I don't have the hustle ink, but like you described when all else fails and I feel like playing down and in around the 5 board I use my Track Spare + at 3000. The polyester cover gives me the length I need and the asymmetric core gives me the punch I need on the backend.

All of those balls you list have some diff.........I'd probably go to something like my Hectic or Mojave with a taller core and lower diff if you're committing to go out where cacti grow.....

If you move in you're definitely going to want to have some shell and continuation. 

Regardless, whether you decide to move in or play out away from the headpin make the commitment to it.

I know the type of pattern you're talking about, we had a pattern in one house I bowl a couple years ago that was like 44ft and the outsides were smoking dry but if you moved in they were juiced AND long.

If you want a slow response, easy to control piece with good pop, pick up a Global X-2. One of the better balls for this condition that I'v seen.

Personally I use an AZO Gold Fantasy X for the dirt. This is a 3.5"pin ball, drilled stacked with a Mohole on the backside! No polish!

The nature of this ball is to go long, long, long but the Mohole gives it dynamic pop at the backend!

This was a ball made by Lanemasters!

After Dark solid is one of the best dry lane balls I have owned.  It will still over/under, but I have better luck squaring up against a smaller amount of residual oil.  This takes the 2-10 out of play.  Everyone I know who has tried the ball had had very good luck with it.  Really a great core shell match up

Take the surface down, sir.

Initially I knocked off the shine on my Hustle INK and it seemed good. Then I wanted it to go a little longer so I polished it back, but got lots of over /under.. Put the ball away and haven't really been using it. A couple of weeks ago I sanded the ball at 2000 an it was exactly what I was looking for. The ball rolled very smooth, did not ever react, and actually lasted me all 3 games.

Had an ink drilled pin up and hated it. Way to over under, harsh, fast off the spot. Plugged it, went pin down under mid finger big cg kick to the right prob leaving 1-2 ounce side weight no hole. Wow! Now I see what everyone is raving about with this ball. Huge difference, so smooth, slow off the spot. Great piece now for dry lanes. Still not the best for extreme wet, dry lanes but much better than it was with the high pin. I bet a wet abralon sand at 1000, or 2000 it would be great for wet dry house shots. I have it at 4000, wet sand abralon now, no polish. As doom says, 1500 grit polish is evil. Ball was useless before, so glad I plugged, redrilled it. Now I have a piece that fills a gap in my arsenal for dry lanes.

IMO I'd try to use a stronger/sanded ball and play right 'on top' of the wet/dry.  Going with something weaker and playing the dry is an option, but I don't think the Ink will do it.  That ball is A LOT of ball for that price point.
