    You'd be surprised how little actually comes off. I wonder just how long it would take to get below the engraving. I love my spinner. My biggest problem has been inconsistent polishing. Sometimes my Slingshot comes out fine, other times I make it a spare ball and I have to redo it. It's great for keeping a consistent surface on a ball, too. I use 4000 abralon for my Lanebreaker and it comes out right every time.

    If they engraved them as deep as they use to, it would take along time to sand it off.

    On the polishing , try spreading the polish around the ball surface before turning the spinner on. If you put it on while spinning it's harder to spread it evenly.

    Default New Ball Spinner!!! Works GREAT!

    I just watched to DVD,,, great information! Also just finished my Wife’s ball! I did not tell her that I resurfaced it. It will be fun to see how it works out. We are going bowling this evening! I also experimented with my 3 balls! I have a notebook that has all the details as to what I did to each! It will be fun to see how it turns out. ESP,,, (((((my wife’s ball, that she does not know I messed with! Susshhhh!!!) Thanks for all the advice and pointers!

    Logged all the various fazes I put each ball through! Since they are all different, important to know what I did to each, and how they responded. I know the lanes also make a huge difference. When we bowl league, fresh house pattern, oil!
    It made a big difference in each ball. I followed the procedures and tweaked each ball differently!
    Wow… what a difference!!!!!!!! I wish I would have gotten one of these before bowling Jason!
    My Wife’s Cyclone was starting to lose its kick , that was so sweet when she first got the ball. I sanded it with 350…… then 500….. then 800,,, and polished the ball! It looked, and worked great!! She said: Wow I was about to take you up on getting that new ball last week….”But why spend the money on a new one when you can make mine come back to life…”” Yes,,, she is not stupid!! She knew I worked on it! Thank YOU JESUS,,,, I did a good job, or I would be living in the camper at this moment! One thing about my wife,,, don’t mess with her stuff!! She is a hands on woman herself! After throwing several strikes….. no complaints!!
    I did great also…… but I fear Jason might be reading this, and I am not about to pass information on to him! Lets just say that when you own a spinner,,,,,,, it can put a new spin on bowling challenges!!
    As I get better and better at using this remarkable tool,,, I look to hit that 700 series this summer, and that elusive,,,, been close many times,,,,300 game!
    we bowled 6 games, her best 3 were 187, 192, and 171. she is at the present time a 152 average league bowler.

    I dress up all my balls, as best I could at my age, and logged it all in tablet what I did to each! Also did my wife’s two balls…. Ok,,, let me make this clear,,, BOWLING BALLS! Also made notes as to what I did to them… Did not touch, other than light cleaning the new MANIC…. It worked so good first use; I didn’t want to harm a single grove!! Will let you know how the ball spinner worked out dressing the balls for the first time!
