Alright, so we finally made graphs of the ball paths for 3 bowling balls. The graph on the left represents the ball which has been tested at BOX CONDITION, on the right is after a Snake Oil treatment.

Test One - 39ft House Shot
The results were almost IDENTICAL... the surface was similar to out of box and so was the preformance.

Test Two - Cheetah
Using Snake Oil gave us more bite in the backend and moved our break point about 14inches back allowing the ball to flip sooner and gave a smooth transition into the pocket instead of a swift jerk. Although Tom was throwing up the 8 board, his breakpoint was consistently at 5. In the first game Tom was leaving a few 10pins but after tucking his pinky they succumbed to the venom.

Test Three - Viper
With Snake Oil the ball was much more predictable and he was able to play a much straighter game (being a stroker, this was his A game). Tom Started with a smooth slower ball motion throwing 15 trying to throw just right of the outer breakpoint target about 8/9 board. Tom changed his axis rotation not to over hook the ball and create unneeded wobble/skid. Towards the second game Tom developed a hold and was able to shoot a nice 245.

I am going to post the graphs from Resurrection and some more for Snake Oil in the next couple of days.

Thanks for looking!

Kevin,

Please clarify.
Were these balls, when treated with Snake Oil, first sanded and then polished with Snake Oil, instead of whatever the factory used to polish them?

If so, to what grit were they sanded and by what/how?
I'm assuming you used Resurrection, then Snake Oil, but I want to be sure.

Thanks.
