    No luck, talke to the pro Trent, and told him what was mentioned on this site... he did sand it 4000, and no change at all? He watched my throw the ball. It was good at picking up the 10 pin,, even with my rev's it went streight for it... I am depressed!! 189.00 and it behaves like a plastic ball in my case... ( He dosen't think its the oil at all, and said I might find a time that it will work for me... Ok.... O well live and learn!! (

    Wow. Sorry to hear that Mike.. Hopefully after I throw it tomorrow I'll get a better idea of what is going on with it. Maybe we'll get it figured out then. It's so very strange though, because I've seen you throw plenty of times and know that you have enough rev's to make that ball break hard. I guarantee you, if you could use my Vivid (finger holes too small unfortunately), you would see a massive difference and a monster hook.

    Anyway, see you tomorrow, hopefully we'll get it working for ya.

    Okay if smoothing the ball didnt help. You can try going the opposite way and dulling it. Maybe 500 abralon followed by 2000 or just 500 by its self.

    I'm going to guess the ball is just too light for you. Do the moniters show your ball speed? If so what speed have you been throe it at.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    Default Friday maybe I can figure it out with some help.

    I tried several different speeds, and angles... It dosen't feel to light, goes of the hand well, maybe even better then the 15. It just does dosen't work for me for some reason.... As I have said,,, Jason can throw anybodies ball with his style of bowling.. He almost purchased a Undefeated, after throwing several strikes with my ball. We will know more tomorrow!!! until then hold tight, and I will let you know his thoughts!

    It was a 189.00 bag freshener... one sad choice.... my fault.... All my other balls work great... I have not given up, but the light in the end of the tunnel is getting darker!! I can't get it to work. today I tried many different angles played 8 games, and the best I could come up with was a 165 (

    What about the balance hole? Did Trent purposely not drill it or was it just human error and accidently forgot?

    open it with paint and resize it to maybe 20 - 20 and it might be able to load already.. try it.
