I was bowling with my 3 day old doom and tornado last night, when my tornado came back with a HUGE cut/burn mark on it. About 3 inches long and 1 and a half inches wide. I move lanes, and then my dang DOOM comes back with the same mark, just not quite as deep or long. The manager reordered me a tornado, but wants to try and get the mark out of the doom with a dang resurfacing! I am SCARED to death that it will lose its reaction if it is. He should be ordering me a new one if you ask me, but i am not one to complain that much. I will keep you guys updated, and also, have any of you resurfaced a doom, and what were the results.

Problem is that you're not one of tommy's buddies. I've had a couple balls resurfaced after plugging and they turned out fine. Hard to really know. I've had others that also died after resurfacing. Good luck.

It will not be quiet as strong when you first get it back from resurfacing, but once you get a track back on it(5 games or so)..it will be all good again.

No joke nick, but if my last name was arrowood, OMG i would have all kinds of stuff thrown my way. I guess I am just not one to complain that much, but i mean THREE DAYS OLD. Ernie says that he can fix it, and that it will react just as well as it does now. We will have to see, and if it dont me and ole tommy boy are gonna have a real talk lol.

Won't do much good to talk to tommy. Of course if you complain enough it may help. Hate to hear that about your stuff. That's why I hate throwing new stuff in that house. Like legend4life95 said, it will probably be just fine. All of them I've resurfaced recently has ended up bein as strong if not stronger than before. Of course I havent thrown a hammer in a long time so not sure how it ends up doing. I can't say too much about getting stuff replaced there. I've had 1 thing returns that Eric Humphries has now that got a HUGE gash out of it then my black vendetta got the bridge broke completely out of it. Guess it has to be significant before he'll replace it. Just dont let anything get tore up in travel league. They do everything in their power not to replace stuff.

LMAO about travel league. I would not be mad about it, but i flare right over top of it. And hammer now, if just a glorified Ebonite so go from there. The true test will be tonight, i have to bowl ernie and his team tonight, and i have ernie in singles. Maybe with him throwing the one, and me throwing the doom, i can cut his line all to hell lol.

Good luck on that one. I've only thrown one ebonite ball as well so dont know a ton about those either. Hopefully it will be ok. Ernie usually does pretty good on the balls he works on so I' sure it will be fine. Good luck with it.

I believe Alton said it's Anne Marie, Trent, Marcus, and Shane. Always hate bowling them because I want Anne Marie's team to do well but we want the points to get 1st seed.

Nuskoolstyleoldskoolballs, if your getting even one replaced I be happy. Myself and my brother-in-law went to our center and 3 of our balls brand new, fell off the track and droped 16inch's onto the concert floor under the lanes. The guy working almost couldnt get to them due to lack of space he was all cut-up from reaching for them. Hell when he first came back with one ball and said were it was we ask about the other 2 balls? He spent the next 20 min's looking for them. We were on lane 15 one ball was down by 13 the others were by 17. They tried to fix them, but one was so bad it still had a DENT in it,they said oH thats not in the track it will be fine. my brother in law rased hell till they gave him 140 bucks. The best part was they told him dont ever tell anyone because they had never replaced a ball and did want to explane why they did it for you and not others. Thing is if a ball come back with a chip thats normal wear and tear, but for it to hit the concert floor after coming off the track thats something else.
So you doing good to get the one replaced, or you would be at our center.

I feel ya there man. Marcus shot like 290 against us last week. And watch close, HE DOES put his thumb in the ball lol. How about trying to concentrate tonight and shooting something so Randy will shut his mouth. He needs someone to show him what a real bowler is.
