Nah, I'm still gonna do it, just wanted to make sure I did it right.  Might be difficult to do, but some benefit is better than no benefit.  Even if I just explain the concept and make sure I say that everyone will have to adjust it to fit their situation, from my experience in a pro shop, if people don't like the ball as is, they just say it sucks and get rid of it before ever adjusting surface or adding a hole or trying anything.  If nothing else this helps me cover more bases.

I hope I didn't poopoo on the idea.  I love the idea of a video and anything is better than nothing even if it is just for you on whatever shot you use.  You have the gift of gab and I feel you could give a well thought out explanation of the theories to reach a wide audience.

Like let keyboard pounders like myself deter you from producing something you feel your constituents would find value in.

Sure everyone knows but its also amazing how fast balls spike to 3000 to 4000 grit regardless of initial surface grit (often in as little as 3 games, which is why trying to maintain 2000 grit and less surface without a spinner is blister filled insanity).  I tend to keep a lot of my stuff around 3000 (with or without polish) both because I have a Trizact pad that will last forever at that grit and to reduce amount of surface work I need to do (exception for tournaments of course).  That said I do find myself using the ass end off my Maroon Scotch Brite pads (work great with my spinner as well) as they last forever and correspond roughly to 500 grit abralon.  I tend to use them as a base for my 20 game light resurfaces and also to keep my urethane and psuedo urethane balls near factory grit (they leave lines but actually prefer that to see how the surface is doing easily).   Mostly with my arsenal my go to balls are all either high grit and or polished (spare, light oil, or pearls for transition) or low grit urethane like (THS).  Only ball I keep near the middle is a nEat psuedo factory finish on my Stealth Bomber oiler which I rarely use.

Luke how do you feel about sanding pearls?  I have a no rules pearl and dare devil trick. Right now, my NRP is just a bit stronger than the DDT, maybe 3-5 boards, plus a different shape. In order to cover more, I was considering polishing the DDT and maybe hitting the NRP with 2000 grit. Both are currently at OOB

Sanding a pearl might be one of the best things ever. Most pearls I've kept with surface are monsters.

Something about those additives work wonders with surface

Charlest,  as usual, you nailed it buddy...

There are a lot of videos out about surface changes, but I had a different wrinkle in mind I suppose.  Was going to try to be more common sense with it, some videos get so produced that they don't really get the point across or they assume everyone has a ton of bowling knowledge, or you end up with more questions at the end of the video than answers.  So yes, was looking to clarify/expand, what have you, etc. 

Yes please. I would love something like that to show my bowling buddies. Easier to grasp without all the technical bowling jargon most don't truly grasp unless you're really into this kind of stuff.

It's hard to convince the more casual (yet still wanting to be competitive) bowlers about the importance of surface and I don't think the overproduced videos like you mentioned get the job done. They're just too much.
