Guys and Gals, I need your help......
« on: August 09, 2006, 05:29:42 AM »
Yesterday, the 34th birthday troll reared his ugly head.  My wife, being the great wife she is, totally surprised me and ordered up a Vertex 1/2 hp spinner with foot control (along with 2 dozen Nike One Black golf balls--my fave).

Now, here's where I need the help.  Where do I start?  What pads should I buy?  What polishes should I pick up?  What cleaners are out there?

I don't know if my current ball lineup will help, but here it is:

Ravage, Total Annihilation, Shock and Awe
Absolute, Blazing
One
Zr40, Au79
XCeption 5.0, GP2
Ace, XXXTreme, XXX
Super Carbide Bomb

Your help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.

Buy plenty of Scoth Brite pads, abralon, and if you need an in between grit maybe venture to plenty of sand paper. Pick up some factory finishes like Brunswicks High Gloss polish. Get some Track cleaners like Clean n' Dull. Acetone. And anything else your heart desires. That's all I can think of.

No, I just figured there would be more people jumping in on this sort of thing.

While we are talking about slip agents, which is the most slippy on the market?  What's something that is ideal for a spare ball?  My Blue Dot is starting to catch a little.

Only if you want to affect/sharpen the particles if you don't use Trizact you will make the particles stick out more. I believe in using trizact first to sharpen the spikes and then scotchbrite to make them stick out more.

Uh I'm sorry but have I missed something here? Why would he want to sand his golf balls? Oh , ok I get it, make them slicker so they'll fly farther, got it now.

Spare ball, just use car wax, buff it to a high shine.
