YOu'd have to sand an Atomic to 120 grit to get it to hook in oil when he has no revs. Your customer does not seem to have much sense bowling-wise if he expects any ball to hook in oil, throwing up the middle with no revs. I suggest you watch a newbie bowl next time before suggesting any ball for any condition. You just can't count on their having any bowling sense.

I subbed in a handicap league recently and my friend's (he's older and retired) son, about 35-ish, whine to me about his Ultimate Inferno not hooking. He was basically doing the EXACT SAME THING AS YOU DESCRIBE FOR YOUR CUSTOMER: he was dumping down between the 3rd and 4th arrow, with no revs, no rotation, all forward roll and then whining about it not hooking. I was speechless, LITERALLY! I wanted to scream at him but I held it in and just walked away.
You should, too.

BAPS_Eric,

I have to offer this opinion: the man is a bowling ignoramus, arrogant and stubborn in the extreme. Provide any satisfaction you deem acceptable and disassociate yourself from him forever more.

The Atomic will "move" even with some thumb weight (all but ignorable with dynamic cores) much more than any Punisher, on medium or heavier oil.

On the side, Which ball was sanded to 400 grit? It was not clear.

Actually he is a quite knowledgable bowler.....and sorry I forgot to mention this.....his mark is usually 13-14 out to 10-11 and back in....to me he doesn't need to play that line in any house that is heavy oil...but that is his natural shot.....but I do have to try and correct my mistake....and after talking to one of the other guys that works with our company....he told me that the core in that ball is tall and because of the pin placement on the drilling it won't let the ball flip over and get into its roll since he is a high track player....so A.) I can put a X-Hole in it to see if that would help or maybe some type of surface...or B.) Redrill with the pin more right and level with the ring finger.....I mean this is one outta prolly 150 balls I have drilled this year that hasn't had the desired reaction that the customer wanted....the thing is I just am very hard on myself for customer service and want all to be happy (which never happens all the time) but I try....so thanks guys and gals....Eric
