So sand the Black Cherry Bomb lightly to make it hook earlier and little more.
Why buy yet another new ball and risk the 49th disappointment?
The BCB uses a variation of Brunswick's Power Koil 18 coverstock and is not only strong, very flexible and easily modifiable, it is one of the longest lasting and most durable coverstocks ever made.
Start off with a grey nylon Scotch-Brite pad, which is about 1000 grit, and just barely take the shine off the cover. If that does not improve the reaction, then take off more of the shine, with light pressure.
If that doesn't work, use a green pad which is 600 grit and do the same procedure, a little at a time.
