I saw this video the other day and it reminded me of Rob's comments regarding the various coverstock types.
I have two balls with similar ratings from Bowling This Month: Storm's Son!Q and Intense Fire.
OOB finish was the same: polished. The Son!Q is a symmetrical pearl and the Intense Fire is a asymmetrical hybird. Took the polish off both balls as neither ball seemed to pick up the friction well. Used 2000 and 3000 grit pads. The Son!Q didn't appear to work all that much better without the shine, but the Intense Fire started picking up much earlier and the number of boards it crossed was immense. I've taken the Fire and used a 4000 grit pad on it. Hope it calms down a little...
