I would highly recommend breaking the box shine with a 4000 pad to start, if the ball doesnt slow down fast enough with 4000, go to a 3000 pad.

Thanks for the ideas. Bowl league tomorrow night. Will give it a try. If it does not work, my friends boat might have a new anchor.

Agreed. If you don't end up liking it, sell it or trade it to me because I love mine! Seriously though, I had the same situation you did at first. The box shine just wasn't for me. I hit mine by hand with a 2000 pad, and I've LOVED the ball ever since. It still gets down the lane just fine, but it actually gives a little read of the midlane, and it no longer comes in sideways, which has helped my carry percentage a great deal. It's a great ball. Just keep messing with the surface until you get the look and shape you want.

Had the same problem with my IQ Pearl.  Just too over under and I didn't have the revs to get hitting by hooking the dry.  Tried dulling it, and adding balance hole.  Helped, but eventually I drilled a solid and got the look I really wanted. 

Never mentioned. 

The drilling.  I often notice balls with low diffs like this are often drilled with similar drillings to other high diff powerhouses.

People that used a low flaring diff ball like the Fury or Twisted Fury were warned by Brunswick to drill slightly stronger than their normal drillings with powerhouse high flare balls.

The steps you have taken or being recommended here are naturally preferred if they work.  The last choice is to redrill, all that yucky plug and the like!

Heavy,

I think what you might be saying is 1/2 shorter pin to Pap for these lower Diff balls to give them close to the recovery one is used to.

Maybe I am on track?
