SpitFire is a very strong piece. It's definatly a medium or better ball.

IMO, a T-Road Pearl would fit the bill that you are looking for.

I'd say it depends on your release. Basically, I'd say the ball is too strong for medium-dry conditions. Its coverstock responds well to dry lane parts, and the lower RG depletes its energy well one the ball hits the dry.

Will mainly depend on the release; with good forward roll on a direct line to the pocket it could work, even though there would be IMHO better choices as ball basis like a Jolt Pearl. Even a Thunderstruck Pearl or T-Road Pearl would already be strong choices.
