I bowl saturday mornings at my local bowling alley and they are very lazy and usually never oil the lanes. So the mids are usually scorched and there is spotty oil all over the place. My S&D and my AF are way too strong and im not really comfortable swinging the ball the amount i have to useing these balls. For instance last wee i was standing 40 throwing abou 10-12 and i was crossing over. Finally i said F-it and used my spare ball but the carrydown didnt let it finish resulting in stone ten pins. The dilemma is will a fired up (pin above fingers) polished to the max work on these conditions or shuld i invest money on a dry lane ball? Other problem is i reallydont liek the way my friends tropical storm hits.Ive heard good things about Track's dry lane balls and also the Sahara from Morich. Suggestions greatly aprreciated

What concerns me here isnt the equipment choice, its that in the initail post reppinNYC said he is standing on 40 and hitting 10-12 Unless you seriously walk towards your target that isnt possible. My advice is to stand 40 and look farther left, say around 18-20 ( while walking straighter ). You might just find enough oil to allow you to use some stronger equipment. Your target shouldnt be much more than 15-18 boards right of where you start. Get yourself away from the track area and you might have more success

Hope this helps you

reppin,

I would suggest the Slate Blue Gargoyle by Visionary.  If you say the midlanes are fried, even a dry lane reactive is going to grab that dry area.  The reason I suggest the Slate Blue, is that is has a urethane cover with a strong core in it.  If you say you are aboe to use your spare ball but leave alot of 10 pins, the urethane cover is going to be a little stronger than the plastic but get through the dry alot easier than the reactives.  With the core in it, it will hit the pin like a typical reactive.  It is advertised as rolls like a urethane, hits like a reactive.  I think this is a good mix with what you encounter on Saturday Mornings.  Whatever decision you go with, good luck to you and hope everything works out.
