Sounds like you don't have enough oil to play with where you are comfortable and too much oil for what you do to the ball. You have one of 2 options, either move your feet inward and add surface until you get the ball to stand up or you can use a higher grit and polish to get the ball down lane and smooth out.

Be aware that with surface, you're going to blow up the track area and it sounds to me like theres only so far in you can move before you hit your tipping point. By adding polish, you are going to make the smoother reaction of the Jackal push further downlane, which will not necessarily equal more "backend" reaction.

On a sidenote, you can put the ball up, until you find enough oil to be able to use it where you want. I believe you've had issues with HP releases burning up before. I would do a bit more research before your next HP purchase to ensure that you are getting what you need instead of the next "hot" ball. No point in buying a ball if you cannot use it or don't have the conditions to utilized the ball effectively.

if you are looking for an asym that isn't so aggressive, the Vandal is a monster.

With you saying  "the ball stops hooking". It makes me think that there may be enough friction causing the ball to lose energy to where it just quits. Some people see this and call it "carrydown" and the ball hit some oil and just stopped hooking. But a ball that runs into too much friction, it will eventually just burn up all energy and quit. Although carrydown does effect reaction some, I don't see a small line of oil effecting the ball that much.

Sorry for the tangent but I would assume it is just dying before it finishes hooking.
The Jackal is a Heavy Oil ball.

Also, the pin is over my ring finger, just like the first drilling was...

I have 12 motiv balls and have never had to redrill anything. I have changed surfaces as I've had to do with all manufacturers. If you know your specs and what drilling a work for you then stick with them. When ever you drill and asymmetrical ball no matter what ball it is, drilling is critical. They are not nearly as forgiving as symetricals
