Hey Stormtroopers,

If you've read any of my thoughts on these boards, you'll know I'm addicted to the Paradigm Passion and everything it stands for.  You'll also know my game has changed significantly since I got the ball originally drilled up.

I haven't had the chance to throw it much recently, so I decided to bring it out and toss a few games with it.  I noticed a very strange thing with the Passion, and also my other solid balls:  I have to throw them slower or they skid right past the breakpoint.  Does this make any sense to you?  I'm absolutely puzzled as to why.  The solids most DEFINITELY pick up earlier than the pearls, even if they are thrown too hard.  But what I'm trying to figure out is why does this ball go so far if thrown too hard.  

But on heavier oil (PBA Patterns), the solids are kings at the slower speed.  I throw my Gravity Shift at the same speed, and it never turns the corner.  Very awkward.  Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

Steve,

I see 3 possibilites. (Might be other reasons)
1. The house increased the oil amount and you're in the middle of many changes and might not have noticed it over these past few months.
2. You've increased your basic ball speed (a good thing these days).
3. After all this use, the ball(s) are oil soaked and need an oil extraction and surface refreshing.

Hey guys, I actually just recently had it rejuvenated and put a fresh 1000 abralon finish on it.  It smells like peppermint again, lol.  

I'm just wondering since I have faster ball speed now, and noticeably more revs, that it's just in need of more head oil to no burn up in the mids.  Another thought that entered my mind:  I may have gotten too comfortable with a pearl reaction, stronger off the spot. I'm going to bring both my Passion and Dimension to practice next time and see what's the difference between them.  Maybe the Passion is just getting old

I used the Rejuvinator oven machine.  I made sure it was done sweating oil out before I stopped.  

And it may just be a lack of oil, but even when I move deeper to play the puddle at Strathmore (an absolute flood), it has trouble recovering off the dry.  My Dimension at 2k has absolutely no trouble bouncing off anything, lol.  It may just be burning up and has no energy left for hook.  I'm going to try it out on the fresh at Strathmore come league time Sunday.  I'm curious to see how it reacts on fresh.  I'll bring both that and the Dimension and do comparisons in practice.  

The more I think about it, the more burning out seems like the right answer.  It is a strong cover/core combination, with a really early drilling.
