    Default Dry lanes, what would you choose?

    If you were looking for a ball to use late in tournaments when the shot is burned, what would you pick? A urethane ball with stronger weight block, or a lower end reactive with low diff and cover that's not as aggressive (like tropical storm for example)?

    Would like to see what the Brunswick Fanatic BTU would do on the burn. Straight urethane won't allow you to chase the shot inside. Could go with a low-end ball with a tall core that will get downlane a good ways before turning.

    As long as there is some oil remaining on the middle part of the lane, I would recommend going to a stronger, earlier rolling ball that will start to hook earlier, before the burn, and has the strength to make it back to the pocket. I find the Storm Snap Locks works really well in this situation.

    Looking at lanes with upwards of 70 games on them. Shot starts as the pba chameleon and ends as something really ugly lol it usually keeps its OOB down lane if you get too far out but the inside is usually toast. Threw a joy ride last time.

    Well pairs with upwards of 70, so each lane around 35ish

    Personally I'd probably try a weak pearl reactive to get through the chewed up heads over a urethane, but burned lanes are what I tend to struggle most on.

    Me Wednesday night league end up as toast by game 3 due to many high rev player throwing dull stuff. The pearl urethane Rebel Tank hooked too soon to be effective. I just picked up a plastic with a core ( Taboo spare ) to combat those conditions.
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

    Depends on what you mean by burnt. If there is still oil on the heads move left and go stronger with the ball. If the heads are dryed up it's really limited with what you can do best option is a less aggressive ball say a rhino or breeze and do the best you can.

    Burnt as in 70 games of tournament bowling per pair. That's before you get on the lanes to bowl. Heads are fried at that point.
