Hey all, first time poster here. I am back into league bowling for the first time in 7 years and the lanes are dry as the sahara. I haven't bought a new ball in over 10 years and could use some advise. I am currently throwing a Morich Total Anihilation and am having a hard time controlling it in the dry( when I lived in Ohio there was much more oil). I would like to get back to a urethane type throw between boards 5 and 10 and a nice easy arc into the pocket. The balls I am considering are a Storm Pitch Black, Motiv Rebel Tank, a Blue Hammer, and a Brunswick Fanatic BTU. Have seen plenty of videos and they all look promising. I am more of a stroker and have a ball speed @ 17mph or so. Any insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated and sorry if I rambled. Thanks

From what I've seen and heard the Brunswick Fanatic BTU is a dynamite ball
as it has the smooth arc like a plain urethane ball but better reaction on medium
oil then a plain old school type urethane ball.

The Fanatic BTU is the way to go. It is great on burned up and dry lanes, and I love it.

Thanks for the input guys. My local pro shop was guiding me toward the BTU as well. My son is getting the Storm Pitch Black so I guess I'll get to see a couple new ones in action.

The BTU is awesome. I can use it on the fresh, change to something a little stronger as I move in, and go back to it for the burn. I can't think of a better ball to take up permanent residence in my bag.

I've got a BTU on order and should have it next week. Can't wait because I am struggling big time!
