I really dont use it all that much,butIi do have a pretty noticeable track area. I may have 50 complete games on it and I dont use it much because it really isnt a super versatile ball. Just when I think I have it figured out,I loose my reaction. Couple of weeks ago I tricked of a 300 and since then its a 10 pin over under monster that just lopes aimlessly down the lane with no intent of carry if it hits the pocket. It is usually the strongest ball in my bag and I only use it when nothing else is moving,now its the same as the other balls,it doesnt move either. It has a very small flare pattern and its potential for moving more than 5 boards is suspect at best,but at least i could depend on it to move those five and carry. I am gonna soak it and have it taken back to 4000 to see if it helps,I had it at 2000 because it wasnt moving and that seemed to help,but it didnt last long.

My Bank did the same as yours, starting to become weaker after 40-50 games. But after a nice hot water bath and bringing it back to its surface it was just like it was when it came out of the box!

This is one of my personal favorites about Global balls, the may lose their reaction as fast as the balls from other brands, but I am able to bring them back to life over and over again. I tried it with a Virtual Gravity and a original Cell, but once their "out of box" reaction was gone, it was gone forever.

 

no its not dead,by a long shot in faqct its head and shoulders above everything I have and have thrown. I gave it a steam bath and it really came back to life.I picked up a lane 1 chainsaw massaqcre because bowling ball .com gave it a 218 on their perfect scale and the bank only got a 210.I thought this would mean it would be stronger,that was clearly not the case,either the rating is way off or the lower the number the better,cause the lane 1 ball doesnt come close to the bank. It cant even play the break down that I was using my bank on.  am so dissapointed,again. nother 150 wasted on a dud ball.
