Hello bowling Family.
I need to know what grit to use to make my Red Legend Pearl more aggressive. It is drilled to be long and strong. pin up in the middle of the fingers. Thank you for your time.

isn't that oob specs 500/1000? I am new to this.

Svstar34, he's probably looking for both, to pick up a little sooner while still maintaining that backend flip its known for.

500 + light polish is what I would try 1st
Powerhouse has a Clean n sheen polish that is on a few pieces, its a Matte polish that might do the trick for you as well
there can be a bit of trial and error when trying to dial in a "look" for you at a certain center

Will be a completely different look if you go that dull

I don't want to hijack the thread, but this may be the same question... When you dial in the look you want, how long should it last? I've heard everywhere from 3-6, 9-12 and 15-20... My Curse, which has the exact same issue/desire that DJ is looking for (and I'll be trying this solution) is 500/2000+polish, but only keeps the look for 1 game.. That can't be right...

Yes, but let me clarify. I love the Curse, it's a ball I can put in my hand and know it's going to come back, so I'm still a big fan. BUT, after 15-20 games I decided I had to tweak the cover and make sure I could get it back to OOB. So far, it's not where I want it. The ball OOB was the closest thing I've had to a strong flip, what a punch at the end! Once I tweaked the cover it went to a strong smooth reaction. I need the back end punch. Now, to be fair, I've NEVER gotten a ball back close to the original reaction after I start screwing with the cover. I'm death to cover prep. This one, I've come close, getting it for 1 game, then it died out. Is that cover related or just demonstrative of me not yet finding the real solution? I don't honestly know. I keep seeing people say refresh every 3-6, 9-12, and I haven't gotten there yet. I keep trying though.
