2000 to 3000
« on: October 12, 2014, 05:28:24 PM »
I just got a Disturbed that is at 2000 and it is a little too early. How much of a difference would I see taking it to 3000?

If you use Storm's recommendation for cover maintenance, you'll see more length with 3000 instead of 2000. It's enough difference to try out the change. I just faced the same thing you described with my Marvel S, and took it to 3000 last night.

Thanks Steven. Did it make it more angular or keep the same shape and go longer? I'd prefer to keep the same motion.

I took mine to 3000. But stepped it up from 500. It helped a lot

A little longer, and a little more angular. Certainly nothing you'd call skid/flippy. If you jumped all the way up to 4000, you'd probably see a noticeably different motion.

I would try 1000 + polish, gets it through the heads and still has some teeth down lane.
at 3000 or 4000 dull, the ball will get lane-shine pretty quick
while there will be a difference between 2000 & 3000 dull, it will only be slight.
it depends on what you are looking for

Depending on the lanes you bowl on throwing it 3 games will bring the surface up from 2000 to 3000+

Good post downstroker, i was wondering the same thing, and was wondering what difference it would make on my sport league taking it to 3000 on patterns between 43-47 ft...  I'll just leave at box......
