2:12 as a guy that is constantly massaging my grand parents this is an excellent reference. I encourage anyone that isn’t currently massaging their grandparents to start massaging them asap! It raised my avg to 215 in less than a month!

There ya go!

Thank you SO much for making this video! I just recently got a ball that I haven't been meshing with at my weekly league, so I have been trying new things during practice. I was about to give up on the ball when I found your videos about changing surfaces. I was really hesitant because I never adjusted the surface of a bowling ball before. This video makes it sound super simple and like something I could do during some free time. I will indeed be ordering some grit pads and give it a go. Thanks again!

[@LuisNapoles]

Oh man I am soooo glad this helped you! Its a super simple process and once you get it you will love to mess with surfaces!

[@nerahwolena8686]

@@LuisNapoles I do have a few questions that I am hoping you can help me with regarding the surfacing of a ball. The new ball I had gotten is a 5500 polish surface. I have a ball that is a 5000 polish surface that gives me the back-end reaction I am looking for. My questions are how do I properly adjust the surface and how do I maintain it? Would I have to continuously sand and repolish the ball after every bowling session?

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

@@nerahwolena8686 may I ask what company pads you are using

[@nerahwolena8686]

@@thefriendlyteenager726 I have been using the truecut pads

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

@@nerahwolena8686 To answer your first question, you would first use 3000 grit, then the p5000d pad. Your second question regarding the upkeep on the polish and surface, you wouldn’t want to sand your ball every game because you’d just be wasting your money on pads and degrading your ball. I recommend that you resurface the ball every six to nine games.

[@philliplagreco6453]

Hey Luis, I just found this video and since watching Ronald the ceo of this pads, I was not loving my nova until I used the 2000 pad on it! And it made such difference in the ball, thanks for all your videos on bowling,

[@LuisNapoles]

You’re welcome

[@kirtmorose]

I would like to see the difference on the lanes between 1500 polish and 1500 grit sanded. It would be interesting to see how different the motion is.

[@LuisNapoles]

The polished one would be way longer and create way more shape

[@tphelps6610]

Good info Lou. You should do a video of how to bring the bowling ball back to out of box surface.

[@Frostecy]

Yes please do! I'm scared of surfacing my bowling ball and not liking it 😢

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I am gonna have to do that!

[@LuisNapoles]

Don't be afraid! A ball spinner and 5 minutes and your ball is back to box!

[@Frostecy]

@@LuisNapoles Thanks man!

[@tphelps6610]

Thanks Lou. I would suggest that you specify what speed ball spinner you are using if it’s not a two speed. The speed of the spinner makes a difference.

[@user-yq1ys6zj7x]

Hello, I picked up a used Track Stealth recently and noticed I don’t have the action advertised. My rev rate is low, wondering if I could benefit from going to 2000 matte instead of 1500 matte. Thoughts?

[@ObjectiveEthics]

Thank you once again. Your videos are very well done. This particular video helped me to realize that I should consider if I should do this after each league? I think my league goes for 14 weeks...ish? I do use a ball cleaner after I get done each night. Something I was also wondering is if waiting 30 minutes or less to clean the ball is a problem? Does the oil soak in too deep for the ball cleaner to effectively extract any significant amount of oil?

[@LuisNapoles]

I would do it right after bowling

[@Jpnhobi]

Hey Luis, I have a 900 zen. And i would like to knock the shine off. its 1500 grit polish. Would i use the 1500 grit or something like 5000 grit to just knock shine off?

[@LuisNapoles]

I would do 1000 then whatever else on top of that

[@brianfong3954]

I need a new pair of bowling shoes.. can you review some and tell me about the changeable pads.

[@LuisNapoles]

Look for that coming soon!

[@davidchamberlain5146]

Until Lou's review comes out you might consider researching 3G. I bought a pair for 190.00 that comes with extra slide soles and interchangeable slide shoe heels. I was really considering the Dexter 9's (about the same price point) but u have to purchase the interchangeable soles and heels separately. Advantage of the Dexter pair I was considering is that the push away heels and soles are also interchangeable, unlike the 3G that has fixed soles and heels on the push away shoe. I'm happy with the 3G and not having to purchase extra soles and heels separately which can get expensive.

[@punxnotdead3873]

Great video! I want to take my oob zen to soild maybe 2 or 3k. Lanes here heavy oil . What step should I take . From oob polish do I need to slowy step the pads to rid of the polish surface rather than just hitting it with 1500 rite away. Maybe 1k, 1500, 2k.

[@LuisNapoles]

If it has polish on it I would say use a really wet 500 pad to make sure you get the polish off and go 500,1000 2000 all with wet pads

[@punxnotdead3873]

@@LuisNapoles maybe I dont need the polish removed I Capaldi just hit it with 1500 like ur video clean it up nice thanks for all ur help . You videos helped my bowling team!

[@stevothegreat]

Nice video, I have ebinite cyclone ball that i had a lot of good games the last few years , but this year i am struggling with the same ball, any advice on what pad grid should i try , thank you.

[@LuisNapoles]

I always recommend a 2000 to start. Thats a good mid point of the pads

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

Try the factory finish number

[@BigJim5754]

@Luis ...great video but could have been a lot better to show some before and after shots on the lane...just even 5 like you do in your ball review vids...still gave it a thumbs up for the great commentary! Thanks.

[@LuisNapoles]

I do that in all of my surface videos showing before and after. This was more of a “how to” video

[@lt1941]

What would you recommend for rotogrip hyped?

Luis are you also going 2000 solid or 2000 & putting polish on that or both? Thank you

[@LuisNapoles]

def no polish

[@kevinbarrett1996]

I just got a Hyroad that came out of the box at 4k fast. So far I love the ball reaction! What is the recommended use until I need to resurface it?

[@LuisNapoles]

just once you see it get toooo long and doesnt shape like it did before

[@Harley-bq2sx]

I have a white widow I need it to go long and hook on backend. I'm low Rev rate and ball speed. It hook on me early. I can't control it. It needs polished I think?

[@LuisNapoles]

If you need length and backbend then you need polish for sure

[@nova_746]

I've seen other video's that say the white and lighter colored balls read the lanes early, whereas the darker colored balls will go longer. Luis, is that what you have noticed?

[@Shawizzlegaming]

I have a Eurothane pearl hammer(2000 finish out the box) It is hooking alittle early for me. If i hit the ball with a 3000 or higher pad would i get more length ?

[@LuisNapoles]

yup!

[@PixleFusionX]

I throw the ball down the right side where it goes pretty straight and then hits the pocket near the end. So I am assuming I want polished finished. My ball seems like it’s dead lately and I haven’t touched the surface of it for over a year. What pad should I buy so it will go long straight down the right and then cut to the pocket. My footing is left of center and ball release is on the far right arrow. Please help. My ball is a storm with reactive pearl 2000 abralon polish finish when it was new. But I might not want the same for what i mentioned above

[@LuisNapoles]

Polish or surface is just gonna depend on how much oil is on the lanes

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

You might want a polished surface, maybe try 5500. Remember the higher the number the later the ball will hook

[@GeeSpell]

How many uses should I expect to get out of a sanding pad?

[@LuisNapoles]

In my experiences if the pad is wet I can get like 10-12 uses. Dry like 5

[@GeeSpell]

@@LuisNapoles Gotcha, I hadn’t been using them wet and felt like they lost their teeth pretty quick. I’ll try spraying the pad and ball a bit before use

[@tylergotberg4571]

Hey Luis, what is your recommendation on a hybrid? I'm not necessarily looking to sand it down and lose the polish on it. I'd like to get lane polish off it though and get it closer to out of box. I hope that makes sense, im fairly new to all this. Thank you!

[@LuisNapoles]

Don’t worry so much about Solid pearl or hybrid. Look more at the shape you’re looking for!

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

@Tyler Gotberg just get your factory finish information off the box and sand it according to that number if your not sure contact your bowling ball manufacturer

[@Jovisonify]

So I got a hustle wine. The OOB finish is the 4K fast. It is way to snappy for me in the backend. Brooklyns all day. Any recommendations on what I should change it to? I’m a 2 handed bowler.

[@LuisNapoles]

Add some surface! Like maybe 2000

[@Jovisonify]

@@LuisNapoles thanks I’ll give it a try

[@davidchamberlain5146]

Obviously surface is a major component in ball motion and something you adjust. Do you own a ball detox device or how often do you detox or recommend detoxing your ball?

[@LuisNapoles]

I don’t own a detox and have never done one

[@thefriendlyteenager726]

I think maybe once a year? It depends on the cleaner you use. I think you should try products from creating the difference.

[@mattbigchiefbradley1739]

Mine is 2000 Because it puts the right amount of surface on the bowling ball that I need and I love it my balls read the lines a lot more I recommend it

[@LuisNapoles]

2000 is a great surface!

[@rogan5319]

I bet you’re the favorite grandkid

[@peterthebowler]

I am 2000 grit too. I go down 1000 first, then 2000 so it'll last longer.

I like that!

Drier lanes 4000 on spinner; otherwise 2000 by hand

Not suppose to use that wow factor ball cleaner on ctd trucut sanding pad. They created trucut conditioner to be used for surfacing & extend life on sanding pad. Future reference that wow factor ball cleaner is use for power pads cleaning bowling ball.
