I have always liked my misfit pearl on the dry, but I recently decided to change the surface a bit to eliminate the tiny bit of over under reaction that I saw from it occasionally. I took it to 3000 grit and my god this ball became a beast! First game of league on a dryer than normal shot, I was stubborn and didn't pull this ball out soon enough and finished with the last five for a 169 ( too many chopped soaked.) I then shot 225 before the lanes became trashed too much to carry and finished in the 180's with no strikes. After league, I moved to another set with a little more head oil but still with dry back ends and shot 217 and another 225. I am super impressed with this ball! It gave me warning of when I had to move while still carrying which I have never seen from this ball at OOB surface. I would have bowled quite a bit better had I eleminated the operator error from the equation (sir tugsalot is my nickname. And giggles lol)

The 3000 pad dulled the ball enough that I can look at it without sunglasses now. then only problem is that it is the "white glove test of bowling balls" as my pro shop guy says

I recently got one and had it drilled pin under my ring finger with a balance hole on the VAL. The problem I'm having is that it is just sliding with a little movement at the end, but not nearly what I expected. Throwing the same line with a Hyroad goes into the nose, so I thought this would be a good complement to it. Not so far!

I have it OOB. Would taking off some polish and sanding to 4000 or maybe 3000 help?
