The last 2 weeks in my monday night league have exposed my lack of a good dry lane ball.  It is a 37' house shot with Guardian.  Problem is, it plays almost like a reverse block.  The people that score play 5-10 and have very little hand.  If I try to play that line, even with a ton of speed, I hit brooklyn.  So I move in like I should, but the shot is so inconsistent.  If you don't get the ball right of 10 at 45 feet, you go through the nose.  Anything farther right than 7 results in something ugly.  I CAN score playing inside on this shot, but it's just super touchy and I know there's a better way.  I took out my Slate Blue Gargoyle and that was reading far too early, and then died on the back.  I think a Desert Heat may allow me to move closer to the track and play where the fluffers do.  It also wouldn't read the dry so da*m early so I'm not forcing the ball to the breakpoint.  Do you guys think it would fit?  My weakest ball besides the SBG is an Xception (yeah I know).

I can't give you a number of units, because I do not know.  There is adequate head oil, but the balls read very early in the mids, probably about 32'.  It plays a lot shorter than 37'.  I could move farther inside and firm up my speed a tad, but I lack enough tilt to make the ball recover.  The best line I had was with my 5.0.  Lay down at 30, cross arrows at 19 with very firm speed.  Problem with that is that anything farther left than that and I was through the nose.  If I moved inside farther to get the ball down the lane, I couldn't make it recover quite enough.  I switched to my Epic and that read the lane far too early to be of any use.  When I was able to get it to the hole, it had already bled too much energy and I left a few soft 10's before I bagged it.

Sounds great Rick.  When I get one I'll let you know how it turns out.  This is one of those times where you want to "let the lane do the work".
