If by that you mean you've never had the surface refreshed (sanded and/or polished in anyway) since you got it, then no it doesn't have the OOB still on it. The surface changes a little bit everytime you roll the ball down the lane. Plus Playing down first arrow all the time you would be in a much dryer part of the lane and the surface would change even faster.
The HBWG had a OOB of 500/1000 Abralon Polished w/ Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. You could start there have the ball surface freshened up and see what kind of reaction you get, If you wanted the ball earlier then just don't add the polish and see what happens and go from there.The lanes have been very oily this summer. I have been throwing straight down the first arrow and it turns in near the end of the lane but if I miss to the outside just a little it won't come back. If I try going inside I can hit the pocket but not getting any carry. Maybe try something that reads the lanes a little earlier? Later? More backend? What would I try as far as finishes?
