surface prep on super carbide bomb
« on: January 10, 2004, 08:07:34 AM »
Last Tuesday night on the league I bowl in nothing was moving, not even my scb.  Of course throwing the ball 25mph didn't help much.  I took the ball to my spinner, took the surface down to 400 with paper, and went out Weds. night to see the results.  Normally I was getting about 4 more boards out of this ball versus my Black Cherry Bomb.  After the resurface I could not keep the scb on the lane.  Black Cherry Bomb I had no problem keeping on the lane.  My question is this.  Why do many people prefer to resurface particle balls using scotch-brite, or the Brunswick system versus paper.  I understand that particles could be cut down using paper however, I have seen a distinct advantage of using sandpaper with certain particle balls, versus using scotch-brite pads (all 3).  Any thoughts or explanations would be appreciated.

Why do people not listen to manufacturers
suggestions and resurface only with what they
suggest. Put 35 micron on the SCB. and it will roll great.
I have tried sandpaper and scotchbrite and had to do a complete
resurface with Trizact to get the reaction back. In essence
you are killing the purpose of the particles in the euipment
if you are not following the recommendations of the manufactur of
choice. Brunswick/lane #1=Trizact. Storm=scotchbrite. I think
Roto you can use anything and be ok at least that is what
mustang guy said when I asked about a pearl assault.
I don't know about Columbia as I have not used their
die after 20 games particles same with track. I have no knowledge
of other companies as I have not used them.
