Title: Anybody tried to change OOB on Pain
Post by: dogman666 on January 08, 2007, 12:57:51 AM

Has anybody tried to change the out of box finish on the Raw Hammer Pain.  If so what kind of results did you get?

I went 4000 grit polished and won a $250 scholarship lol.

I was -94 the day before and ended up at +405

The ball gave me a lot of room and the ball was very controllable on the back. Thru 11 games including matchplay, I think that's right, I only moved 5 boards left. Again it gave me an awesome look to the pocket with alot of room to the right. It never checked up early, never burned up, and I could get the same amazing pin carry that I had when it was at 2000 grit.

I have tried this ball with many different cover grits.  I like the PAIN at each grit i've tried.  It all depends on the conditions i'm bowling on.  The PAIN is by far my favorite ball.

I polished mine. It works the best so far.
Early roll with a nice controllable backend.
I used a 200 grit abralon pad then 4000 grit abralon pad.
Then polished with Brunsiwck factory polish.
