No, I was thinking along the lines of you sending it to me! For free of course because I'm doing you a favor by taking that piece off your hands!

I'm throwing it on regular house shots the bw isnt hooking yet i pick up a pancake core ball my tornado or my cherry vibe and out hook the bw all day long.  I clean it after each use and extract the oil after everynight of bowling.  So it wasnt miss treated.. think im gonna try a new brand of bowling balls a brunswick or columbia

You'll be disapointed with the TF more then likely. Its a great ball don't get me wrong but its not what I would consider a hook monster. I've only seen one guy make that ball cover a decent amount of boards but thats with him throwing 16MPH with about 400RPM on revs with a skid/flip layout. I'm getting one in today that has a very stong layout for me thats close to my TSA which is my hardest hooking ball, so I'll find out for sure this weekend on the ball but so far from what I've seen and thrown of it, it hasn't been a ball that I look at and go...wow that thing hooks. But it looks killer going down the lane!

yet another story of a ebonite-hammer cover, wearing out after a few months they are developing a rep. the pro shop owner at the house i bowl at just dumped his arsenal of hammer ebonite for the same reason. and this guy is maticulus with equipment. he got rid of a no mercy,bwsolid, and a raid. all died.

Yeah sounds like a rare case of something being a dud, I mean the BWS was the most selling ball of like ever seems like. Everyone has one at our house just about. I don't because Im not a big fan of Ebo stuff because they all have the skid flip reactions which is not desirable for anything other then a house shot for me.

This reminds me of my Dyno Thane Threshold. That ball wasn't really strong to start off with but it would cover some ground. Then after time it just pretty much died. I could use it up the 1st arrow and it worked great like that, then one day i gave it a bath and it started hooking alot again but I hated it then, I like it the other way! So I just sold it.

What grit do you have this ball at, and how do you extract oil after every night of bowling.
