Since I bowl mostly on high friction surfaces with lower oil volumes, it's unusual for me to hear people complain about a ball being "too clean." 

I did something a little different with this ball:  OOB finish on 1.5 x 1.5 drilling.

Why I like this:  I will admit that this ball is rather conditional, but that was the point; I was filling a void in my tournament arsenal.  The OOB finish with the drilling gets the ball very clean through the heads, and allows the reaction to "lay off" once it sees friction.  This has been very good for me on short sport conditions, or extreme burn on wood.

I have had a few people come to me concerned with the ball not showing a big enough foot print down-lane, but a surface change (many times down to 1000) gives the perfect mid-lane roll.
