So when resurfacing a bowling ball? Do you start with the 180 grit and finish with the bowling ball recommendation.

Update: After reading the comments Marlon went into a depression spiral. The shame of being outed as a hack by so many people on a public forum was too much for his ego to stand. He took to drink, and lost the shop and his home. Last we heard he was seen under the bridge with a shopping trolly containing his worldly property, ranting to a half-resurfaced ball with a face drawn on in magic marker, Hamlet style.....we pray he recovers soon....

OMG NOOO you destroyed the coverstock. this video should be titled "How NOT to Resurface a bowling ball" my friend has a ball spinner and he refurbished my white dot bowling ball and you cant tell the difference between that and a brand new one. he also filled the deep cuts and painted it! in your video the ball is full of grid lines and the reflection is stretched and blurred. It looks nothing like new. it looks like a scratched ball with polish. and you made it like an egg by shaving it.

Would you polish the ball no matter what grit you used or just wipe it down????
@bowl18207 років тому
This video should have been entitled "How NOT to resurface a bowling ball" You don't remove divots/gouges by scraping them off with a bevel knife, because your going to leave a big flat spot on the ball. Also flipping the ball is not that time consuming it adds maybe 2-3 minutes at most to the job, You flip the ball and sand the 4/6 sides of the ball to have a consistent surface and help maintain roundness. To only do 2 sides in the fashion shown is very poor procedure. Also while using consecutive grit's isn't necessarily wrong, it doesn't necessarily produce the proper final surface texture. Surface texture on modern balls is made up of peaks and valleys, which are created by using the proper grits in a specific order. So depending on the reaction or surface your looking for or if your trying to reproduce the O.O.B. (the factory Finish) of the ball, then skipping grits may be called for.
@shaunmcisaac7827 років тому
If the divots are on the track, the ball is effectively useless / unpredictable as it's going to jump around, much like if the balll is tracking over the holes - total disaster. No amount of resurface is going to fix that. Grinding out 1/8 of an inch is literally making the ball smaller - easier to strike with a beach ball than a candlepin ball. If they're not on the track, scrapping them out doesn't really matter except for static balance. It's just visual.
@bowl18206 років тому
Gouges/Divots such as seen in the video whether in the track or anywhere else are easily patched, So no need to grind a flat spot on the ball. As for ball size Ron Hickland when he was at Ebonite wrote about tests they did which showed a smaller ball actually did better. It allowed players to generate higher rev rates and offered the bowler more control.

Resurfacing like this isn’t need unless the ball had a track from being used on wooden lanes. Most balls just need the proper step to bring back the oob finish. They make epoxy and liquid sealant for the deep gouges

@alanwake52984 роки тому
You should not shave the ball,and 100 grit is too low. i would suggest beginning from 360. And when you polish you better polish 4 times in different directions so the shine wont look like a car windshield. (stretched reflection)

@yuppiehi5 років тому
You do realize (take that back, maybe you don't) that less than 20 percent of the ball will EVER touch the lane surface. There could be totally flattened parts of the bowling ball, but the lane will never touch it because it isn't a part of the track area.

@MrIzzy11B2 роки тому
Why wouldn’t you do the entire ball with each step. That has to be the dumbest method of sanding anything I’ve ever seen
@DonaldDump20246 років тому
Warning, your ball may look pretty after this procedure but it is wrong. Better to leave small gouges alone than shaving them down and creating flat spots. Also, there is a good reason for the six sided procedure to help maintain a consistent even surface on the ball. Also, there are reasonably priced services ($30-35) using automated sanders that maintain the proper finish and rounded surface. Don’t resort to this lazy man’s shortcuts.
@yuppiehi5 років тому
Unless those deep gouges are actually on the track area of the ball surface, flat spots are not going to matter. As for those automated sanders, I live in Hawaii and there are none of those around. Your location basically determines the options you have.

Technically "yes." But will it make any meaningful difference in the weight? No. You remove more mass drilling the ball than resurfacing EVER will take off. Note once the serial # is gone the ball isn't legal anymore.

@thunderfan776 років тому
B. Reece - Cleaning the ball doesn't replenish the ball's surface. It just removes the trapped oil and restores coverstock tackiness. With each shot down the lane, the ball's microscopic peaks slowly wear down due to friction. Wood or synthetic lanes, it doesn't matter. The coverstock's peaks and valleys determine how much oil is absorbed and how aggressive the ball reacts down lane. Get a 1500 grit polished ball brand new out of the box and bowl 60 games with it, making sure to clean it after every three games using any approved cleaner. Over time, the tracked surface of that same ball will change to about an 800 grit matte finish. The appearance and reaction of that ball will not be the same at game 60 as it was at game one. This is why ball manufacturers recommend a complete resurface every 50-60 games as part of regular maintenance. Even some manufacturers, like Storm, recommend "refreshing" the surface with a light resurface about every 30 games to help maintain the ball's consistency between each deep resurface. Keeping the ball clean is a good start, but resurfacing is necessary to maintain its reaction. And furthermore, Marlon's resurfacing technique is wrong. At the very least he should cover the entire ball with the same grit, then rotate the ball perpendicular, then apply the next grit up to cut against the grain and remove the lines of the previous grit. Innovative Bowling's two part UKposts video explains this in great detail.

@fiddlefaddle17 років тому
A certified bowling shop would never resurface a ball like this. You don't use sandpaper, you start with abralon pads 180,360,500,etc going to the surface that you want and you do this on both sides and then go to the next pad to both sides and so on. You don't finish one side completely and then do the other side. As bowl1820 stated, you just left a flat spot where that gouge was. I would love to see that ball that you finish go down the lane. Pathetic.
