try to get help from your pro shop operator...
maybe had the pores clogged with oil...
if you don't have a pro shop near you... try cleaning the ball with simple green or awesome and see if it works
if it still without any hook try a hot water bath

its just an honest question u don't have to call me a liar i'm being honest otherwise why would i post the question? it goes down starts to hook then just stops rolls out every time. i have the invasion drilled the same way but it doesn't do that

then maybe your house changed the oil pattern... cuz that sounds more to burning energy too soon...
btw the invasion has a different core so it will keep or dispense energy in a different way...
you should try a little polish or a higher grit abralon than actual surface.
Or try playing more deep so you can roll the ball in the oil area...nothing outside board 10...
maybe something like 35foot 18-21 in arrows and 12th board at breakpoint

This is the opposite of "doesn't hook anymore"
What you are describing is "done hooking before it hits the pins"
And they are the complete opposite.  Hook/set means the ball has used all of it's energy too early.  You can change the surface, take it up to a true 4000 abralon.  The OOB is a 500/4000 which is technically a 500 finish with softer peaks to help length.  Throw it on the spinner with full 2000 finish, throw it a few times and see what you get.  If it's still using too much energy, go ahead and take it all the way to 4000.  If you still need more length, add polish.  I recommend doing it in stages and throwing the ball a bit so you can personally see the effect of each surface, as surface adjustment is one of the most important aspects of ball reaction.

I'm curious when you say your Invasion and Jigsaw are drilled the same way.  Are you simply referring to the Pin position, or also the MB position?
