arson low flare
« on: January 29, 2013, 10:28:25 PM »
Man - is this a great piece
where have you been...........

very even rolling, smooth arcing piece
extremely predictable.
Nice move downlane, depends on pattern on how much this is

I will take the underlying grit from factory 500 + polish to 2000-3000 and then polish
just a tiny bit much on the old dry THS wood lanes
mine is a 50x4.5x30 which is pin over my ring finger

i can see another one drilled pin down in my future, especially for the sport conditions.
awesome piece where no doubt i can move out when everyone else is moving in

the factory finish is actually 500 + clean and sheen which is different than the factory finish polish. I think it is like the old clean and dull. The factory finish polish will give you a slightly differnt look

Sorry, but Clean and Sheen is nothing at all like Clean and Dull, which is simply a cleaner.
Clean and Sheen is a compound meant to smooth out very rough sanded area (360 - 500 grit)  from routing a plug down to the surface, to about 1000 grit and leaves a shine. Basically the result is 1000 grit polished.

If you sanded a ball to 1000 grit and then applied Factory Finish polish, it would be close to the Clean and Sheen finish but not exactly the same.

I stand corrected. it is a 1500 grit polish. but the point being it is not factory finish polish

First night on the team NATS pattern
the Arson Low flare is going to be very popular for this tournament
should sell a ton of them

perfect combination of even rolling and predictable motion off the end of the pattern.
had it at 2000 dull, will try it with the clean and sheen over that next week.
mine is pin in finger, i will drill another one pin down and a little longer pin for another option on these kind of patterns

Hammer really has a winner with this ball. It was somewhat overdue to have this type of piece in the lineup, but with the success of the IQ Tours and now the Arson Low Flare, I think we'll start seeing more of these types of pieces from other ball companies. Good job, Hammer!
