so who has altered the box surface on the trap and how do you like it?

ive tried mine at: box finish, 2000 abralon, 2000 abralon with ebonite factory finish polish. and none of these match up well with me. im getting a very over under reaction with this ball. i have it drilled stacked with the pin next to and a little higher than my ring finger.

im a power tweener with 16-17 mph ball speed and medium rev rate. my pap is 5 5/8 by 0.

i love my plague drilled similar. its box finish with a light coat of ebonite factory finish polish to get it thru the heads a little cleaner.
i also drilled a swagga and midnight vibe with no issues with over under.

I'm some what a power tweener/cranker w/ similiar ball speed and I would suggest trying to slap 1000 grit abralon on it. Hopefully and I would think that would be the ticket. Good Luck and good bowling!

I have mine at 500/2000 abralon and then lightly polished with factory finish. A lot better than OOB and reads the lane a little earlier

I've seen good results with people using 1000 abralon. Really got it dialed in with a great reaction with that. Mine is still OOB surface and love it.

I love mine with 1000 and a light polish, I would suggest doing that to it

I too, have hit my Trap with a fresh 1000 pad and put the FF polish on it.
Now this ball is money for the later leagues - does not squirt anymore when moving in the oil line. This should do the trick that you are looking to get out of this ball.

i thought a 1000 with factory finish polish was box finish?

Well all depends on the pads at the factory... I tried it at the box surface and the ball was too squirty for me, but then I hit it with a fresh 1000 pad (along the track & then against the track) and put FF polish on it, the ball rolls more now in the mids & strong continuation in the backends.

If you sand against the track, it actually helps the ball read a little earlier than going along the track area. This works for me!

1500 Grit Sia Air works great on thios ball ! Put that surface on my brothers ball who is about 17-18 mph heavy roller and above average revs.
