Hey Group
 Ok, so I am the proud new owner of a ball spinner two nights ago I used a
1000 grit Abralon pad on my "The One"

 and last night I shot 5 games with it so here is my question. Is it alright to use the 1000 grit Abralon pad again on it or should I wait awhile to use it?

 I'm guessing that probably if I use it kinda lightly that it would be ok but I thought I might as well check with you guys first  'charlest' are you in yet???

 Also, with my purchase of my ball spinner I also got these Abralon pads
(1) 180 grit
(1) 360 grit
(1) 500 grit
(1) 1000 grit

so would you suggest some higher grit pads or will these do me just fine? and
would it be ok to maybe get some wet/dry sandpaper of the same grit as they are waaaay cheaper??

thanks group for your help,
Jake

Thanks mrbowlingnut, btw, whats the "life" of a  Abralon pad?

TIA

I have never 'counted' the times I use a pad, but I'll usually feel it and if it's not 'normal', then I'll remark it and use it a few more times at the new grit. Example, a 1000 pad, when it doesn't feel right becomes a 1500, give or take for a couple more balls, then it's out. If I want a true 1500 finish, I'll hit the las few revs with a new 1500 SB, just to make sure the finish. That works for everything but a 4000 pad, that one I usually use the foam backing to apply polish with a few times then it's gone.

I will say, they last a lot longer than sandpaper, which I don't use any more, but that's just me. What works for you might be different, but it's just my suggestion.

Having a few 180-4000 is always a good idea. If you have any questions, just yell, I'll do my best to answer them.
