i have a warp zone that has been wet sanded down to 600 grit and still hooks very little. its drill for a strong early hook but i dont see that at all. i want to use this as my heavy oil ball. what would happened if i took it down to 200 or 220 grit?

highest game = not high enough
league avg. = its getting there
tournaments won = let me get back to u on this one

i tryed putting it in the dishwasher a little while back but didnt see much differents. that normally works. i'll mess with it alittle more and if it won't do what i want it to many that will be the excuse i need to buy a fury.

Are you sure you use it on enough oil? The WZ has PK18 coverstock with a medium particle load - it should be very durable. It needs good oil to work properly, and with a strong drill for early roll/arc it might simple be that it rolls out and depeletes its energy too early.

Furthermore, the WZ will arc, and that very early, so you might get the impression that it does not hook much since its back end is not booming. It has a killer hook rating on the Brunswick charts, but this hook is very even.

BTW, too much surface (IMO anything under 400 grit) might even reduce the contact area of the ball surface and decrease the grip level of the ball.

No particle ball should be thrown from left to right in my opinion. The only Brunswick ball I've seen that can do so effectively is the Ambush. The strength is shown with predictable roll from straighter angles.
