It may not have cured properly.

I just use plain Naphtha. Put a few drops on an old cotton handkerchief and rub it around the inside of the hole. It leaves the hole squeaky clean without the need to use another chemical to clean out the residue left by Goo Gone. And it can also remove any oil from your fingers/thumb.JohnP wrote:Try Goo Gone to get that mess out of the thumb hole. I dampen a paper towel with it and work it around the inside of the hole with a finger. It's citrus based. After use I use rubbing alcohol to remove the last of the Goo Gone. You can find it at any WalMart, Home Depot, etc. See the link for more information. -- JohnP

I like this idea! Since you are more comfortable with urethane balls, why not try a few different layouts/surfaces and see if that works for you. Four layouts, 5 pads; in effect you have a 20 ball arsenal. (I'm serious)Nord wrote:. . . Take a bowler like Jesper Svensson.
He only uses one ball, the Pitch Black urethane. But he has a whole arsenal of Pitch Black urethanes at different grits and layouts standing by so he can grab another as he plays and the shot changes. Isn't that a better strategy? Obviously I can't have 20 balls and a team of reps working them for me like caddies on a golf course like he does. But you get the idea.

As requested, today I went to Kearny and did a video of the Jackpot.MegaMav wrote:Nord, when will you show video of the Jackpot?
It's your benchmark ball, it may be a good way to illustrate your nightly bowling diary on here.
Its about as good as you're going to get considering your release specs.Nord wrote: Also, is the Jackpot doing the thing you wanted MegaMav?
You didn't really hear what I said.44boyd wrote:you keep asking the same question expecting a different answer. Get the ball further right earlier and it will come back. If it's rolling up early outside 10, that means you have free hook to bounce the ball off of. So if it labors at 43 feet at 8, get it to 6 at 35 feet (first range finder) and it should make the move with your ball speed. And if you want to play straight(er), bring the Rack Attack since it's your ball down and repeat adjustments. And if that's too strong bring the Widow Spare out and roll that straight off the pattern and repeat adjustments. You have to learn to read the ball, doesn't matter if it's urethane, resin or plastic. Play the lane, not just second arrow. Talking about 10 to 8-7 is only a 2-3 inch difference, which is nothing. Play 2 to 8, 3 to 10 (true down and in), straight up 5, 7 to 3, etc..Learn to bowl, not just roll the ball in one way in a 3 inch wide spot and throw your hands up if it's not there.
