Low grit, but high polish?

[MICHAEL]

What would a, say storm IQ pearl do drilled strong pin up, if you put a 360 surface on it with a pad, and then put two coats of reacta storm polish cleaner on it!
Would it burn up before it got to the correct break point, or would the polish save the energy enough to give a monster flip at the end?

Depends on your individual PAP, ball speed and rev rate. Change the surface, play with it, if you don't like it, change it back.

Only one way to find out. Go roll it and see what it does. Too many factors as dnhoffman mentioned to tell you for certain what it will do.

I agree that it's worth trying. I have an old Strike Zone that was probably around a 360 finish and I decided to polish the heck out of it. I didn't go directly to polish but I don't think I stepped up my grits gradual enough to avoid leaving the 360 grit lines in the ball. So it's polished but scratched. I don't have Abralon or proper polish yet so I basically use what you would use to restore the clearcoat on a car. 500 grit (which I skipped), 800, 3M Trizact pad (about 1500), 3M rubbing compound and Meguiars Ultimate polish. Yes, sitting on the agitator on my top load washing machine on the spin cycle at 1000 RPM.

That Strike Zone is now a BEAST. It has a control layout but it makes a very angular, strong move to the pocket.

Well I did the 500 grit pad and Reacta-Shine by storm! I did it on the Frantic that has been converted to the Tri Grip! It did get through the heads and look pretty damn sharp going into the pocket! My only problem was, I waited too late to pull it out,,, 3rd game 8 frame.

Now I curious as to what a 180 and 360 will do with Reacta-Shine? Its fun having a spinner, and playing!!! (

best game was a 225,,,, I can't believe I missed the fricken 7 pin in the ten frame, or would have had a 235! I NEVER miss the 7 pin!!

Lack of focus!! One of the things I love about bowling is it keeps this Super Hero,, very humble!! LOL

these experiments are always fun. I took my taboo spare to 500 grit one time to see what would happen. I was pleasantly surprised how much of a beast it was. Not very good for getting 10pins at 500 grit but as a strike ball it was good

Thinking about adjusting some,of my surfaces today..hrm

[MICHAEL]

Each time I make a surface change with sanding/pads/polish, I have a notebook and write down all the changes! That way you can make notes in that same note book as to your observations on ball performance with THAT PARTICULAR surfacing!

Its easy to forget, and good notes might just be very important should you come up with a winning combination!

I know just before I bowled that last 300, I did a complete overhaul of my Virtual Gravity Nano, pearl! I am now selling the magic steps, for $234.32!

If interested just send me a check and private message asking for the formula!

No rubber checks will be accepted!

I put my sync yo 500 to try try playing over the middle deep inside.

well, didn't work... At all.
