Title: Surface change on my TNV
Post by: jw_6281 on March 05, 2007, 10:43:57 PM

I hear a lot of you guys talking about changing the surface on your TNV to basically wake it up.  I do believe that I am going to have to do the same thing.  I was just wondering what type of change I should make.  I am farely new to  bowling so I really dont know much bowlers lingo so lets keep it simple please.  

Thanks for the help guys

  I just used a 4000 abralon pad to knock the hard gloss off. Worked perfectly.

I've used 2000 Abralon on 2 of my 3 Total NVs to create an earlier and smoother breakpoint.  I've actually experimented with 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000.

I agree with the rest, 2000-4000 abralon with no polish. The ball will still retain length with a better read.

I like 1000 and brunswick high gloss the best just another option.

I wetsanded mine to 1200 and absolutly love it. It has a strong midlane and still flips on the backend. Dont be afraid to try different surfaces with this ball till you find one you like.

I went with 1500 wetsand (no polish). Love it.

Well the guy who drills all my balls recommended that I try 600 and then polish it.  It wasn't too bad but I have only threw it for about 4 games.  And I rolled like crap.  I was just way out of time.  I am going to try it again tomorrow night.  I figure I will throw it for a couple of weeks and then try something new.
