What are the issues?  What is it not doing that you would expect it too?  Need more info about what you want and how you throw the ball.

The ball seems to not react at all, I have tried putting surface it took a 500 grit pad. It seems like the no matter what I do, put more hand in it nothing, slow it down nothing, find a dry spot nothing. or when I do find a spot the ball is quick to die after I find my spot. I normally end up going to my total to start and vapor to finish.

What is your cleaning procedure,  Have you ever given it a hot water bath or ut it in a rejuvinator

I clean the ball after every set I bowled with it, but I have only bowled maybe 20 games with it. I dont think the ball is just dead this early in its life.

I have the same problem with mine. I got mine last Jan with the pin above to go long and snap. Had it plugged and re-drilled to be more aggressive and it starts a bit earlier but still skates. I am disappointed in the Twisted. If I bowled on bone dry lanes it would probably be awesome but most conditions that I run into are medium. I thought it would be a back-end monster like my Smokin was when I first got it but it is far from that for me.

I bought mine about the same time, and have had all the same issues, i got ride of the smokin for this ball. This was supposed to be my bench mark ball, instead it has just become a ball to keep the bag balanced.

I don't recall it being meant for much oil but I could be wrong.
You might try having a pro shop put its surface to 800 grit wet sand then bowl on a fresh medium oil shot and see what the reaction is.  If you are cleaning it after every set this limits the possibilities of what could be wrong.  I am sure that some Big B guys will chime in shortly.

I meant that I thought it was a ball that got down the lanes easily (which it does) and that has a pronounced move on the backend (which it does not). I'm looking at replacing mine with a Rapid Fire Pearl, Grand Illusion or a Playmaker. I've seen people throw all 3 of these and they make the move that I thought the Twisted would have made when I first bought it.

Grizfan,  All three of those are good balls, Rapid Fire Pearl has HUGE back ends.

Goalie I would come to the same assumption you have.  Did it ever have a good ball motion

Bum deal have you looked at the board for people trying to sell balls I think someone was selling a Copperhead at a reasonable price if you throw 15lb if you throw 16lbs pm me and I will get you something.

what layout is it supposed to be,  Brunswick says you are supposed to drill Twisted Fury's 1/2 inch closer to leverage because they already get a good amount of length
