For Motiv, if avoiding Urethane, I would go like 2” pin to Pap Ghost.

why is urethane out of the picture? especially if your username is highrevvin?

I think the Motiv Hydra is also a very fine choice.

I've use urethane on broken down patterns, hooking heads, and wooden lanes. On the flip side I never got comfortable on fresh short sport patterns using it. 

Pieces I've used over the years: OG Natural, Supernatural, Black Hammer, Black Widow Urethane (beast!!!)

how set on Motiv are you.  because for all patterns short or dry, i LOVE my 900 global After Dark Pearl

Yes!!! Picked up the pearl a few weeks ago, amazing ball, have yet to try on sport. Drilled it 5" x 65 deg VAL. Beautiful hook phase for hooking heads, very continuous through friction all the way to the pocket. Best dry lanes ball ever!

i use it up the gutter one hand for house shots, but i'm converting to two hands and using my sport shot league(its free and unsanctioned for the navy) to start my conversion to two hands for the summer.  and holy wow its been nice for me.  and pretty versatile.  all of our sport shots have an OOB outside of 5 when i bowl just one handed.  well, i can actually play up the ditch in the "OOB" two hands, or i can get inside of 5, get deeper with my feet, and have a nice swing to it.

for two hands, i'm pretty sure i can build a 3 ball arsenal out of After Darks, i can drill a solid and knock the shine off it and have it drilled pin right of ring(same as my current ADP), then i can get another ADP and drill it pin way up for two hands and have it go super long.
