good job, bet he was happy..
I took a ball from a teammate last week. He has been struggling all season. I put it on my spinner and took it down to 180 grit on 6 sides, then stuck it in a bucket of oil dry for three days. Then I worked it up to 500 Abralon and hit it with Vise compound. He shot his first 600+ series of the season. Never knew that ball could hook!
good job, bet he was happy..

Yep it's a miracle what a little de-oiling and refinishing
of a bowling ball can do for it.

This ball hadn’t been resurfaced in 6 YEARS!! It was like it was brand new. Just glad he had a night where he wasn’t so frustrated.
Good job coming through for him. I love my spinner, and couldn't imagine being without one. People at my pro shop pay $5 just for a 45 second touch up with whatever grit they want.
Every serious bowler should have a ball spinner.
My wife wasn’t happy with the cost, but the first day I had it, I resurfaced every ball I owned that needed it, plus every ball in my house the family owned. More than paid for itself on day one.
I'm hoping to get one soon myself. We just moved into a new house with a nice shed with power out back with a nice work bench and a ball spinner would be perfect for it!!!! Only issue is those things are expensive!!!! Lol, but they can make the difference between a bad and good night of bowling, both of mine could have used a touch up for league last night.... A few weeks ago I wanted to throw my Code Red in the garbage but a quick resurface and I was reminded why I love that ball!!!
I guess it depends on your definition of expensive. My single speed Vertex gets the job done for what I need and it was $230 shipped. To me, it seemed like a reasonable price for what I got. I'm taking surface maintenance very seriously now, considering how much money I've spent on all of my balls.
