I think you need to put together a better arsenal and you're going to have to move inside of where your comfort zone is. Right now, you have a skid/flip ball (Brunswick Fantic) and two dry oil balls (BTU and Hyroad). If you're hitting high...moving inside and hitting light with the BTU, and there's no carrydown (start of the night bowling on fresh)...then you'd have to ball down even further...but to what?
A 900 Global Boost? Probably the best bet unless you can find a new Ebonite Cyclone or Brunswick Slingshot still around.
A Storm Mix? Never liked it.
A Columbia Scout Reactive? Maybe...if the 900Global Boost is still too much ball.
Surfacing is another possibility...but I don't know much about surfacing urethane..and the Hy Road is already polished. You could take the Hy Road to 3000/Step 3/polish...if you have a spinner and the supplies needed...or want to pay the pro shop to do it every few nights.
I just think...unless we're talking dry as 'heck' conditions...or wood lanes...or an older bowler with injury issues that can't get the ball speed to 12mph...I think getting some stronger, lower RG, surfaced balls...and moving a little inside...getting more angle...I think that's the better way to go...and will probably help with the corner pins.
