I changed the surface on the Grip It prior to league last night. I hit it on 4 sideds with a T pad and put some polish on it. I was seeing it read a bit early and not retaining energy at the pins in previous league nights. As a result this was not allowing me to move deep enough as the lanes transitioned. However, after making the surface change, I had much better results. On the fresh, it worked flawlessly as it had without polish. When the lanes transitioned, that's when I really saw this ball perform. The polish gave it a little extra length and the move off the dry was as strong as it was when on fresh oil. I could easily move deeper and still have the same ball motion and more recovery room to the right. I have yet to find a ball that I could use all 3 games from start to finish, but the Grip It accomplishes that. All in all, this ball works great with multiple angles and numerous shots.
