I am looking for a ball below my Badass for dry lane conditions. Any suggestions concerning the new spike or Arson low flare?

Both look like great bowling balls. You might want to consider the Viral as well as it's similarly priced with the Spike Black/Blue. I know Shaneshu87 has a Arson Low Flare Solid and got_a_300 has a Spike. Might want to ask them... I do know that one of the guys in a league I bowl in owns the Viral and he said he's able to use it on almost all conditions due to its versatility. Tough choice if you ask me.

I have the black/blue Spike and it is a pretty versatile ball you can
play the heavy oil if you throw it slower or move out into the dryer
part of the lane if you add some speed to it.

I have it drilled pin up right above my right ring finger for some length
and it comes off of the spot with a vengeance for the pins it just destroys
the rack.

I have the Badass also and it is drilled pin down below and just a pinch to
the left of my right ring finger for a little earlier read on the lane and when
it comes off the spot it also has a mad vengeance for the pins too as it just
destroys the rack also and it hits the pins hard like a Mack truck I think it has
broken a couple of the new pins so far.

You can't go wrong with the black/blue Spike though.

here is a link to pics of both balls the Badass and the Spike.
