Title: Best surface for a Track Power Machine
Post by: Buckwild on June 12, 2009, 04:19:19 AM

Which abralon pad is best to use for this ball? Also I have Resurrection, Snake Oil and UFO. I dont have a spinner, I'm doing this by hand.

I would recommend using Resurrection to give the ball an 800 grit surface and then apply Snake Oil. By hand it might take a little time but just make small circles until you've covered the ball.

Thanks Kevin! When I sent my post, I didn't recieve any responses, so I went ahead and did exactly what you recommended. I bowl league tonight, so I will see how it turned out. Also, I used Resurrection only on my Epic Battle. How should that work on the lanes?

The balls grit listed on 123bowl.com says 800 grit machine sanded, so your going to duplicate the out of box surface and reaction.

Thanks again! If I'm on a medium THs and have to play inside, will the OOB for the Battle be too much? What would be the best surface ajustment, if needed? I have medium revs and speed.

It all depends on how long the oil is laid. For medium conditions I always recommend a Pearl and a Particle. The Pearl finished with Snake Oil and the Particle at Resurrection (spun on a spinner, so it has a sheen finish).

Personally this is my method for attacking a medium lane condition:
Starting off with the Pearl, the oil will transistions slower for me and provides a good angle to the pocket. Around the 3rd/4th frame of the second game, I switch over to the 800 sheen particle and continue of the same line. The dull surface will carry more oil down and create a buffer so on the middle of the 3rd and the 4th game I can take out the pearl and move right and play a stroker line up 10 which has a hold created by the particle ball. It works for me and a few others who I've practiced with.
