It really comes down the the bowler. IF you don't have a lot of rotation, lights are fine, with hand I couldn't use it on anything less than Mediums. To give you an idea of versitility, early in the year I took it to 4000 abralon and a light polish and used it on a lighter medium house, later in the year when I found something I liked better there, I took it to 600 grit and used it on a swamp in another house. So it can pretty much cover whatever, but style pretty much dictates.
