Motiv Surfaces question... Please HELP!
« on: March 14, 2015, 12:12:57 AM »
I am so confused with the Motiv factory finish guide. i.e: If I have a Covert Revolt at 3K and want to take it back to OOB which is 4000 Grit Laser Scan Sanded (¿?) What should I do? Can some one translate me the Motiv terms into Abralon or Siaair pads?

Also one more question, lets say I have a Venom Shock at 3K and I want to add some surface and put it at 2K, what should I do? Do I just take the 2K pad and do the 6 sides of the ball and thats it? Or do I need to go all the way 500/1000/2000 in order to put it at 2K? I just got a spinner and I don't really know what to do. I am confused between adding surface or polishing a ball and a full resurface. The instructions in the Motiv site are for full resurface, right? Or what if I have a Sting at 3K with polish and want to add surface and put it 1K with polish!? It is so complicated!

 I also read about wetting the pads before using them, what's the difference between wetting them or not?

So basically I don't know what and how to do it. Any kind soul in here that would like to help me?

Thanks in advance!

Noted! I will have to have a log so I can take notes of how many games I bowled with each ball. The more deeper I go into this sport, the more complicated it is! lol but at the same time every time gets more and more exciting! Next time please give me your Paypal account because I guess you will start to charge me for the advice lol thanks again chariest!

Never necessary. I learned and pass on what I can to help others learn. That is the purpose of discussion groups like this, in my opinion. To learn and to share. Without those, we are just "islands in the sea".

I had the good fortune to meet Jeff at a PBA Regional Tournament in New Jersey last year. He is as pleasant in person as he is on this forum.
