I suggested to my Pro shop Entrepreneur he get a sign that says:

Rule 1. 
I gave you what you asked for.

Rule 2.
If the ball is not what you asked for, see rule 1, and learn to communicate better.

talking to a pro shop operator he said oob finish on most bowling balls almost means nothing for how the ball performs but more to do with shelf appeal. this is not the first time I've heard this but raises some questions. how many balls designed for heavy oil have the cover's polished up for shelf appeal? and wouldn't that make a heavy oil ball more a med oil ball for the masses? amazes me how they make something as simple as picking a ball even more confusing for most.

Most bowlers buying the high performance ball have no idea what heavy oil is.  Better bowlers and shops know that surface is everything and adjust it accordingly.

 I just drilled two Marauder Madness I got on closeout. Out the box had one drilled for heavier oil and sanded the cover to 1000. The other drilled for when the lanes breakdown and applied heavy polish to the box finish. Hit the lanes and both are exactly where I wanted them to be.

Shelf appeal means a lot for sales to most of the consumers buying both high and low averages. It gets your attention. No bowling ball company wants to push the brown station wagon with wood paneling of the ballmarket.
