I am looking for a dry lane ball. From what I have read, the Neptune would be good for that. Does anybody have one and how do you like it for dry lanes?

Also, has anybody used the full roller drilling on the rotogrip website that places the pin at the 1130 position? I was wondering if this would help make the ball weaker and better for dry lanes.

I just got one 2 weeks ago for dry conditions and I love it.

As for which drilling to go with, I went with drilling style A with the MB in the C position, basically pin over ring finger and MB kicked WAY out. This is the perfect drilling for what I wanted, lenght with moderate controllable back end.

The best part I found with this ball is the pin action, it's not a heavy angular ball, but it hits like it is. Very good pin carry.

I was considering a Cherry Vibe for a light oil ball, but I've seen that in action on a first shift THS, and it's way too strong for a light oil ball.

I use my Neptune on a second shift house shot and shot 691 with it out of box.

I also used to have a MoRich Sahara in my bag, but that ball should definitely be rated medium oil and not light, way too angular and strong for light oil.

Out of all the equipment I've seen/thrown, the neptune is the best choice for light oil or fried shots.

Good luck and hope this helps!

As a shameless plug, I have one up for sale on eBay right now:

For me, it had easy length and a surprisingly angular backend... however, it needed some dry boards.. if there was some carry down, it just wouldn't consistently make the turn. When they were dry, it was money. I've never tried the "11:00" full roller layout, but it seems reasonable that it would give you plenty of length and a mild reaction as the pin is essentially in your track.
