    "My ball is skidding too far, and not hooking, I'll rough it up".


    Now it skids for 5 feet, hooks for 2 feet, and rolls for 53 feet.

    Woohoo good times.

    Lol I did something very similar to this to a storm frantic I had. I just got abralon pads for the first time and was a little rough with the 360 grit I had. Nothing my PSO couldn't fix. Of course now I know what to do

    The bigget mistake I've seen is people thinking regular sandpaper grit and abralon pad grit were the same.
    Biggest mistake I've made was when I first started and didn't realize that Storm's 1500 grit polished was actually 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and Storm Step Two for certain times. Ball rolled out before it could read the midlane.
