Well i have had another bad night. I throw the Hammer Doom on pretty light conditions and recently I can not get that ball to snap or move on the backend for the life of me. I have to slow down my ball speed from around 16 to around 13 to get it to move on the back. It is drilled pin above ring, is this a bad drilling because of the amount of length im getting? I have never had this problem, the Doom has been phenomenal! But the last 3 weeks, its dead. I have changed the surfaces, haven't hot water bathed it yet. My teammates balls are still hooking like normal. Do i need to make some changes or should i just scrap it and get a new ball?

i had him put the factory finish on it but i haven't had it resurface or anything.

probably 60-70 games on it, no i don't use it as a spare, yes i have tried different positions on the lane, the thing just has no backend smash like it used too.

do i need to adjust the surface before the bath? What about after, take it back to OOB?

If you are 100% sure that nothing has changed with the lane conditions nor your game a resurface may be needed.
