I also like my Storm X-Factor Trifecta at 500-grit abralon for carry down. Works pretty well, but the Big One looks better.
Hope this helps!

There's your problem IMO. Not enough side roll to get a hard back end reaction to carry.
You probably have ball but don't have the right roll to score better. It's not equipment but your technique that's holding you back.

The mass bias seems to make up for a lack of friction at o an extent when "strong" (referring to mass bias positions) are chosen).
Total Annhilation is a favorite of mine on carrydown!

PS my experiences on carrydown also show 16s seeming to carry MUCH better than anything else on carrydown.

It has a low rg to get into a roll nice and early plus it has an 800 grit soaker/particle coverstock that positively chews through any sort of messy stuff down the lanes.
Nice smooth controllable backend as well.

I guess I'm not understand why you would want more side roll with alot of carrydown. I understand that with stripped backends more sideroll would give you a bigger backend but with alot of carrydown wouldn't sideroll cause the ball to skid further through the carrydown and not react soon enough?
My point is that if you are bowling on a lane condition with carry down then usually you are not bowling on a fresh condition. Heads are going so you need some length and you ALSO need more back end reaction than you are getting with all your forward roll. This is why I find more side roll works better than forward roll. You get length thru heads that are going and better backend reaction.
If the lanes are not being maintained correctly then I'd find out why. If you are bowling on heads that are going with carry down this is the normal situation.
Why everyone is always looking for a cure in a bowling ball is beyond me.

I swear to god our lane guy doesn't touch the back ends throughout the season. They have gradually been getting worse every week. I notice that I can throw my Exception for maybe a game then I have to switch to my WoMB which is dulled down a bit. It helps get me to the pocket a little better but I am lacking that "pop" I get in the first game and a half or so. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. By the way I have quite a bit of forward roll and above average revs and slightly above average speed if that helps.
are you sure is carry down? WOMB has np with carry down!!! Maybe you got too much oil!!

P.S. - Why would you expect to get "pop" from a dulled ball like you were getting from a skid/snappy pearl? Not throwing stones just asking as the characteristics of both balls are not on the same plane.

also I'll try taking the WoMB to somewhere around 1000 grit and see what kinda look that gives me.

I understand what your saying. When you have more forward roll you burn energy early and using a duller ball it might be using soo much up that you don't get the carry. Being a high tracker my natural release is with less axis rotation and energy usage is very critical to my carry although my hook shape may look somewhat the same. Even directional sanding may aid in your issues. Post your experiences.
