I am a right handed player, more rev dominant. I throw 15 lb equipment kinda slow, around 13 mph but still with a decent amount of revs. I tried going down to 14# but it throws my timing off too much. I normally start out throwing around the 12 or 13 board out to around 8 on a 38 foot THS. By the 3rd game my equipment hooks earlier and harder when it hits the dry and is almost uncontrollable, even when I move in towards 15 to 18. I have been considering getting a ball with a full roller type layout to avoid this, but I am not sure what to do. Sometimes I go to urethane for the 3rd game because it is more controllable, but I am sacrificing carry. What would be a good ball and layout for me in this situation when the lanes get dry. What type of RG and differential should I be looking for if I throw it that slow? Please help if you have any suggestions. My average is around 206 but it could be higher if I could conquer the 3rd game dry.
Thanks, Mike

I can tell you that using the Full Roller layout is not the solution.
What equipment and layouts are you currently using?
