How do some of you deal with over/under ball reaction ? I have a Storm Incite that has that reaction at all the places I practice at. I've had it for almost a year and hate to give up on it. Would changing the surface be the first option ? If so what's some suggestions ? Almost at the point of donating it to a youth bowler. Guess some balls don't just don't match up to everyone. Thanks for any positive advice.

It's tough to say without knowing the full situation.
Surface would be the first place to start. R4S is a really strong cover formula, so my guess would actually be that there's not enough oil
Do you have other balls that work fine? What are those ones?

Current line up is Sure Lock, Altered Reality, Axiom Pearl, and Afterburner. I can make these balls work. Generally play up the boards and my speed is about 16-17. Can you give me a suggestion on what surface to apply. Thanks

I'll chime in.
Try hitting it with 2000 first, and that should help. If that is still too jumpy try 1000, etc. When we add surface it reads earlier and will change direction less abruptly at the end of the pattern. You've got good ball speed so I wouldn't hesitate at all.
Personally, if I get a shiny pearl the first thing I do is knock some gloss off.

Normally adding more surface (lower grit) is the way to go. I think I'd actually try the opposite with the Incite, refresh the surface to maybe 2000 and add a light polish on top.
My experience with R4S on the Fight was that it needed a lot of volume in the front, so it actually rolled best for me on sport patterns. For house, I needed to add polish

I'm gonna give the opposite advice because it usually works for me.
There have been a few sanded hybrids and pearls that to didn't match up with no matter what....I just ended up polishing them into a polished hybrid/pearl...
Had some big sets after doing so. Didn't match the oob reaction BUT I wasn't matching up with it to begin with anyways ...
