Considering how flexible the surface is and I'm not sure how I got interested in it originally. The stock 600 grit dull is far too early for me and the places where I can try it. 2000 grit matte/dull was much better, but 600 plus a very light polish seems best for me.

What surface do you use?

mine was reading the lanes a little early to i hit the cover with the 500 abralon because abralon is finer than the sandpaper and that completely solved me problem. So im at 500 abralon right now.

Sorry, but you are laboring under a misapprehension. 500 grit = 500 grit. It's a "STANDARD". You can use the Abralon pads for a lot longer, but the abrasive is identical with the one used in wet/dry sandpaper; that is a fact: silicon carbide. When it breaks down from use, it gets finer and finer (500 grit becomes 800 becomes 1000, grit becomes 1200 grit, becomes 1500 grit. So if you continue to use the Abralon pads, they will seem to give a finer result. Compare the "fine" one with an original and you will feel the difference.

I am bringing back an older thread, but I finally have tried the Ogre solid enough to give some better feedback.

I have tried the Ogre solid at 600, 1000, and 4000 w/ no polish. The ball is drilled 4x4 with the pin in the ring finger. For me at:

600 - the ball rolls early, bleeds alot of energy in the mid-lane. I would honestly only recommend this grit for someone who doesn't have much hand, or if you really want to use the ball on heavy oil.

1000 - ball gets thru the heads and mid lane with more energy, and produces more of a skid then strong arch back end type reaction. This surface produces an almost identical reaction to the Ogre Pearl, but is about 4-5 boards stronger.

4000 - ball sails thru the heads and gets more length, but maintains the strong arch type back end. Imho this grit gives about the same overall hook potential as the pearl Ogre, with a slightly more controllable break point.

I am really impressed with the Ogre solid so far.
