robo cover stock Question
« on: December 16, 2005, 10:17:54 AM »
The web site says 800 grit.  The spec. sheet that came with my ball says 1500 grit.  Are 2 different finishes being shipped??

i don't know if 2 different finishes are being shipped, mine appears much closer to 1500 than it does 800.

I hope this helps,

I'm thinking that the Robo at 800 grit dull might be as strong as the Track web sight indicates.  I don't see any way for this ball-at 1500 grit- to be stronger in oil than the GP2.  I wonder if anyone has taken their Robo to 800? and at 800 how does it compare to the GP2 or perhaps the Trifecta.

only bowling,

If I were on a flood I would still want the GP2 in my hands.....simply because it starts reading the lane sooner. In my review of the Robo I said that its total hook is more than the GP2's.......that is primarily because of how much backend the Robo has when it encounters friction. On a flood....the GP2 is still the ball of choice in my opinion.

I asked Track about this myself, and was told the drill sheet is incorrect and the 800 grit is correct about a month ago when the Fast Track samples came out.

Hi Clint -  Thanks for getting this cleared up for me.  I really felt like the cover was too smooth to be 800.

Thanks again Ex for responding, I too think that a really heavy pattern needs a heavy loaded GP2.  I don't have one yet...but I plan to have one soon.
