Has anyone made cover changes to their Sure Thing and gotten a better reaction than the box finish. I'm finding the box cover is a nightmare. The ball either doesn't read the lane coming off the oil, or burns up and hits very flat off the dry. There's no in between. I was expecting a reaction similar to the Favorite, which seemed to handle any condition, without under/over reaction.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try taking the ball down to 500 grit abralon then hit it with either 2000 grit or 4000 grit.
The underlying surface might be too smooth causing you to move deeper than you really should be on the lane creating the flat corner pin dilemma.
The Favorite was a beast for the 1st 20-30 games or so until it glazed up for me.
I still keep one in the bag for burned up conditions.
My other thought is what kind of layout do you have on it and what kind of lane surface you bowling on.

HPL9000 synthetic lanes. The layout is pin under fingers, CG kicked out with a weight hole. Same layout that worked so well on the Favorite.

sounds like the same layout that i used, and i had similar results ,i wasnt real fond of the ball till i hit it with some black magic polish wow what a difference that made, it reads the lane better and hits twice as hard,
now i just throw it toward the dry and it comes screaming back
deffantely a better ball shined
just my two cents here
