Hot Off the Press - How does bowling ball surface affect ball motion? (Surface Part 5 of 6)

[@wesleydye3627]

Would like to see the Specto data for all the pads. Specifically how much sooner did the ball Reed, breakpoint distance, with each pad

I get surface adjustments for a dull ball, but what do you do when you are using a shiny ball and may not have enough time to both a surface adjustment AND polish the ball back up?

[@kevinrussell5099]

A lot of surface adjustment that you don't have time to do during warm up time at a tournament or league, plus you're not allowed to make surface changes once you start.

Lets start with wrong ball for that oil pattern

This video was not about league, not about wrong ball, but about how surface affects motion. They provided a good example.

What you are saying is true however what is the point of knowing about resurfacing the ball if you are not going to use it?

@@terrirobinson3876 Why would you not use surface to assist in finding the correct ball motion? I use this method for league all the time. If they put out a fairly consistent shot for your league and you need your ball to either react sooner or later you can make the adjustment. Obviously not during actual league play but prior to the following week you can adjust the surface if actually know what it is at. This is why the first thing you should do, or have your pro shop do, is change your surface to a repeatable number because it is not usually possible to get at back to the factory condition. So if you like the reaction at 3000 and see after some games it is not quite the same you can have it put back to that number.
