Started changing ball surface because of Luis. He actually had a similar video years ago. My favorite finish is 2000. It works for me. Out of the box will stop working. It’s happened to me with just about every ball I’ve purchased.

Another great video. Really appreciate the “how to” series. I started hand sanding mine a couple of months ago to experiment with different finishes. I’ve found that 3000 & 4000 tend to work best on the equipment I have for the wood lanes I bowl on. I was a little nervous the first time I sanded a ball though, but I figured that if it didn’t turn out well that I would just take it to my PSO and ask them to fix it. Turns out there is nothing to be afraid of. Hand sanding, and even had polishing, is not difficult at all. Now I touch up the surfaces after a 2-3 weeks to keep them where I like them.

You can just let the ball "lane shine" I believe a sanded ball grit will shine back down to about 4000 grit on its own after 15-20 games even if you use 2000 on it.

Phaze II with 3000 and a game of lane shine is perfect for me.

@t.hargrove3843 4 ай бұрын

Basically same for my Phase II, except I do a light 2000 dry with a Tru-Cut pad, then get a little lane shine on it and it's money $$$.

I really like using Storm’s React Skuff. I use Luke Rosdahl’s method of 1000 then Skuff for a 3000ish finish. It’s my go to finish for sanded balls. And hitting it with some Skuff by hand every dozen or so games brings it back nicely.

Luis how are you? Good video but here’s my question since you have that big of an arsenal I thought you would throw the balls like the summit itself because that’s a solid that’s a little bit more dull. Why would you turn pearl into a summit and also didn’t you do the opposite when you used to have the supernova when you did those videos. Are you planning to do another video this time going the opposite way from dull to polish? Also, have you done videos already about how to take care of your bowling balls in general and how to make them last long as possible and when’s the time to replace them?

Nice video Luis! I JUST got my ball spinners from DH Labs in the mail. Pretty exciting. I look forward to using them to clean the balls after league next week. I only touch up the surfaces after about 12-15 games for league... more often when I have a tournament.

When I change surface by hand with ball on a cup my rotation sequence is: Holes Up, Holes to side, holes to bottom. I sand the side of the ball 6 times and make a tiny turn then do 6 more and so on until the ball has rotated all the way around like a clock, then I flip the holes to the side and repeat, then flip the holes to the bottom and repeat. This assures a uniform finish on the ball.

Urethane is 500/1000 depending on house shot or sport shot. Debating on trying 500 on my tour dynamax. Most of my main are 2-3k depending on pattern. Also speed dominant bowler. I do keep my zen and revenant both OoB polished for something clean.

Lou!!! Great video! I just got the Summit Peak to pair with my Phaze 2. And I still have it as out of box and I’m not liking it so far. My league mates told me to adjust the surface on it but I haven’t yet. Can we get another video with you throwing this newly surfaced peak and against the Phaze 2. I’d like to see how they stack up against each other and can you have your Chris throw them with you as well. I like when you feature him as well as I’m a two handed high speed high rev player and Chris’s ball motion is more similar to mine. Thanks for all of your great content I look forward to more. Peace and blessings Lou!!

Thank you for the tutorial.. I usually do this at pro shop, but good information. I tend to keep my stuff at 3 or 4 thousand.

Excellent video Luis! .. I just happen to be taking a break from resurfacing some balls on my ball spinner, back to "box" finish again. Every 2 or 3 weeks I resurface the balls I have used most during that time and bring them back to the factory finish. I like to do this so that when I change surface while bowling I know where I am starting from. It keeps things consistent, especially if I have changed surface a lot or have simply bowled with a particular ball a lot (lane shine). I do this on my ball spinner and also do a little detoxification on them (minor detox really) and get a bit of the oil out of them. This helps a lot in keeping my bowling balls predictable and also over time really learning how different surfaces work on the different balls so that during league or tournaments, if I need to change surface before using a ball for a game, I know what it is going to react like on the lanes and I know what kind of surface to change to, sometimes smoother, sometimes rougher. There's really a lot to this if you dig down into it all. You might want to remind your audience that you may not always want to roughen the surface, but may actually need to polish the surface a bit. I don't often seen people mentioning this in their videos about bowling ball surface, and it does occur sometimes (not as often, but sometimes) that I need to actually polish the surface a bit more than what it currently is to get it to carry down lane further, especially as the lanes are transitioning. Just a thought.

Good morning Luis Napoles

@TheOutlawRaider 4 ай бұрын

Sweet spot for the core of my arsenal is 3000. I do keep my strongest ball around 2000-3000, and have a couple at 4000-polished.

Have been hesitant to do this, but after watching this, I did exactly what you suggested, and it turned out amazing.

im glad! Changing the surface is a HUGE part of bowling!

Is the pad similar to wet sand paper sheets?

@emerald3331 4 ай бұрын

I usually use a 500 -1500 pad; any higher I don't see much of a difference on a asym ball and a higher number pad on a sym ball. I have mixed results on a pearl; it seems to get some inconsistencies on how it reads the lane especially on a burned up pattern.

@christopherkulig 4 ай бұрын

What’s the difference between doing 1k/3k on the box surface vs removing the polish first with a cleaner/solution and then using the abralon pads? Is there a “better” way?

@jimrobertson1617 4 ай бұрын

Luis, how many times do you use a pad before you toss it?

"It's a sphere so there's unlimited quadrants" Luis, I believe you'll find that there can only ever be 4 QUADrants, no matter the shape.

There’s no corners, therefore unlimited. Duh… 😅

I was thinking about changing the surface on my sublime to 3000 but was afraid I would mess it up

It works so much better for me with 3000. I kept leaving 9 pins with it polished then hit it with surface. It’s so much better now.

Good "how to" video. Highly recommend giving the Tru-Cut pads a try. For me, they are way better than Sia-Air or Abralon pads, and last quite a bit longer.
