A strike is a strike and a spare is a spare and a 299 sux

For me the Hot Rod was too strong for dry lanes.I found it worked better on med/dry with good backends.Definately needed some oil.
Sonic X pearl is a much better choice for dry.

There's no time like the right time!

I doubt very highly this ball is good for DRY lanes !  It's a stronger ball than most think based soley on reading responses on the ball when it first came out. (StormLefty)

And, as always, it depends on what DRY is ??

There is doing in not doing

Wrobes, I have one and have drilled it twice, and still no luck for DRY lanes.  If the heads are dry then the ball will move too early, it needs a little oil to get down the lane, and thats with pin ove the finger and MB on my PAP. I find it best for when the backends are BOOMING and you need a ball that won't over react.  I bought a glowing amulet, now thats a Dry Lane ball and it even hits like a Monster. Deoending on your style you might wanna look into a pearl urethane.
