Microscopic view of ball surfaces

[bowl1820]

Just some microscopic views of the different ball cover types (collected from various sources).

Note the pores in the reactive resin, that's why it's important to clean and surface. To keep those open.

Very Interesting. Would there be these pictures after some number of games? Could these reflect surfaces on different manufacturers? A picture is worth a lot of words, but they also generate many questions. Nice work.

While there might be some others, I've never ran across them.
