Too much length, too little hook, too little back end...?
These are 4000 grit OOB, so a slight dulling (2000 or 1000) might make the come to life if you're seeing too much oil. If it's hooking early or burning up, add some polish.
I threw mine 1-2 games on some old wood lanes when I got it (where the pro shop is located). The first game or so, I wasn't real impressed. Length was fine, but didn't see the back end I was expecting. I was ready to chalk it up to the old wood until I threw it more. After another half game, it was hard to give the ball enough room. On my two synthetic lane leagues, I'm getting the movement you'd expect out of a Black Widow. Not a very sharp back end, just a big sweeping arc, but I did drill mine relatively weak. Plus I bought mine more as a tournament arsenal ball. Something for between my Storm Tour Power and MoRich WMB. Something that will handle some oil, but will have more back end than the WMB.
