How often
« on: January 21, 2010, 02:22:25 AM »
How often should you touch up the surface on a ball? Not talking bout cleaning or resurfacing but rather going over it with a abralon pad. Say every 10-20 games?
I want to keep the crisp reaction week to week and i do clean them after every set.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you''ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

I'll hit the surface with a pad once a month.

I have no frequent regimen, I just check whether the track area has lost considerable original finish - for both polished or just sanded surfaces. If the ball is tracked out, I'll give it a touch with the appropriate abrasive - sometimes just cross hatch in the sink under running water. I'd just use the spinner if I want a certain sanding effect, or if I want to refresh a compound or polished finish.

It really depends on many factors - softness, lane conditions, and also the surface grit.
