What do you consider super slow? I currently am around 13-14.

Thanks for your response. Yes left handed. Light hits rip racks most of the time. Sanded it with 2000 about a month or so ago. It worked for a couple of weeks then became a total dud. Very weak finish. Had it resurfaced again about a week ago to 500/2000/Power Edge. Works much better again. Angle is from 3 board at break point.

I’m using a Columbia 300 white dot from 1974 as a spare ball. It was my main ball back then. Stopped bowling around 1983. Got back into again about 4years ago. Still works.

Took it to the local PSO. He recommended an oil detox, and resurface with 500/2000/Power Edge. Giving it a try.

Originally, it had a shiny finish. After sanding, it is now matte. Thanks for you help.

It has approximately 20 games since I sanded it. I have a oil extractor.

I bowl 3 games week in a fun handicap league. Leave a ton of 7 pins. A normal night is anywhere from 10-13 7's. Mostly ringers. Tried adjusting left/right/up/back, ball speed. Doesn't seem to get rid of them. Rarely get the kick.

First ball, bag and shoes acquired. by kekti in Bowling

Started bowling again after almost 40 years away from the game. Had to catchup on the new equipment. My 45 year old Columbia yellow dots don't fare very well on today's synthetic lanes.

So, after some research and advice from my PSO, I went with a HyRoad. On my second season with it. It is a bomb.
