So there is some new info in your posts:
- You find the shot to be outside later in the day (less play)
- Later in the day swinging past 10 is out of bounds
- You try to play out with a pin up Inferno
So what do you see others trying to do? How does the Inferno work for you going up the boards later in the day? Depending on the reaction the RF # 1 layout might work. If the outside of the lane has enough head / midlane oil to play then the # 1 layout could work out there provide it matches up correctly. I've had this layout in a weaker ball in the past and found it to actually work for me moving in when the track was truly burt around 3rd to 4th arrow...but I have more speed and a higher rev rate then you.
If there is truly a shot out then try to play it. Not sure what the Inferno is doing for you on that line but in comparision to the RF #1 it would go longer and hook harder than the RF assuming the oil is still intact. Again there are other factors here like how worn in the that area of the lane, the length of oil, etc.
If you leaving 10 pins moving deeper on the lane then a # 1 layout wouldn't help that any as it wouldn't create a sharp enough entry angle for you when going deeper. You could think about getting a good strong pearl like the TRoad Pearl and putting a weaker layout on it, but with a small pin buffer (your shop should know what that means) to help it react hard to friction.
Again...so many ideas, but I haven't seen you bowl...don't know your axis, tilt, etc. so this is best handled by your local pro shop operator.
