its particle pearl, dull (2000 grit matte finish) cover will handle some carrydown, depending on drill and personal rev rate, while still providin length plus decent degree of lane bite at the backend. the cover can be modified with scotch-brite pads as necessary.
it's not their famous soaker coverstock, but it is probably the best fit for your stated desires & you'll save money.

Sniper is one of the most versitile balls made, will handle med oil with a very controllable backend, great ball for most house shot.

I'm actually looking for something to use when the heads start to dry out and the shot breaks down. By the end of the second game, my V2 Power is reading too early , burning up and hitting weak. I want something to go to then.
One important set of factors is one, the current ball you're using (V2 Power, for you), two, where you move when you try to play the transition with this ball, how it doesn't work when you move deeper and how any other ball you have tried does not work for you in this transition.
How much the heads dry out and what type of ball you need can be revealed by such info.

I'm not REAL comfortable swinging the ball that much. I just don't seem to yet have the game to do so, as if I throw it inside out it doesn't have enough oomph to get back to the pocket strong. How I play the transition is move in a bit to try and chase the oil line, and though I can adjust to get the ball back to the pocket, it seems to burn up and hit weakly, leaving stuff like the 5-7 or 8-10.
that indicates the inside (wherever you're playing) is either still too dry or the ball is just not retaining enough energy or some combo of both. In general, what is needed is a weaker ball, (not necessarily weak ball) which most of us have been suggesting, but usually also a weaker ball with a milder (read: higher pin position or longer pin-to-PAP position or both) pin position.
So, if your current V2Power had a 4" pin-to-PAPposition, the go-to ball might need a 5"pin-to-PAP position, depending on what kind of ball it is and how deep you stand to use it.

UTURN Pearl
Diff. .035
RG 2.5
Without getting overlap with the Power, I still think
High Energy (SOlid Pearl Mix)
Element AU79 (Solid Pearl Mix)
CM "Drilled Properly" (Soid pearl Mix)
Vendetta Sniper (Particle)
I Have a CM Drilled with CAP in Control Position, PIn 4" from PAP. I can use it all three games in league, but I get pretty deep the third game. My conditions sound close to yours.
