Other balls to consider:

Scout Reactive
Messenger Black
Big Hit Pearl
Pearlized Pulse - if you can find one
Urethane

If you are really running into DRY DRY conditions, then a good old White Dot will do wonders.

Layouts of the balls would be determined by the driller when informed of your game. High tracker, lower tracker, speed, revs, etc. etc. But usually for drier conditions you are looking at longer pin and CG placements along with polished up coverstocks to aid the ball in getting down the lane and retaining energy.

One to consider would be Dyno-Thane's Crisis. It comes out of the box 2,000 finish but it still provides a nice punch in the pocket.

Urethane and plastic are often overlooked for dry lane conditions. These can still be effective weapons.

I have a Columbia Scout Reactive that I like very much. It has improved my average 10 pins since I started using it.

I throw a Storm ultra hot that is rendered negative when the lanes dry out. I've also had to use my Storm Football a couple of times too.
But probably the best ball out there for dry lanes is the Flame reactive by Storm.

There are other alternatives for dry lanes. I use an old polished Orange Piranha when the lanes dry up. If it gets very dry I go to either my yellow dot, or white dot.

i use the matrix conquest by Ebonite it hooks way less than the messenger ti black and gold (my favorite ball b4 this) that ball is also very good on house shots not to much back end but still sends the messengers flying i know u dont like Ebonite but its a good ball to think about

I got my Blue Hot Flame for dry conditions...don't be fooled, this ball hits like a truck. You should give it a try, and it wont kill your pocket (as in money) too much either ^_~
