Tracking
« on: November 24, 2004, 05:09:13 AM »
Let me get this straight...yesterday I took my Ultimate Inferno out for a spin after I got it redrilled 1L by the Brunswick drilling sheet. What is tracking a sign of? ( Right now, the ball has a track after one quick game of throwing it just as the first ball) Cleaning it doesn't take it off. Sanding or polishing it will I know but when the ball tracks like that does it mean there is not enough oil for the ball and it's grippin too soon?

Either there is not enough oil applied, or the lanes (typically the heads, especially on wood) are worn.  I've never seen it after one game, but I've thrown on older wood lanes that put a healthy track on a ball after 3 games.  Since it happened so fast, I'd assume the heads are shot.  With a strong ball like the UI, try moving inside at least 5 boards and don't swing it to the dry.  The further from the track you play, the heads are usually in better shape because the have seen less play.
