i have a fired up and a hot rod hybrid. they both seem to  be
alot more aggressive when they hit any dry boards than any other
ball that i have. both seem to be more aggressive than my banshee
when it comes to length and the back end reaction. i can understand
the fired up rolling earlier and hooking sharper because of the
increased differential and more dynamic weight block but i didn't think
that the hybrid would be anywhere near as strong as it is. it seems as
btm is way off when it says that this ball is best for dry lanes. has
anyone else made the same observation that i have?
 

my fired up is drilled 5x4, banshee 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 hybrid 5x6.

I had a similiar experience with my hybrid on fresher of medium length patterns where it was too strong off the spot. I scuffed it with a white scotchbrite and made it much better and more predictable

Another thing I have noticed is that guys are laying out their balls too strong for the conditions and volumes they are bowling on.
Scuffing it a bit just to break the factory shine will make it read a bit earlier and not as violently on the backend.

Guys should try shortening your pins and avoiding some much shine. My Hybrid it 1/4 negative w/ 7/8 finger, pin is 1.5"; beautiful arcing reaction when the lanes break down.
