    You said that you got it back in February well lets see
    that is 4 months ago and with 3 games a week in league
    that makes 48 league games on it.

    Then with say only 3 practice games a week not counting
    that it may be up to 10 practice games that is another 48
    games on it at least so at the minimum it is 96 games on it
    and possibly it has up to 208 games on it over the 4 month
    time frame.

    So yeah I'd have to say at least a deep cleaning is in order
    but a re-surface should restore the hook as the factory says
    a ball should be re-surfaced every 60 games or there abouts.
    I agree...my pro shop guy says to clean the ball immediately after each bowling session, then after 50-100 games it will need deep clean and/or resurface depending on the lane conditions and reaction of ball surface.

    I think the ball is dead....I saw this happen to a friend of mine in the middle of a league series, two games thrown nice, then boom. We thought it was carry down, but a change of balls told her otherwise. If I hadn't seen it during the games, I would not have believed it could happen that fast.

    I just bought my wife a new ball and with it I got a free rejuv. for my Brutal nightmare. Needless to say, it was in there for a few hours and was still leaking oil. I also deep bath it and use a blow drier at the house, it just doesn't get as deep as the pro shops. So yeah, clean your balls after every use (Giggady) specially if the lanes are super wet (Giggadyx2).

    Well I dropped it off at my pro shop today and he said its not as bad as he thought but still needs done. What he did see is that I'm throwing straight up the back and that's why I got no hook he showed me a hand position to use and my inserts where rubbed down from how I was trying to get the ball to move so ya free new inserts and ya
