This is a Pro shop resurfacing?? (video)
« on: January 01, 2017, 10:45:37 PM »
Okay, My chin dropped. He say's this is a Pro shop resurfacing


Watch as he removes two gouges with a bevel knife (Im hoping he filled them with something before he did that. I looked close no he didn't) , only does 2 sides of the ball because doing 4 sides takes too much time, he then does one side at a time and he uses every grit from P100 grit up to 1500 then polish and then flips it over and does the other side!

Well, other than that one thing. You're just picky I guess.  ;D


Look at the positive though, you can sit it on the flat spot and it won't roll off the table.

Okay he has high volume shop , He's IBPSIA certified does a great job on layouts, drilling etc.

But when it comes to a lower priority job like surfacing balls, he figures he has experience and knows what he's doing. So he cut's a some corners to save time and on the face of it the results look good.

This makes me think of a garage.

It's a busy garage, the mechanic is certified and does a great job fixing cars. But when it comes to doing just basic maintenance jobs, he figures with his experience he can cut some corners to save time for for the bigger jobs and as long as the car appears to run good the customer won't care how it was done.

Would you want to take your car there to have basic maintenance done.


Cutting corners is fine, until that one time it isn't.

I'm sorry but I just can't see any shop so busy, that the few minutes saved by not flipping a ball  would make a difference.

It's not like the balls are shooting down a conveyor belt, like Lucy trying to wrap candy at the candy factory.

This hits the nail on the head.

The point is...........someone's paying THEIR OWN MONEY for a service and in return they're getting a ball out of the round.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's probably what the customer isn't looking for.

That is with regard to this one specific "service" of his shop. 

The rest, like LeftyWall was saying........I honestly don't know b/c I have no evidence other than his word....but with respect to this one particular service, that we DO have evidence on, and even though it's a low priority job for his business......if I personally found out about this (how would you not know?) it would be enough to stop doing business there.  I simply value my equipment and that shape it is in too much.  They are my tools in league, tournaments and brackets.  I need my PSO to do excellent work. 

I am VERY thankful to have a great PSO that I have a great business relationship and personal friendship with.

I know my shop uses the dam and some clear plug on a couple of combat wounds my Snap Lock received.  Out of the track but still frustrating.   >:(  :P

I digress......

If they are so busy, they need to buy a HAUS or equivalent and let it go.  The practice shown is unacceptable
