Thread: Ball polishing with Power House products

    Unhappy Ball polishing with Power House products

    Can anyone help me in the best way to polish up my equipment..I have a ball spinner, P/H Clean & Dull, Factory finish polish, & 3 pads..1000,2000,& 4000. I've shined up my less hooking ball, but I need more length on dry lanes, it hooks too much for a senior stroker..have to throw the ball too hard on dry lanes..need some help..thanks

    With what you have listed there. You would bring the ball up to 4000 first, then follow with the PH factory finish till you get a high shine.

    If you are in need of even more length down the lane, then follow with Powerhouse Extender Ball Polish. This will give even more length than Factory Finish.

    What kind of ball are we talking about? if its a big hooker, you might need to change balls for a dry shot.

    sorry fellows, with dry lanes, I use a (don't laugh) AMF Xtreme Orbit..old school, old equipment. This ball is used for most of my spares..Thanks for the info..also the P/H items were in the container I bought in a set.I think I will try the extender for dryer lanes..

    The AMF Orbit Xtreme was for dry to medium in it's day. But could be strong for some, they had a pearl one too. If you use it mostly for spares and sometimes the dry, you might try a weight hole in your PAP. It could tame it down even more, if the polishing don't work out.

    I would go with a 4000 sand, followed by a coat of Delayed Reaction polish. You want a non-abrasive polish to keep the underlying grit at 4000. Good luck!

    i know storm makes a 3000 polish that has no grit to it.. I use it on my spare ball and had it on my Tropical Storm prior to selling it. the name of it is Xtra Shine. you can get a small bottle for around $7-8 or a quart for 30ish
