I've been bowling with the G-Force for the last couple of weeks (pin above the ring Cg along side the thumb) and the ball loses reaction extremely quick.  I cleaned the ball with grey scotch brite pad and Hook-It and it starts out reading the lane well, but within a game the ball lost a ton of reaction.  I tried moving right into fresh oil thinking the heads were fading but the ball didn't recover at all.  I went further right to see if there was carry down and the reaction still sucked.

Anyone else having this problem??

T-God,
I don't talk to Pchee2 very often or Doc Hollywood.  Both great guys.  But I do try and get to Fremont once a year to bowl and have breafast with them.

I think the only time Pchee2 picks up a owling ball is when I go up to visit.  He has spent a lot of time the last couple of years building a race car.  Oneof those dual turbo powered Supras I beleive with the onboard computer system.  You know the type of car.  But the car clocks the 1/4 in about 7 something the last I talked with him.

That plus his fundraising for children business keeps him oppcupied a lot also.

Back to the G-Force.  I am not saying ther G-Force is having TEC Death syndrome.  I will continue to clean it between sets and watch the reaction.  What I am saying right now is that the ball sucks up so much oil so fast, that it loses reaction and quickly.  In a single persson team league, where there is a lopt of oil and you could be the nly person playing that line, you are sucking up all the oil.  Not getting any help from other teammates or opponets.  IN a four person leaguie when there is a lot of oil there are others picking up the oil.

Honestlt speaking, those who say the ball is hooking more after use is possible.  They can be working in a track, have higher ball track, have other teammates helping to remove some lane oil or just not bowling on the oil volume that I am.

I always expect to read that ne person says the ball is fading and another person says his still hooks the house.  Its a normal phenonemen.

But I just want to recommend anyone using this ball to clean the ball after everyset and it they do stat to lose reaction to use something like a scotch brite pad and something like Hooh-It on a spinner to get the ball hot to help keep the reaction at least better.

does anybody find the ball a little unforgiving? I've drilled the pin under the ring finger. The only problem i find with the ball is that if I throw it right the ball reacts very nicely but if i lose my concentration and throw it a little off the ball doesn't come back at all. With my hrg even if i throw it a little bit off i can get away with it but not with the g-force. Maybe i need to practice a bit more and get a more consistent throw but just wondering if anybody noticed any similar issues when the release is just a little off?

I also find ball reaction very irratic if there is not enough oil. In heavy oil its perfect but after a game or so when the lane starts to dry towards the medium oil level the ball gets a bit irratic which forces me to change balls.

I have 18 games on my G Force and have not lost any reaction at all. I do clean all my balls after each league that I bowl.  Some of my Lane#1 balls have a ton of games on them and have not lost any reaction at all.

Now will is last like with 500 games on them is another question.
