Question Is my No Mercy performing better on drier conditions ?

I am noticing lately that my highest scores are usually the 4th on league night.
I am throwing the no mercy which is a ball that is supposed to perform better on olier conditions then when the lane is dying. But it seems to me that in my case it's performing better in the dryer conditions. I warm up enough so I am excluding that, so I think it's or a difficulty in finding a line or that maybe somehow something in my throw let's the ball perform better on dryer conditions. (if that's true , what do I even use for more oil )
There was a some days ago mentioning that a ball may react differently if someone throws 500 revs vs someone throwing 100 revs.
That got me thinking and I checked my scores for the past year, and I am noticing the trend.
If a ball review is let's say for someone that throws at 300 rev, how can I tell if that ball is good for me if I throw it at 100 rev.
and If I buy that ball do I need to change the surface and to what grid.
(let's use the NM as a example)

what are your thoughts, am I seeing ghosts or do I have a point.

We all know certain balls and type of balls do not work for everyone the same . Remember the saying? What works for you might not work for me . The ball might not fit my style of game. Everyone's axis tilt varies slightly and PAP's are different for everyone. We can have 2 identical balls, same weight, same surface and same drilling, you might be able to use yours in med to hevy oil and mine won't hook 3 boards. Why? Different styles . Although adjusting the cover might just do the trick. Remember everyoen complained about the BWP. Too condition and speed specific. Well to those it was suggested to adjust the cover dowen to 2000 or 2000 with polish and see what one worked the best. 99% of them stated they love the ball at that surface and it bacame a totaly different ball.

As far as recfommending a surface grit for a ball, it is difficult without you throwing the ball and getting your feedback on it's reaction.

Any of this make sense? I hope so because I got lost myself.

I understand.
the thing is at the moment I am gathering more information and digesting them, the more you know the more confusing it becomes, I hope it's just a phase that I am going through till I am able to sort things out, but being in the slump is not really helping neither although I try not blame it on that and trying stay with facts.
I am only now seeing some videos with explanations on when on how to see a ball react on the lane.

If you remember when I started on this forum I mention that the Tornado is basically outhooking the NM and The BWP on the same conditions. The Tornado is drilled straight (with the most hook possible) and the others were drilled to hook (a little). and the tornado is only a medium-light oil ball and the NM a heavy oil ball. and that's my dillemma again. from what I am experiencing the balls are reacting the opposite as they should.
