TRY SHOOTING MY BALL.MINE IS GOING LONG AND BACKEND IS WEAK. SHOT 270 WITH IT TODAY PRACTICING ,BUT HAD TO PLAY STRAIGHT UP TEN. WANTED THE BALL TO OPEN UP THE LANE AND GO FROM 13 TO 4 .WAS HOPING FOR THE MONSTERIOUS BACKEND I KEEP HEARING ABOUT.GONNA MESS WITH THE SHELL DURING THIS COMING WEEK TO SEE WHERE I CAN GET IT.BALL APPEARS TO BE MORE NEEDY DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS.

More length or less backend than what? Do you have a ball to compare to?

If you want more length polish it more.  If you want to smooth out the backend reaction try scuffing it with 4000 Abralon, then 2000 and so on until you get the reaction you want.  Like smash said, do not be afraid to adjust the coverstock.
