was thinking on sanding down my enriched uranium
and was wondering if anyone has done this, and if I dont like it has anyone really shined up the surface ??

the problem I'm having is that I'm stuck between 2 houses I bowl in
1st House wood lanes have trouble getting the ball to get length ball hooks to early

2nd House Brunswick Anvilane 41' ball does even wrinkle goes to long

so I need suggestions sand or polish ?? what experiences have you had with either on this ball? thanks.

You could sand it to 600 and then shine it back up.  Not sure how it would work on the drier house, but should do well on the oil.  A better suggestion would be to fine sand it and polish it for the drier house, and get say a Solid Uranium for the oily house.

I took the polish off my EU to see if it would help the reaction any. The results I got was it still slid in oil & grabbed to early in dry & would hit flat. To me it is definitely not an oil ball. I'm going to polish mine up & use it only for drier conditions when there is hopefully no carry down.

I'm a tweener whose speed is slightly dominant over my revs.  I bowl mostly in a house with wood lanes that are not in good shape but not terrible either.  The condition starts breaking down fast and the transition continues for a long time.  The oil level is what I would call medium to start with, but the heads start to burn up pretty fast.  My speed over revs style helps with that.  

I use my Enriched most of the time in this house.  It is rare that I can finish the whole night with it, but here is what I have found works best for me as far as surface prep.  I go over it with Ebonite Quicksand; a now defunct grit-containing product similar to the current Ebonite product Matte Finish.  This creates about a 1200 surface.  After that, I go over it lightly with Black Magic to get a 1200 grit polished surface.  This works great for getting the ball downlane with a late mid-lane read and powerful backend, and it enables me to use the ball longer than if it was duller, but with a more controllable motion on iffy lanes than I would get if it were shinier.  

The shot is a THS, and this ball with this prep is the best I've ever seen at forgiving errant shots to the outside and coming back to strike.  It is less forgiving of tugged shots, since it is still aggressive enough to start to overcome any hold there may be.  This is okay by me, since I miss more of my misses are to the outside than to the inside.

I am thinking seriously of getting another one of these to hang onto and drill up sometime in the future.
