Hardest hitting (newer) ball?

All my DV8s are 15lbs. and I don't think the weight is the issue you're having. The pattern very well could be the factor. It seems only the real low rev people can get away with using a heavy oil ball in lighter conditions. Next time see if they will give you the specs on what pattern they put out and take notes of how your ball reacts. Oil on the ball just means there is oil on the lane and doesn't really tell you how thick it is or where it is.
Good crankers can overpower the lane condition with speed. Good strokers and tweeners seem to get affected more by lane conditions.

Here's how I did it. Only had a handful of throws on it at the time.
1. Wait til the wife leaves the house
2. Clean out the kitchen sink real good.
3. Put ball in sink
4. Slowly run warm water keeping ball and abralon pad wet.
5. Sand entire ball with 4000 grit abralon pad
6. Dry ball with clean microfiber towel.
7. Using a clean towel applied first coat of polish. Let it dry.
8. Remove polish. I used a 6" palm buffer but can be done by hand.
9. Repeat steps 7 & 8 six more times.

something really unfortunate in my country, Singapore.. WE DON'T HAVE WARM/HOT WATER FROM THE SINK!!!!

What polish do you use? and.. what's a 6" palm buffer??

I use Brunswick rough buff polish on my HRR. A 6" palm buffer is an automotive buffer with a 6" buffing pad.
