Oh that's pretty cool, I really should look into it. What is the general going rate for a coach anyways?

Depends on where you live, and how good the coach is.

Also what is the benefit of getting a pearl coverstock over just going with a 4000 or any other ball rated for light-medium oil.

Pearls are designed to slide through oil, conserve energy and react to friction aka generally pearls go longer and are more angular than solid coverstock balls

Hmm thanks for the info, and yet another variable for the next ball choice

So I took the Street Rod to the pro-shop and had it resurfaced and polished the same as my Cyclone. WELL. It sure as hell is a lot easier to get down the lane, but it doesn't flip over for **** anymore. I usually bowl from the far left marker, but that wasn't working at all, so i moved right and started hitting better, but it was still not good. It was like the entry angle was just way too shallow from not hooking in enough. Ended up being a terrible set of games. 135 avg after 5 games.

I'm thinking of taking it back to the 2000 grit and just keeping it for a oily ball. I was pretty stoked when I saw the proshop had a 14lb DV8 Misfit Pearl used. So I think I'm gonna trade in my 12lb Cyclone for it.

What was the under lying grit on the street rod? 2000 still? You might have just been putting too much speed on it. Also i always find that i need to break in a freshly polished ball a bit before it reacts the way i want it to. That misfit pearl should work for you nicely

I think it is actually. I told him I wanted 4000 with polish, but he only charged me $5 and said it didn't need a full resurface. It's glossier than my Cyclone now, but I've never polished or cleaned the cyclone.

I don't think I was throwing a lot of speed, that was part of the idea of polishing it to prevent my self from throwing it so hard to get it down the lane.

Yeah I'm gonna try to make it to the shop to trade in the Cyclone tonight for it. Sounds like it will snap over at the back end better than how my Street Rod is now.

im guessing he just hit the ball with a 4000 pad then polished it. Perhaps 4000 grit polished is just too much length(i know i never have success with it). Looks like options would be to try out 2000 + Polish, 4000 grit sanded, or go back to OOB finish of 2000 grit. Another option would be 1500 grit polished as many people seem to have success with that.
