Well i went open bowling today. I didnt do so well 6 games 157,171,174,170,143,167. (ave is 193 - 195)

One thing it was in a house i dont bowl in and on syn. type lanes with (it seemed) a lot of oil. (owner swears the lanes are wood but they sound plastic to me)

The first 3 games i noticed i was tracking across my thumb hole (tell tale thump-thump down the lane). All 3 games were with diff balls toxic, TFD, VG. The 4th was with my hex-plosion and no thumb hole role and a lot more movement. track was no less than 1" from thumb same goes for the messenger (green) and rising. The first 3 i got movement but not much.

I removed tape from the holes of the toxic and TFD and i seemed to stop the extremly high track on those 2 not sure if that was the cause or not. I ran out of time to throw the VG a second game.I also lowered my back swing and then got my movement back. Not sure why i started musceling the back swing.

noticed that the TFD wasn't hooking as much as new. It has about 26 games on it. the surface has been knocked down with a green scratch pad (litely).

Think i should give it a bath, and if so will it still be ok to use Friday morning(how long it takes to dry out)?

Confused as to why the difficulty all of a sudden. Dont normally roll the ball like that (by far).

If you choose the bath in my experience with bathing high performance balls it will be more than ready by Friday.When it calls for it I bathe mine the mornings of league and within the 6~8 hours I readjust the surface and they roll like new.If your Twisted Fury Destruction only has 26 games on it I would hit it with some clean and dull or factory finish polish [depends on what surface adjustments ,if any you've made] or whatever similar products Brunswick suggests you to do so.

I bathe my Anger the night before and apply clear and its ready to go the next day, kinda.... needs a heavy oil lane for a game or two to smooth out a little.

You stated you bathe it and apply clear. What do you mean by you apply clear?

Well i got video taken and am not happy... The Twisted Fury Destruction is almost the same as my toxic. Actually i think the toxic hooked more.

Thinking of plugging and getting the TFD redrilled.. It currently drilled lenth thinking of going the other way -----> max hook (but not full roller).

the VG I was loven it in the video... can miss out and wow it returns like a retriever.

The TFD dissapointed a lot of people, from the 1 I saw around here and people throwing it in videos, it doesnt hook as much as people thought it would at all, I would try something shorter Pin to PAP to get it to start a little earlier or knock the cover off it a little.

i took it down to 400 wet sanded (by hand) and with that it is almost identiacl to the toxic.

thinking of puting it back to oob and drilling it for max hook/max arc.

just love brunswicks video of the ball. they give ya the oil lenth but not what drilling was used for the demo (was it drilled legal)?

came across the posts of the RICO drilling..... would this be a good or bad thing on a Twisted fury destruction?
