me Ultimate Inferno
« on: November 04, 2004, 11:07:13 AM »
i've had my UI now for about 10-15 games drilled 1E for heavy oil factory finish 800 grit. now i was bowling today and had my V2 Clean still polished and the UI was hooking the same amount if not less. i dont know what's up with the ball because there was a decent amount of oil and i'm pretty sure it wasn't burning up before the backend? anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this?

Mine was the worlds greatest ball out of the box, then 10 games later it was a plastic, hook about the same as my X-Factor Deuce...

i did have it polished up but it skid way to far, sometimes didn't even turn the corner. either i expected way too much of this ball, or it is not the ball i was looking for. though i have not used it on truly heavy oil. i guess i cant make any decisions yet until then now can i?

my normal house doesn't put a lot of oil down, medium with a little bit of dry backends at most. is it possible to ask one of them to put down a heavy oil pattern or is it set in the lane oiler machine to put down the normal pattern and would have to alter the machine settings? i dont know anything about those machines...

Try sanding down to 320grit first, than polish it to 600 grit. Try 1200 polish if that is still early.
Tom Tomaras prepared this surface for one of my students' Ultimate Inferno(5X4).

When fine tuning, if I want to polish a dull oil ball, I always sand it down to lower grit first. Otherwise, you "relatively" sacrifice the midlane and make it too weak for the condition it is intended for. In other words, best way to fine tune the reaction while staying in more or less the same range in terms of oil handling capability, first sand it down, than polish it.

 I have successfully experienced this on many Ultimates, Full Trottles, Killer Instinct Sandeds, Trottles, Phenoms..

Hope this helps,
