I do not know if there have been previous posts about this particular topic or not, but anywho here's my situation.
I have two Inferno's. One of them I hit lightly with a green Scotch Brite, and the other I left factory finish.
Well, due to some rather rough wood lanes that I bowled on a few weeks ago for CA State Tourney, the factory Inferno needed to be resurfaced. I got it back two days ago, and I can definitely say that it is a completely different ball. I have a 5x5 layout on it, and it used to go pretty long but turn the corner hard and plow through the pins (on my center's shot, which is 35 ft, 10-10 with a fair amount of oil in the middle and medium/dry backends). After resurfacing and bringing it back to factory once more, I threw a good game or two and I've found that it closely resembles the reaction of a plastic ball. I'll throw it some more before making any adjustments, but I'm bummed out because the reaction seems to be totally gone.
With the first ball, I put the pin under and left (I'm a lefty) of the ring finger, and kicked out the cg about a half inch from directly below the pin. When dulled with the Scotch Brite, the ball was a down right BEAST (same shot as mentioned before). I made that surface adjustment about 2 months ago when I first drilled it. Now, after keeping the ball clean, wiping it down every shot and cleaning it weekly, the covered boards seems as if it has been cut down by 40%-50%. There is a chance that the ball is just dirty, but I don't think that is quite it because I haven't thrown it too much.
Has anyone else experienced this situation? If so (or not), does anyone have and suggestions/comments that may cure the 'problem' with either of these bowling balls? I really like both of them, and would really be disappointed to see them leave me already.
