That kind of color phasing is common with that ball. The WOMB is a very rolly ball, great for heavier sport conditions. Make sure you have a good pro shop for the resurface (one that has Trizact system?). I smoothed mine out once for medium conditions and no matter what I did afterwards, the surface always felt very smooth, almost slick. It still flared normal, but never had the same grip again. I tried regular sand paper, abralon and siaair but didn't have trizact which I believe Brunswick covers used at that time.
