Well I have had the bounty hunter since July, first day I used it practicing on fresh shark, I had an awesome recovering reaction and great carry, big hooking ball that I was hoping for.
Although I know this is meant for heavy oil, I am still trying to put my efforts in the 50,000. I know it is not meant for medium conditions. I put a conservative 5 x 4.5 drill on it with the pin a good ways up as seen in pics.
Bowling on the house shots I come across which is nothin less than true mediums the ball in OOB burned up from what I could tell, looked like it is going to hook but be real mellow in the back leaving washouts. So took it home went to 2000 abralon then appied nice coat of Snake Oil, tried it again at same places, same result, iffy carry, can't really swing it much. So after fighting it for a couple weeks, nowe am at 3000 Valentino pad, then HEAVY coat of Beans sauce, and it is mirro like now. I thought to myself, this should be the ticket. Threw it tonight on the shot that would most likely allow the beast to strut its stuff (40ft nice dose of oil, prolly med-heavy) clean backends), since my S-75 and Requiem in OOB finshes could be thrown and had a heck of a time keeping them right side of headpin, with great carry when in pocket.
It is still doing the same thing, even with the heavy polish and high surface, just roills and rolls, and nothing on the back, washouts if not careful, I had to play like 18- 10 for good reaction. I have decent hand and enough speed that I should see something out of it. All I hear from other people is how much backend it has and such, I know not all of them are on heavy heavy oil
Right now I don't know what to do, I am thinking it might need a balance hole since I haven't weighed it out yet, or maybe a redrill with something like 6 x 5. I have yet to come acroos this with a ball yet. Is the thing really that strong, either that or my style is a horribly not matching up to it.
Any ideas?
