Original and Absolute surface
« on: December 05, 2006, 12:02:21 AM »
Do most of you find that you get better results from the Original and Absolute if you change the surface or do you leave it in box condition?  I know this depends on the lane conditions but for average conditions do you feel a change is needed?

Also, do you think the AI, OI and maybe the Rampage would be a good three ball combination for most conditions (not extremes)?

Thanks for the help.

i got the best reaction out of my inferno by wetsanding it 2,000 grit and no polish. it was too over/under when it was polished. my absolute inferno worked best for me when it was finished with a 4,000 grit abralon pad and brunswicks rough buff. the absolute inferno was much stronger and the very fine sanding and the rough buff gave the ball more length yet still had some traction in the oil.

Yes I found my AI work better for me in box conditions.I didn't like it when i apply polish. Mine is drilled max hook & flare.

For me, AI OOB. OI 500 grit abralon with light polish or 2000 abralon.
