Given carrydown situations, there are several options that you have. You can make a move more towards the outside boards, in an attempt to catch more of the dry a little bit earlier, getting the ball to stand up and hook a tad earlier. Or, you can go to a ball with a more aggressive surface on it. Or, you can take your same ball and have it dulled down somewhat, so that it is less susceptible to carrydown situations.
Even though you have several options open, the easiest one would be to make a move towards the outside of the lane and play a little bit more square down the boards. But, if you are using a polished reactive resin ball, then considering dulling down the surface somewhat will make the ball more steady in carrydown situations. And of course, a dull particle ball is always an option....but it might be too aggressive for you, depending on what line you prefer to play.
Any way you go about it, a polished reactive resin ball is going to be skittish on carrydown....the carrydown has the same effect as extending the oil length down the lane somewhat, which lengthens out the breakpoint of the ball (delaying the hook).
Myself, I primarily use dull particle equipment to start with, so you know what my personal recommendation would be. However, I also realize that dull particle equipment does not work well for everybody. In fact, dull particle stuff can hurt some bowler's game, depending a lot on the lane conditions that are present.
I guess that there is no perfect answer here. Just pick out one of the options that sounds good to you, and give it a try. If changing the surface texture of your ball is done and you don't like what you find, you can always have it polished back up again.
