The New Standard
« on: October 01, 2009, 06:42:03 PM »
Drilled my new standard. PIN in ring finger, CG on 5pm.
I''m impressed, this is BALL!!! Tried on 38ft USBC Women 2009 19.92ml pattern. I could play from deep inside and the ball was sliding easy and recovered smoothly and poweful. Carrydown was not the problem.
Actually too strong for 38ft. (C300 Messenger was the right ball)
Cannot wait to try on heavy oil.
p.s.
What''''s the OOB finish of this ball?

Actual finish is 800 grit US sheen. The "Sheen" part is the hardest to do, using their methods, mostly because of the industrial diamonds that they use as the particles. But the goods news is that mostly no matter what you use to sand it, the diamonds will stay at 800 grit US (Scotch-Brite light grey pad) and you just have to get the resin back to that surface.

Here's their method:
- sand to 800 grit US/CAMI (final coat can be light grey nylon pad)
- polish to a super high gloss shine, using their Factory Finish polish (important to do that because it's a non-abrasive polish).
- then go over that shine with a very used light grey nylon pad by hand.

The result should look you can't tell whether it's polished or dull. AT different angles it should appear to be first one then the other.You can see some shine through the dullness.

The above process is tedious and time consuming, as well as beign very tricky. For the most part, you probably won't succeed the first time you try it.
 
Now, as an alternative, I have a found a much easier way to do get there: Valentino's Resurrection. It's a fluid intended to refresh the surface of balls, clean then and remove some degree of embedded oil and leaves them ... guess where? ... at 800 grit US. The even better part is that when you use it on a spinner, it leaves a very light shine. This winds up being almost exactly Lanemasters' "800 grit sheen" finish.

Personally I've found this the THE easiest way to get Lanemasters Diamond and Carbon based particle balls to that magic 800/1000 grit sheen finish.

Fender,

I still have and use my original New Standard from 2005. Its oil range is medium to medium-heavy oil, depending on your revs, ball speed and drilling. It still has the widest pocket for flush hits of any ball I have ever used.

It has a light load of diamond particle. They're actually industrial diamond dust.
