I really love the way my Lock rolls but I never have had such bad carry since I bought a new ball. Many different houses (THS) and still the same result. I have ball drilled pin up and have been using in OOB. Last night I switched to a pin down Ride and moved way out and shot 267 with the front 8.  Amazing what a different ball will do for your carry. Also have a fight drilled same as Lock and the carry isn't much better. Thinking of polishing both my Lock and Fight to see if that helps with the carry. I hate to plug a new ball and re drill pin down,  but might have to with these new balls. I like to play right in the track so maybe some polish will help solve the problem. I bought the Ride mainly for spares but that ball sure hits hard. Has me thinking about drilling more stuff pin down and adding some polish. Looking for some opinions on anybody that has polished the Lock and or the Fight. As a last resort I guess I can plug them and change to a pin down drilling.

Maybe I get better results using higher end equipment. Maybe what I bowl on has more oil?  To each his own. I will take my Lock over your lower end ball, and we will see who scores better. If I do change balls from the Lock - I will switch to either my Defiant Soul or Skid. Other options, if needed. Bottom line the Lock is a great piece, most of the time, at least for me it is.

They all tame down from the new out of box shell.

Just asked Tore Torgersen what Storm balls he'll be bringing with him when he comes to my hometown, if he'll bring the Fight.
He said no, and that he has heard rumors that Fight, Lock and IQ 30 too.
If it's true, it's quite bad for Storm.

Rumors about what?

Should I bother answering this stupid question?
Title of thread: "Lock carry stinks so far"
Also, I wrote in my comment that he said he had hear bad rumors about LOCK, FIGHT and IQ 30.

You should bother to make what you write understandable.

You wrote "he has heard rumors that Fight, Lock, and IQ30 too."

What rumors? Thank you for pointing out the obvious title of the thread, there have been different things discussed within the thread
