After how many games should one consider resurfacing a particle ball?

If you use the Ebonite Hook again system does that take place of having the ball resurfaced?

I am asking because my ball had really crappy backend reaction on the lanes tonight.  I keep the ball clean as possible. I wipe after every shot with a microfiber towel. I use the see-saw before I put it in the bag when I leave. Then I get home I immediately use Ebonite Energizer Cleaner and a new microfiber towel to clean it thoroughly.

My ball is an ebonite predator pursuit.

I resurfaced my XFactor but it didnt help much, so I used the Hook Again but I didn't sand it down, after that it came back atleast 90%, and still good after about 70 games.  I am going to try it on my Fear Factor this weekend, coz it lost the midlane and the back atleast 5 boards depends on carry down.
