Hi Guys,

Question for y'all on my UI. So I have had the thing for about a year and a half, it has never really done well for me, have bagged it several times and given it several second chances hehe. So I am just wondering if the ball is just worn out, or maybe it just isn't the right ball for my style?

About me:
170ish average
Slowish ball speed: probably around 13-14mph
Not too many revs.
Not much loft
Track just above the finger/thumb holes

The ball seems to just die on me. I can get more movement out of my old Ebonite Timberwolf or Track Enforcer, which should not be the case. Even when I focus on putting more revs on it, it just flattens out and is straight as an arrow in the
backend, am definitely getting frustrated with this thing

Thanks!

yeah...prob drilled 3 3/8 and sanded.....way too much for any backend reaction with slow ball speed.

sounds like pin is in a very strong postition. Burning up means.. too much friction in the heads, leaving no backend strenght. By polishing it, it will slide more the 1st 20-30 feet then start making a turn to the pocket. Right now its just too strong in the front part of the lane.

just take to the pro shop and tell them to sand it to 1000 and polish it....should do the trick....you need it to be done on a spinner, cant do the same job by hand. That should help out the reaction.

Cool thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try.

Realistically, even polished the UI is not the right ball for someone with that slow of speed, unless they're bowling on a bunch of oil. That ball is just not designed to store up that much energy for downlane reaction unless it's someone with a good ball speed or if it's being used on a good amount of oil with a clean backend. And, with the pin below the finger it gets even worse for a slower speed player.
