I assume you have a spinner? You can dull a ball by hand but you really need a spinner for a resurfacing.

Depending on what you want to do - take something back to factory or completely resurface a ball that has heavy wear the procedure might be slightly different. Sometimes the manufacturer provides the surface instructions.

If the ball has heavy wear you can start with a 180 or 360 pad. If not 500 is a good starting point. Fully wet the pad and hit all 6 sides of the ball for 20-30 seconds each. Then go up the available pads (or not depending on what you want to do) doing all 6 sides of the ball each time. A good baseline might be 360-500-1000-2000-4000 obviously skipping the higher pads if you plan on leaving the surface dull.

Spinner is great but doing it by hand for adjusting surface works fine. Likely you used a grit that maybe not what you want in reaction. Earlier and smoother overall shape. Usually most people see that as the ball doesn't hook.


What grits did you use that you are not liking currently? What were you wanting for the ball reaction?
