What surface is under the power Edge Polish?
« on: March 16, 2025, 07:07:41 PM »
Trying to figure out what surface is under the PE Polish on my Origin. Also was wondering the same thing about my Road Warrior? The only thing listed under surface on both balls is Power Edge.  No grit mentioned.  Any help would be great.    Thanks

Send Storm a message and ask. Way more reliable than any answer you’ll get here.

1. 500-grit – Firm pressure for 30 sec.
2. 1000-grit – Light pressure for 10 sec.
3. Quarter-sized amount of Power Edge, high pressure for 15 sec.
Use water as needed. Wipe excess polish off using any Storm
approved ball cleaner.

Thank you. Looks like it’s 500/1000 on all power edge finish balls.

Power Edge is a type of polish or finish that’s applied to the ball’s surface, typically giving it a smoother, higher-gloss look. However, the polish itself doesn't always directly indicate the underlying grit level.

For the Origin and Road Warrior balls, if they only list "Power Edge" under the surface description, it’s likely that the manufacturer applied the polish over a base grit finish. Typically, manufacturers apply a finer grit (around 1000-1500) as the base surface before adding the polish.

To get a more precise answer, you might need to contact the manufacturer or the pro shop where you purchased the ball. They should be able to provide the exact grit level before the Power Edge finish was applied.

If you're looking to alter the ball's reaction or track down the surface for maintenance, a good approach is to ask your pro shop to resurface the ball and fine-tune the grit level for your specific needs (i.e., adjusting the finish to give you more traction or length).
