Do those of you with these two balls maintain the 1500 grit surface? Right now I find that I have plenty of movement on the Silver Streak, and feel it might be almost too much ball at 600/800. The highest grit that I currently have is 1200. Would this surface, polished with Black Magic Plus, be a usable surface? I haven't used the Pearl much yet, but it also seems to be a ball that wouldn't work well with too much surface. Any input would be appreciated.

I have both of these balls. I tend to keep the SS at 1000 or so plus Black magic - not too much different than you. The pearl I keep shined 1500 to 2000 and it seems to work better with shine.

Happy with what you have to be happy with.

Thanks for the input guys. One other thing that I meant to ask was how often do you resurface back to a higher grit? I was thinking every 30 games or so, but would that be too many?

I had a solid and changed the cover because it was too sharp for me. I hit it with a white scotch-brite pad , light scuff w/ no polish and I like that cover prep a lot.
Balls DO wear out, however......if they are cleaned after EVERY set, practice included, they will last quite a while! You should have cleaner, towels, scotch brites, etc and a cleaning regimen that you stick to after every session with your stuff.

Hello, I just lowered my track !

I clean my equipment after every use with Ebonite Power House for reactive balls and Black Magic Rejuvenator for particles. I use my four main balls only for one out of town league and tournaments, and use older equipment for local leagues and practice. For the polished balls, I repolish about every three games. Everyone has been very helpful and this is another reason to visit BR regularly.
