LIVE OR DIE
ITS YOUR CHOICE
*THE THING LIVES*

Scuff the surface a bit with a White or Grey scotchbrite pad.

This will blend out the skid/snap reactiona bit and moake it more controllable on the back.

Putting a hole on your axis will make it stand up earlier by changing the track flare and core shape,static weight really has no bearing on ball reaction. The ball surface is the most important factor in controlling a reaction. I doubt it is dirty because it would be hooking less overall not snapping to much control.

DYNO298,

I have an ACE and I've experimented with it by dulling the surface. It definitely tames the snap reaction of the ball.  But for my style of play, which is throwing it with alot of speed, I could not get the ball to store enough energy to recover in the backend. I had to shine it back up (I sanded it to 800 grit, then put Storm Xtra Shine) to get the best reaction.  I only use the ball for medium-heavy to medium conditions.  Slides to much in Heavy Oil.

yeah i have this ball as well...drilled almost similarly as yours...pin above the fingers and rad in the strong...a couple of other things you could do is that if have any axis tilt is to come up more directly under the ball so its more a forward roll rather than some side roll...and perhaps to wait till some carrydown builds up in the back to tame its reaction...at times i would have to play the lane just to get the ball back to the pocket...otherwise youd get some nasty splits cause of the extreme angle your coming in from or if your lucky..itll crossover and carry the rack...
