deuce surface recommendation?
« on: October 21, 2003, 12:21:42 AM »
Just picked up a deuce and am going to need to resurface it, and am wondering what surfaces you guys have had success with (so I can start with it at a favorable surface).  I think it is drilled pin over and between the fingers with the CG swung out a hare.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

I know there are people out here that love and hate their deuce at certain surfaces, am just wondering what they are

I don't have a Duece, but I've several of them thrown.  I'd think 600 dull for oil or 800-1000 grit with a very light coat of polish for heavier medium conditions should be good.  Depends on how you throw it and how much oil you see regularly.

I liked mine at the factory finish of 1000 grit for medium-heavy.  Most people I see using one have it polished to some degree, though, on the same medium-heavy condition.  It really depends on your style and conditions you want to use it for.  I'd start it sanded at 800-1000 and see how you like it, and if you decide you need more length, throw some polish on it.  Hope this helps.

I was having trouble with my deuce with the factory finish and a fairly small weight hole.  (Wet-Dry overreaction on our THS.)  I had the weight hole enlarged and went to 320 grit sanded perpendicular to the track then a rubdown with storm #2 polish.  Since then it's behaving much better, and has become my benchmark ball.  It also helped when I reduced my axis rotation so it rolls  up earlier rather than jumping at the end.
