Well, I have had some work done to this since my last post. My driller went with a bigger weight hole, added some polish and ......WHAM! The Melee has been brought to life! I see the length AND continuation in the back now! I tested it out this week during some league matches and I still see some minor over/under. He has now taken the polish off and went with a 1500 grit finish to give me a more even roll and eliminate the over/under. i will have to wait until Monday league to test it out with the new surface but I think I am going to have a good night with it, I just have a feeling. I think with this set up I am going to have a ball I can use on any condition and be confident about getting the ball to face up in the pocket. My ball driller has done an excellent job and has been very patient with me, could not have asked for a better experience! thanks AB!
