I just got a used one in excellent condition, bowled 2 full games with it 2 weeks ago, at oob condition, my results, 9 splits, lane condition was medium, ball speed 15-16. Last week put a little brunswick polish, results, only 1 split, but not many strikes. Today when I bowl, I will try it at 2000 pad? From experience, what's been the best surface for you with the Ruckus. I like the way it hit the pocket and the sound, but I have tournaments coming up and would like to get a consistent reaction, what's the best surface?

thanks for the info, I appreciated

How was the ball reacting to make it not to your liking?

Too much back end, or too much hook overall? Not enough of each?

I liked factory surface on my ruckus. However, I also like to put a little surface under almost anything I polish. I like going 500/light polish on many of my med-heavy pieces.

2000 is a good starting point when tweaking the surface. This way you can go up or down if the 2000 doesn't suit your needs.

Looks like 1000 with polish is the best
