4K Fast vs 1500 Grit Polished Finished Bowling Ball | What's the Difference in Performance?

[@jimk9290]

Ronald, your videos and your explanations are the post-graduate education program for bowling! CtD will git you a PhD (in bowling).

[@krazekilla224]

I wish you guys would make that sanding glove a purchasable product! It’s such a good idea

[@CasualGamerPlays]

Dude! You can make that same glove with using two sided velcro, meaning one side is sticky, the other side is the velcro which you would stick your sanding pad onto.

[@michellewest6804]

CTD does sell the glove $24.95 I just ordered it 12/5/22

[@krazekilla224]

@@michellewest6804 Yeah, they do now. They didn't 5 months ago.

[@richardmahaney529]

I shine my bowling balls because I only throw about 8.5 mph in a wheelchair. They get thru the heads better and still have the energy to carry the pins on the back end!

[@brandylknight]

So how would I get a 4k fast finish that my RTX2 came out of the box using the CTD pads that I purchased from you? I don’t have a spinner so I will be doing it by hand

[@richprince2818]

I am having a disconnect between the 1500 grit pad and the scan of 5000. Can this be clarified for me?

[@brandylknight]

How would you duplicate a 4K fast finish using CTD products?

[@kidkawasaki8098]

Question. Where can I get that hand glove?! That would so help me out when I use the trucut pads

[@Ctdbowling]

It will be available soon from us.

[@kidkawasaki8098]

@@Ctdbowling now I'm really excited

[@allee68]

I agree I have to use a power pad to hold on to the trucut pads.

[@smokey6965]

So I have the 4k fast on the rstx-2 and like the finish and how it finishes on the deck

[@Ctdbowling]

Excellent

[@krazytv8480]

Is that the 6500 polis plus you used?

[@mikegagliardi2301]

Can you do 6 sides?

[@olmeda2010]

Slightly different procedure than the 2000/3000/P5000D. Even though the procedure you talked about here and the older using P5000D both scan at 5500+ what is the performance difference between the two?

[@Ctdbowling]

Though they will scan the same the performance is much more backend with the process shown in the video. You actually need some lines in the ball to stop it from over skidding.

[@Philycheeze222]

If I have a ball with a factory finish of 500, 1000, 1500, polish, and the Trucut pads cut exactly what the number says on the pad, and I wanted to get that surface back, would I only need to sand it at 1500 grit, and then polish it?

[@canefan17]

correct

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

I'm thinking about getting a Storm Dark Code for my next bowling ball for my strike ball, my goal to get my first 300 game. Do I need a CTD 1500 gritt polish to go with it if I decide to get my own Dark Code?

[@coleroggentien5193]

i like mine at the polished. i just got it but once i adapted i got better results from the 1500 polished

[@seanfleming3101]

Can I do this process by hand ? Or just on a ball spinner?

[@rebootnut]

7:23. According to this, you need the special pad and a ball spinner.

[@Rokrion]

The way I did it by hand was 500, 4K then applied the polish

[@CasualGamerPlays]

That ball didn't look like 4K fast, it just looked like a ball that was sanded down to 2000. When i watched the storm video and view the ball that they applied the 4K fast sanding technique to, it still had a shine to it. The ball that you guys reviewed, was dull.

[@Squid165]

He's a snake oil salesman. unsub. nothing factual or helpful in his channel but to sell you chemicals that do nothing

[@brianmizway9324]

Sanding a solid is one thing but if I buy the rst x3 with the 4k fast, your saying 1500 grit and then polish it? I don't have a machine and will have to do this by hand. Isn't 4k fast some type of 4,000? Or is it just that 1500 grit and then polish would make it come close as possible to out of box finish? Not to mention the rst x3 is 2 parts pearl and 1 solid? I just don't want to mess this ball up by doing the wrong thing.

[@philliplagreco6453]

How would I get my RST X3 back to 4000K that it was from out of the box?

[@tphelps6610]

Hey Ronald, I’m confused about your process to get a storm bowling ball back to 1500 grit polish. Approximately six months ago you put out a video about 1500 grit polish using the Trend 2. Your steps there was 3000 CTD pad and then polish. Now, your steps are 1500 CTD pad and polish. Can you clarify which steps I/we should follow? Thanks

[@Ctdbowling]

This video is based on the latest information since we have more insight, and is the video you should follow

[@tphelps6610]

Thank you sir. Keep up the good work with your videos. I purchased your surface scanner can’t wait to receive it and experiment with getting the balls close to out box.

[@josephmarinucci9073]

Too many errant shots. Unfortunately, polishing a ball often reduces the amount of miss area on some house shots. But, the steps to recreate the Storm OOB finish is much appreciated.

[@dmpase]

What would be the result if you ONLY used the 1500 grit and skipped the polish step? Would the ball be more aggressive? (Does the polish soften the performance?) Or would the ball behave inconsistently? (Unevenness in the application of the 1500 grit would cause inconsistent performance?)

[@joshtherrien4076]

This is good stuff… wanna try and resurface my Infiniti physics… which is 4000 grit out of the box… Do I just use the 4000grit pad with no polish to get back as close to box finish? Thank I’m advance fro answering, Love the channel

[@dnyce330]

Yes, that’s how I do it. According to them, if you use their product the pad should cut to that grit. I have their products and so far they are true to their word.

[@lionmartian9046]

How long would the finish last if you do this? And would you have to do the same process to bring it back?

[@Ctdbowling]

Depending on the environment 20 to 40 games normally. Yes the process is the same to bring it back.

[@AndreJamesCuh]

can you do a video of the reverse going from polish to 4k fast

[@Ctdbowling]

Yes we can do that

[@AndreJamesCuh]

@@Ctdbowling also could u test the surface of more 4k fast balls

[@turnerjohnsonii4704]

Great video, I just got an Storm Infinite Physix, as you know the coverstock comes at 4000 Grit, what CTD pad or polish combination do I use to maintain this finish, thanks in advance for your response !!

[@Ctdbowling]

This is the pad you need. ctdbowling.com/products/5-trucut-sanding-pads-4000-grit?_pos=2&_sid=a34d23ee5&_ss=r

[@godseq3139]

is there any other facilitys like this where it shows where you ball tracks and the speed and rpm? id like to visit somthing like this but im not in KY

[@sandmandave2008]

I see you sand 4 sides of the bowling ball. Do you do this only on the finer grits? Whenever I resurfaced a deeply scratched bowling ball where I started at 180 grit, I always sanded both sides of 3 axis. Was I wasting time by doing the extra two sides or is that what SHOULD be done until you get to the finer grits?

[@hkaufman007]

Question for you. What’s the difference between 6500 & 5500 wax/polish

[@sandmandave2008]

@@hkaufman007 I think you meant to ask the KZbin video author, Ron Hickman, that question. But good luck getting an answer. It doesn't look like he answers many questions. Mine is a year old.

[@markwilliamburright8160]

Does it change the hardness?

[@Ctdbowling]

No it does not impact hardness.

[@Ezi0AuditoreDiFirenz]

so storm shot itself in the foot by switching to the 4k fast?

[@alsheps300]

No the Dark Code they threw first was sanded to 2000. They even scanned it before hand. There's no way it was 4K fast out of the box, it was sanded before they tested it.

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

Now he's battling an over/under type reactions with an even smaller margin of error with that Turtle Wax polishing process.

[@traviskirk3834]

I just do 1500/3000/p5000d trucut by hand and it's perfect.

[@shanenorthrop1969]

Why would it matter what grit you use first (1500) if you’re going to polish it to 5500 anyways? Why couldn’t you just use the polish on any ball no matter the beginning grit?

[@Xcel]

That didn't look like the 4k fast finished balls I have seen

[@frankschmidt8001]

Exactly, 4k fast according to Storm is supposed to be at 4000 grit. This measures 2000?

[@cutandrunfarms]

Why not just go to the 5000d?

[@edwinburks2042]

4K fast is not better than a bowling ball that is polished polished bowling balls response better than 4K fast( "from yours truly worldwide 741 the sandbagger in bowling"!!!).
