I was considering looking at the Power Groove reactive or the proactive.
Looking to drill it up 3E for the wet/dry For those that don't want to look that up it's a pin to PAP of 2" and CG just off the grip. Almost a 2 X 4 drill with the pin about 1 1/2 above midline.
What do you think about this ball used for light wet dries?

Look at the Barrage (Best bet) or possibly the AMF Scamp.
I only sold my Blue Hot, when I got a Barrage. I used to love the Blue Hot for anything short of a condition on which I had to use a Blue Dot as a strike ball.

I don't have either, but I imagine the PG has a much stronger backend, but I'm not sure about length.

You can't beat it for the price.

charlest - How much stronger is the PGR in comparison to the Blue Hot? And where do you see the difference? In the midlane or the backend.

Like I said, 1 - 2 notches/degrees/levels, depending on your style.
The Blue Hot was made for dry to light oil. Power Groove (pearl reactive) is made for light (high speed or low revs) to medium-light (average speed and/or revs) to medium condiiton (hogh revs, low speed). Haven't seen the Plum pearl proactive although I have been tempted at times to buy one: BTM said it was the pearl particle closest to skid/flip. It is a stronger ball than the resin pearl, obviously.
Normally a Blue Hot and a Power Groove would not be considered usable on the same lane condiiton, unless it were a house shot/wall.
FYI my driller once again told me he had the hardest time selling Power Grooves to men because of the colors (Actually, he said that men thought the colors were too "gay"). Seems like they were originally marketed towards female tastes but everyone, including he, says they are dynamite balls. As a man, the only color I have a hard time with is pink; even then, I had owned a Lane#1 Buzzsaw/C2 Raspberry, which was PINK.

my driller says the only reason he doesn't sell a ton of Sonic X's in his shop is because he sells the pants off of PGs!!
