I have a Dv8 and its not reacting like I would like it to , but I haven't bowled with it as much as I would like to. I was thinking about having it touched up with a 3000 abalone pad , I wanted to know what you all think about doing this??

Adjusting surfaces to better match conditions is always good idea.

But other than that you've given no information to base a better opinion on.

Information like:

Which DV8 is it?

What conditions are you using it on?

How is it not reacting in the way you want?

Is it hooking too early/much or too late/little?

Also "abalone" is a sea snail, you mean a Abralon pad.

I agree with the others. Sure, surface changes are always a good place to start if you don't like the reaction you're getting. Still, without knowing what ball you've got, what you're throwing it on (general idea), what it's doing/not doing, and your style, it's really hard to give you any decent advice. Fill us in a bit, and we'll be more than happy to offers suggestions. There is no shortage of opinions around here! lol
