Slate Blue Gargoyle or Power Groove Dry/R.  Both will get the job done.  --  JohnP

If you can find an ebonite turbo urethane, or an original ebonite blue nitro urethane, those are pretty good choices.

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.


threw the Brunswick power groove Dry-R... Ball hooked a ton still... lol

Just looking to see what people use...  right now im considering the 900 global link, avalanche pearl, and emerald vibe (green)

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.

Slate Blue Gargoyle, period.

I tried a lot of things for dry lanes, and this one has been among 5 balls by far the best when the lanes are toast. I just hope that Visionyr revives the urethane pearl idea, e .g. with an Ogre core, because this ball design is very effective on dry to medium-dry conditions..

I have three bowling balls for Dry conditions.

Scout Hi-flare Urethane (2000 Grit Polish)
Scout Urethane (No Core - Polished)
Lane#1 XXXL (When the lanes are completely fried this is the ball I go to)

Just to add to this. I don't know how some can throw any reactive ball on dry. If you put any kind of rotation on a reactive ball as soon as that ball hits the lane its going to grab.

Maybe the word "Dry" is different to others.

For dry, gotta go with.....

LaneMasters Hornet..dry, spotty, 2nd or 3rd shift, broken down shot

RotoGrip Sonic X....dry, and absolute toast

Columbia Scout......dry, but relatively spotty

Visionary slate blue gargoyle....dry, but you just can't figure out which of the three conditions above, it is you're playing on!

once again, my vote goes to the Slate Blue Gargoyle. absolute money on extreme dry boards, or just burned up lanes. easy, easy length and ZERO overreaction. and did i mention the HIT? it's a complete tank.
