skids too far to play on a medium shot), very smooth all around.

You want a good dry lane ball, get a Storm Big Hit pearl.  Very cheap and rolls great!

You could always go with the Brunswick Monster Slay/R, real strong ball, you actually may need to drill it fairly weak, or polish it, its quite strong, but good thing is, even when its too dry for your medium oil ball, you can throw this beast straight down and in.

AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.
