I guess i did not state clearly enough but I think Scott and JoeC are understanding it. Exception is a medium strength cover highly polished with good amount of flare. WMB is a stronger cover, decent flare and as stated is somewhat dulled down. He stated he can get to the pocket but not have consistant POP on the end (probably losing too much energy early especially with a forward release). Say the ball is at 800 grit why not try 1000 grit which get you through the heads cleaner but still give a consistant read of a sheen or dulled ball and somewhat delaying energy transfer. Also note I stated a touch more axis rotation and not tilt. A touch meaning maybe go from 25 degree axis to 45 degrees or O to 25 degrees. All these slight adjustments change the transfer of energy. Almost always someone pipes in on a new ball and yes they are correct it would fit the bill. I just see too many people jump to a new ball when they might be able to figure it out utilizing what they have. My $.03

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.

lefty I meant pop at the pin deck not the break point.  Just seemed like the carry wasn't there.

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

Kid,

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.
