Mine is still quite strong. The cover creates lots of friction, so if someone were to use it with the rough buff box finish and hit dry boards too early it may seem to roll out a bit. If you want to play the drier area of the lane you'd probably need to shine it a little more, depending on your ball speed, etc.
The key for mine is to get a little skid on the heads so it saves the hitting power for the pins...
