Please tell me about your Omen
« on: April 05, 2012, 01:14:40 PM »
I recently purchased a new Omen and, so far, I'm kinda disappointed.  The ball was left in box and is drilled strong with the pin about 4" from my pap and just right of the ring finger.  If it will help, I have slower speed (around 15mph) and lower revs.  
 
So far I've only been able to throw the ball on slightly oily conditions which is what I got it for, but it goes almost dead straignt.  I wanted something to fit between an Ebonite Mission X and a Columbia Sharp noize but this ball does not do the job.
 
My question is, has anyone else had this problem?  Did you try a different surface either duller or adding polish?
 
Any help or ideas would be appreciared.
 
Thanks.

Drilled one 65x4.75x40. No hole.

I decided to go with 500/800/4000/4000 to get the bottom layer a little smoother than the 500. the 500 base layer for me grabbed so early.

Mine's still strong. It's a distinct shell up from my Violent Eruption and Benchmark. It has good length up front so it forces me to keep my angles "close" up front. I haven't seen a ton of oil in a while, but it seems like if I drop the shell to 1000 or 2000 on top, it'll give me some good traction still.
