    Default Noob question about resurfacing...

    Just curious, is there a limited number of times you can resurface a ball?

    A true "Resurface" is where you remove all the track, nicks, gouges and surface blemishes to make a ball look like new again. That's not done that often, Back in the day it was said you could do that about 4-5 times.

    But I don't see that kind of resurfacing done much these day, except if a ball has been damaged or a used ball plugged for resale.

    As for refinishing and minor surfaces adjustments basically there's no limit, other than if you've sanded to the point your removed all the labels. But most people probably won't have the ball that long.

    Serial numbers can get sanded off easy, because some are not that deep and have to be re-engraved.

    If the serial is there and you can still see some of the logo your good to go.
