@NationalBowlingAcademy Thanks for helping us with this video. This will show you the proper way to sand a bowling ball. You can get the sanding pads here. ctdbowling.com/products/trucu...
Thank you for explaining the tru cut pads. I was worried that I would lose too much surface from 500 all the way up to the manufacturers' finished surface.
Hi Ron! I have a Vapor Zone Solid and the Out-of-the-box finish my ball had is definitely not a 500/2000 surface - it was much shinier than that and had more length and backend than the stated factory finish of 500/2000. When I used my Tru-cut 2000 pad on my Vapor Zone Solid (using an Innovative ball spinner) my ball was early and lost a lot of backend. Ultimately changing the final grit surface to 3000 (using a SiaAir pad for the final grit) more closely replicated the surface my ball had out of the box. I'm guessing the special surfacing machines that are utilized on balls just prior to shipping account for the difference between what is the stated out-of-box finish and the actual out-of-box finish on a brand new Vapor Zone Solid?
I just got the ctd three pack 2000, 1000, 500 today. I have a dare devil danger that's 1500 polished .. should i just hit it with the 2000 and call it good ? Our lanes are pretty soupy lately.
I understand that different grit number will change how your ball react , but can you sand with the same grit each time you resurface the ball or are you supposed to use a different grit number each time? Thank you.
TruCut pads cut to what the number says on the pad. If you want to know what the grit is we recommend using the pad as stated in the video. Deviations from that technique will make it hard to repeat and even harder to know what the actual grit is.
@@Ctdbowling I can confirm this. I tried 2k, then 500/2k. I used really girly arm on the 2k of the step, it did make a marginal at best difference. Definately too difficult to recreate. This engineered effect is a bonus for the CTD pads. When sanding 6 balls, cut the time down tremendously. I am going through this right now. Testing different grits on many balls. Seeing how they change on my league pattern, which does not change hardly at all. Any chance of more options on volume of cleaner containers.? The 4,8 and 128 oz, is a large step is sizes. Maybe 1 qt size or metric volume container larger than 8 ounces? It is $0.99 for a 2 oz PET spray bottle at Wally World. Which gives a smaller container for the bag, that can be refilled by the consumer from a container. 4 and 8 oz seem good for a league bowler who cleans only before bowling. That should last them a whole season. For us who sand and clean many times, these come up short. And 128 oz is a bit extreme for a single end user.
@@dobermanownerforlife3902 we are looking at offering 32oz options. They will be tested with the staff first and then rolled out as a product. You can join our staff for free at ctdbowling.com
