Im so glad people are brainwashed to think that TRACK sucks. And its even funnier when im carrying with my TRACK ball and they're going flat ten with their BRUNSWICK ball.

Without having thrown the Razyr, hands down, no doubt about it, LaneMasters Hornet.  As much length as a Tropical Storm, but smoother breakpoint, not nearly the flip you see with a lot of "dry lane" balls.  Second best might have to be the Brunswick Power Groove.  Good luck.

I use my most reliable Columbia Scout Hi-Flare...it is one pound lighter than the rest of my equipment and for me it is absolute money on a fried out condition...

I still use my InSite Second Coming (highly polished pearl) for dry lanes, but as Bob Hanson indicated above, I do not run into dry lanes much anymore.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I still carry around an old Storm Lightning Flash as a "just in case" ball.  I will admit that I've been thinking about drilling up an old NIB Too Hot that I have...but that Razyr seems like a winner from what I've seen of it.

Is the question actually

What is the best DRY LANE ball that you use?
 
or did you want to know what to buy for yourself from what is currently available?

I use an old Visionary Amulet so that might not be available for you to find except used.  And as others have indicated previously, based on their choices, what can be used on dry depends on the definition of dry and the skill/style/release/ball speed of the individual bowlers.
