Depends on the definition of "dry". On bone dry conditions, neither ball would perform very well. You'd be better off with your spare ball or a polished reactive Power Groove. On a worn down shot where there were still some backends and not a lot of oil pushed down, the Blazing would probably be a better choice. The Intense is NOT a "dry lane" ball. It's a medium condition ball - has a strong cover - and a core which allows it to push farther down the lane and provide a sharper entry angle than the others in the Inferno series. Of course, all of this is dependant on your game (ball speed, rev-rate, etc.) If I was in your position, I would ask the pro-shop to evaluate your needs. If there isn't one that you can trust to sell you what YOU need as opposed to what they WANT to sell you, then look around and see what others are throwing successfully. That will give you a better idea of which way to go.
