Messenger Ti Pearl
« on: September 12, 2007, 05:14:54 AM »
Anyone know what the OOB finish on this ball is?  Anything more detailed that "polished"?  The C300 site is pretty deficient now when it comes to the retired balls.

I believe most of the C300 pearls at that time were polished to 2000.

I was thinking it's probably their 2000-degree polish (which I don't have).  I like Brunswick's system: Three, maybe four stock finishes.  400-grit polish, 220-grit Rough Buff, 400-, 600-, and sometimes 800-grit sanded.  Storm's pretty much 1500-grit polished or 800-grit sanded until the last few balls.  Ebonite and Columbia were all over the place.

I am about 80-90% sure that the original stock on it was 800 grit then 2000 degree polish.  Hope this helps.
