Based on your ball motion, I think you're speed dominant.
Technically you shouldnt be completely in the oil or completely in the dry.
There is very little shape to the oil pattern front to back or left to right in either of those areas in their entirety.
When I told you to try outside of 10 or even 5 thats when you encountered "too much oil". Im trying to get you around the overblock of oil and slug of carrydown downlane. Its not a strategy thats portable to every situation and you do need head oil to make it work.
Bowling is not homogeneous, there is no single solution to every problem.
Bowling is this:
1. Reading your ball motion.
2. Finding a spot of the lane that allows your ball to slow down at the right time.
3. Figuring out the correct ball moton to make the ball go thru the pins the right way, splitting the 8-9 is best.
4. Making the on lane adjustments to keep doing 2 and 3.
5. If its not working, figuring out which ball will get you there.
We're no longer cramming the ball up 10 for better or worse, bowling has become cerebral now.
Welcome to the game.
Time to start practicing other things, like playing tighter to the pocket and use touch to get the ball to pick up. Also time to get your hand completely in the ball to reduce the knuckling effect and increase your ball reaction. If you can put the ball by your side, let go and the ball falls off with no grip pressure, its too loose. More tape, dont squeeze.
To get the ball off, a small bump with a butt/palm of your hand thats in the ball should pop it off.
You were once a thrower, now you're becoming a BOWLER.
