quick question on polishing a ball
« on: November 14, 2007, 01:05:16 PM »
im having a little trouble on drier conditions, I dont have a ball made for drier cond., and i dont really have the money to buy a new ball right now so i wondered if this would work.I have a total nv out of box finish i thought i would polish it up to a very high gloss so maybe it would do better on drier conditions,and it would still hit harder than other balls made for drier stuff like power grooves and scouts.
what grit should i shine this to

It's 4000-grit then polished with their factory polish.  There isn't much shinier you can get it.

You could try one of the polishes with a slip agent in it, something like Delayed Reaction or Legends Extended Length polish.  But the surface is basically as fine as it's going to get.

Really, it's not a dry lane ball.  There are plenty of great dry lane balls besides Power Grooves (which hit plenty).
