I just looked at the ball specs on the Twisted Fury, and as with all Brunswick balls (the ones I've bought lately anyway) it says (not quoting now) if you have 50 plus games and need to restore the surface back to its original coverstock to use a rejuvenator. I feel like my FURY has gotten stronger the more games I've bowled. Or have I just figured out how to throw it? I clean the ball after each set with a Simple Green/alcohol/water mix. I had it cleaned at Nationals last year, but it has never seen an oven. Any thoughts???

Dull balls "self polish" as you use them and shiny balls "self scuff" in much the same manner.
If your Fury's track is getting a little smoother, you might be getting more length and backend out of the ball.

I am getting more length and backend. I notice in warm ups, when the old body isn't quite limber yet, I throw the ball a little slower and I have some difficulty keeping it on the pocket side. Once I'm limber, I can pick up the ball speed to keep it in the 1-3. When I let off the speed, throught the nose and split city!

The FURY is a pretty strong cover, whether polished or not. I had to polish mine to make it usable on the volumes we have here.
Getting more length and backend reaction sounds common for someone who has/had a dull type finish on the ball and it has smoothed itself out over time.
A good cleaning regime will kepp the cover alive for an extended period, but usage WILL change the surface, and that sounds like what is happening with yours.
