I purchased a 15 lb. Gamebreaker back in on Sept. 3rd of this year. and have bowled with it for the last 12/13 weeks. I bowl in 3 different leagues ( Heavy Oil in 2 of the leagues and Med. on the other)  and have been subbing in another (heavy oil) for the last 4 weeks. That would give me over 150+ games with this ball, including practice . After every shift I take it to the pro shop to get cleaned. Yesterday, the ball was just skidding and skidding down the whole lane - No reaction - No break - Nothing. I think I have just burned out this ball.  This also happened to me with my SR300.  I am thinking about jumping off the Ebonite bandwagon and trying something else. Can someone recommend something else for me to use ?

Or, you could try a hot water bath and soak the oil out of your ball...your pro shop should be able to help you understand the details about hot water soaking...

Also, is it possible that they've changed the pattern on you?

Another question, what has your shop been cleaning your ball with?

Aka,
Cleaning after every set is a very good practice, but thats only have of the battle.You will want to try an oil extraction method.I would try hook again or a hot water bath, or the revivor.These methods will restore your hook.The Gamebreaker is an awesome ball dont give up on it.All the balls on the market are high maintence a need to be cleaned on a regular basis and need to have the oil removed.I would suggest having the oil removed every 50 games.

ya the cover on thr gambreaker is a beast ans soakes up oil quick so if your proshop can bake it or whatever they have to extract the oil then resurface it. id do that and it should bring it back from the dead. good luck wiht it great ball love mine
