For me, the Shift is very responsive to user adjustments. If the backends dry out too much and it overhooks, just put a little more speed on it or take your hand out of it somewhat and you'll be ok. However, depending on how light your shot is, you may want to put it in the bag and look for something else. Make no mistake, the Shift is a strong bowling ball, which leads me to ask why you got it for a light oil shot. I think a Thunderstruck Pearl or Jolt Pearl would have been a better ball for said conditions.
