You may just be burning it up early in the one house. Being that the Rebel is a solid at 500/1000 abralon, I'm assuming this is exactly what is happening. Your best bet is to try something pearl or polished to get the reaction you are looking for. I'm not a fan of solid or dull balls myself as I get weird over/under reactions out of them as they try to read early. Most of my equipment is pearl and symmetrical. I've tried to broaden my arsenal though. Currently in the bag/locker I have a Phaze II, which is a solid at 3000 (which I won on here btw), a Phaze (3000 polished), Street Fight (3000 sheen + added light polish), and a Pitch Blue (Pearl Urethane). My suggestion, try something pearl. I think you'll be amazed with the reaction you get when the ball doesn't burn itself up
