Aight ive had my virtual for bout 6 months, and it may have 60 games on it. Ive had it rejuvinated once about a month and a half ago and i changed the surface to 2000 abralon no polish for a tournament i bowled in. Ever since i changed the surface, it has rolled like pure crap for me. So im gonna rejuvinate it again tomorrow to make sure there''s no oil in it. so what do i need to do to get it "close" to oob reaction, because ive tried the 360, 500, then whatever final grit you want and i still cant get anything close to the reaction i got 6 months. it doesnt have a weight hole, would that be an option? here''s a pic of the layout on it:http://s826.photobucket.com/albums/zz189/stopncrank/Mobile%20Uploads/?action=view¤t=2009-09-11_131056-1.jpg&newest=1
More than anything, i cant get the backend and continuation i got with it before, its almost like its rolling out on the back.
So what do you guys think i should do? weight hole, or is it something in the resurfacing process im missing?

Also make sure the 360 and 500 pads you use for the underlying surface are fresh.  If they're worn, the ball will not get the same surface texture, and it will react different.  I touched up the surface on my Reign about a month ago, and went with the same finish I had originally put on it immediately after getting drilled -- straight from 500 to 4000 on a spinner, then polish by hand.  After redoing it, the ball really labored to pick up a roll and didn't want to finish on the backend.  I tried adding more polish because I thought it might be reading too early, but that didn't help any.  I went back to the pro shop, and we realized the 500 abralon pad we had used was really worn, so we redid it using brand new pads, and the ball started reacting like it did when it was brand new!  It's amazing how big a difference such a slight change made.
