Thread: defiant surface change

    I just had a similar conversation with my friend who drills my equipment. I talked to him about the defiant just not moving and what should I do?

    He told me not to do anything harsh. The ball needs a lot of oil and if I wasn't getting reaction and an adjustment didn't help, put back in the bag till there is more oil. He then sanded it back down to factory to ensure proper reaction.

    I'm going to keep the defiant in my bag and use it more sparingly instead of an every game kind of thing. I think that's where i went wring with mine. I wore it out on minimal oil in the Summer and then I couldn't get the hang of it on oil months later and lost confidence in it.
    In the Bag: Storm Marvel Pearl, Storm IQ, Columbia 300 White Dot
    In the Locker: Storm Tropical Breeze, RG Defiant, RG Bandit

    I agree with bowl1820....sounds like the balls looking for more oil to hold it up a little,it's just burning up all it's energy

    bowl 1820 is right....that ball is for heavy oil,it will burn it's energy out if the lanes or where your playing is too dry.

    you need more oil for that ball ...it's using up all it's energy..listen to bowl1820

    Sure it would,but it may also defeat the purpose of the stronger ball it's self ..as i would go further before reading the lane
