Bruiser sanded question
« on: September 30, 2004, 05:05:03 AM »
Hey fellas I was thinking about sanding the bruiser. What grit do you think would be best and what reaction would I get if I sanded it. Right now its kind of flippy on the backend. It flys to the pocket.

Am thinking of doing the same to my Bruiser.  My plan is to take it gradually, starting with 800 and working downward from there.

I took mine down to 600 once. Man that sucker got strong. I only threw it on a medium condition house shot, but it covered some boards! No sign of any early energy bleeding like even "light-load" particles do for me in this house. I got the same reaction from a 600 grit Time Zone. PK18 seems to handle surface real well.

From its box finish of around 1500 grit polished, I'd first take it to 1200 grit, then work my way down from there: 800, 600. If I needed to take it below 600, I'd buy another ball or quit bowling.

I was actually just interested, right now it will fly back to the pocket from 5 and strike. And that is fine becaue I can use it on many mediums I was just interested in how it would perform.

It would be the smoothest arc you've ever seen, or could be depending on the drilling. I've brought mine down with a green scotchbrite pad by hand, and it was very very smooth through the heads (surprisingly) and a real smooth arc all the way in to the pocket. Then again, I mean I dont have much hand but none the less.

Well i put some descent revs on the ball, I would be considered to have some hand but an arc from it may not be bad. I have a 10 30 drill on mine.

My drilling is not over the fingers its below and to the right of the fingers with the cg kicked to right with a small weith hole. I spoke to my driller who said that was a 10 30 drilling.
