I was just wondering.....
Has anybody changed the surface on their Chain from the polish to maybe 500-1000 grit???
Or any other sanded or sheen surface??
What were your results and what was the difference...
I want to sand mine but I am not bowling right now before the move to Vegas so I was just curious...
Thanks beans

i cant understand why people buy strong coverstocks and polish them,and buy weak covers and sand them ,, buy the coverstock 4 the condition u need it 4
they give you a different look. its easy to understand. some people need a strong coverstock, but (like myself) anything with surface on it doenst work to well so i keep my solids polished or at a higher grit.
or for weaker stuff , you want a control ball on flippy conditions or blend out the wet dry take the surface down and bada bing bada boom, yer eatin a ham sandwich.

Have you ever tried it? It gives you a look you can't get with other equipment (much like drilling a strong ball weak or a weak ball strong). Some nights I can't carry the 10 with my dulled Dimension no matter what, but my pearl equipment is all squirting, so I'll take out my polished Cell and magically I'll have a great look. Other nights, I need to get some length but not have too much pop on the back when the backends are flying, so I'll take a weaker pearl like a Spit Fire at 1000 abralon and get the exact motion I'm looking for.

LOL....
Maybe you misunderstood my question Larry M
I know what sanded vs. shiny does and have a good idea what the Chain will do but I was curious how much smoother and earlier it really becomes. With my high tilt it still tends to squirt in any oil. I think I would like a better footprint when the track burns and the ball will read the hold better instead of creating hang...
I've drilled 30 of these balls and I even drilled a few with a big negative CG shift(negative weight) but we didn't change any surfaces. The neg weighted balls read much earlier with less squirt down lane even with the shiny surface.

. . . of course it will be great to know
. . . in advance how a particular ball
. . . will react once it is in your hands
. . . most of us don't have the luxury
. . . so we base our selection from the
. . . review others made and if it does not
. . . react as we expect them to - then we tweak

Has anyone experienced any over/under with their Chainsaw? The backend on mine is somewhat erratic.
-
I have with my chainsaw, but it has all been due to operater error.
When I throw the ball right it hits like a truck.

I have mine sanded right now, but not down as far as you are asking about. Mine is at 1500us wetsand not p-grit and it is even smoother than oob, but it is also much stronger in overall movement, and of course it starts earlier, for me by about 5 feet. I do not have near the hand Bean's does so take this for what it's worth and I hope it helps.
