I've heard that this is a great bench make ball, but i have yet to see anything impressive about it. For one on a fresh house shot it just goes too long and when the condition it becomes very unpredictable, it will over react on the backend and on the next shot not even move. has anyone else had this problem???

Nope.
Whether a ball is a good benchmark for depends on three things: how you throw it, how you drill it and on how much oil you are bowling. Give us some details on those three items, considering there is absolutely nothing in your profile. Then we can make some major suggestions.
Meanwhile, as Drrev2000 says, an initial step that can be considered is smoothing down the amount of gloss on the cover with a Scotch-Brite nylon pad a little at a time and test each change to see how the reaction has changed. Another potential change is to start the ball up further outside, closer but not in the actual dry, to smooth out the ball's reaction. A thrid is change your release slightly to use less axis tilt and a more end-over-end release.
A benchmark ball for others may not be a good benchmark ball for you, given the 3 factors listed above.

Ogre Pearl pin to PAP 4.25" over ring OOB.
Hei$t pin to PAP 4.25" over ring CG kicked in 105 deg. OOB.
Thing pin to PAP 4" pin next to ring 60 deg. OOB
DynoThane Solid Black Vendetta pin to PAP 4" next to ring 60 deg. X hole below PAP 1" 2000 abralon
