this is the second time im posting about this ball, and all i can say is, this ball dont move!

drilled pin below bridge and cg about inch right of the thumb.

last time i post about this ball it was OOB, and then since it was not moving at all, i put some polish on the ball it looked little bit better, but nothing has changed.

arrive on almost dry conditions, and the ball goes long with little turn. Ok, it can happen, it burns up and no energy left when it arrives at the pins. then took it to my gold pin league, fresh oil. put it on the oil side of the lanes, make it to stay in the oil, cuz its particle and i came with the idea that the ball was burning up. in the oil, the vendetta didnt even move! it keeps the rotation all the way to the end.

the only way i made it to move is to play outside, about 4-5 boards at the arrows that i can even make a spare ball hit the brooklyn, this ball just go to the pocket, but empty, no energy left, hits flat!

any recommendation on what i can do with this? change surface to something stronger like... 400-500 grit and then some polish?

otherwise im just going to throw 10 pins with it and thats it.

ohh btw, i also tried with 2 hand release, not even that the ball looked back! i thought it was because of my release not having enough rev or tilt, but when a 5-6 years old house ball hooks 10 boards with lots of energy at the back and this ball hooks 5 and hits flat, there must be a problem...

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

well, when i mean dry is that i dont see the ball reacting consistently, and little hold to prevent the ball from hooking. i would say throwing a plastic ball around 15 straight it will hook enough to hit the brooklyn.

on fresh oil, in the middle there are lots of oil, normally the plastic ball will go straight and hit the 3 pin.

i do understand that particle balls are not designed to hook a lot, is to provide traction on oil so it has energy at the back. but even when i find good amount of oil, this ball doesnt react.
