Everyone talks about the importance of surface, but how many of you are using the right amount of surface? Most people may hit their ball with a 5 year old 2000 grit pad that has been sitting in their bag and call it a day. I'm here to tell you that you're probably not using enough surface!

With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based from the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

I don't play with my surface nearly enough. I do re-surface my bowling balls occasionally, back to box finish, but I really need to better learn how to adjust the surface during play. Perhaps I need to spend a couple of practice sessions playing around with surface so I can get a feel how to dial in my ball reaction. This is a GREAT video! .. Thanks Nick !!!

Hey Nick, I just wanted to say thank you for your video. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I bought a new pearl ball last night, and I couldn’t get it to do anything. I was really frustrated. I used it in league a little and then threw 3 of my worst games ever after practicing. I talked to my pro shop guy, and he suggested hitting it with a 4000 pad to start. It started to get better. I then hit it with a 3000 pad, and game changer. I threw a couple 200 games, and it was strong and controllable and went through the pins hard. I watched your video this morning and it was really helpful. Thanks again.

After the 2nd game out the box, i hit my Arctic Vibe with 2000 grit, didn't notice much... until I stopped after game 4, thanked my PSO and went home, woke up the next day, and went bowling at my home center, 1st game on their house shot? 299. Guess my inner sanding demon knew something to hit that thing with 2000 after just 2 games with it. I'll add another quick sanding story real quick, my very first tournament that we planned for, my coach and I agreed to hit my reality with 500... and I still had to play dead up 8 throwing it 60%, college shots are NO JOKE.

I am more rev than speed, and my purple hammer took off. I also brought my Hazmat Hybrid down to a 1000 and I actually somewhat like how it turned out. I am still playing with it, but that is an area where I can see myself leaving my Hazmat Hybrid at. I am curious about my other two balls, which are the Nu blue and the Black widow 2.0.

Adding surface to your ball can be like a double-edged sword. This video leaves out a couple of key situations. 1. in most Leagues you only have 10 minutes of warm-ups typically with more than one player on the lane. 2. This means what he's demonstrating is completely unrealistic. Because when other players start throwing the ball it creates a little track area on the lane. 3. the biggest problem with changing surface on your bowling ball once you start competition you cannot alter the ball. If you're bowling in sanction competition* This means in games 2 and 3 when the front part of lanes go away That ball you surfaced is only good for one game. What will eventually happen is your ball will start to use a too much of its energy in the front part of Lane and deflect because there's not enough oil on the lane. I know this is a long comment but I usually leave my bowling balls out of box finish 😊

In a league situation, it’s completely realistic to touch up a ball in practice to match the conditions you’re seeing that day.

You didn’t hit the entire ball with surface you forgot to hit the area of the holes.

You struggle because you don’t come out of the thumb clean.

Just need to sand the track area , not the entire ball. Use 600 grit. That release is horrible. Coming out of the ball on the side instead of behind it. Eww. Good for chopping a rack.

I would have to disagree with something you said, you said "surface changes the entire motion of the ball." Surface does not change the motion of the ball, the core and layout are in charge of that, surface (to be clear, lower grits) allows the ball to get friction on the lane earlier, but the how the ball moves through the lane and the properties of the ball's core and how it dominates the reaction remain constant. That unique core/layout motion will just happen sooner rather than later. Now, as a 1960's style Full Roller Senior bowling on House shots, surface as you call it, meaning lower grits, is my enemy. That will guarantee the ball will die early and have no energy at the pins. Especially since I play the lanes the old way, down and in from the outside. On sport shots however, lower grits are essential to get the ball reading the lane early enough for good ball motion and margin of error. At Nationals this year in D/S I used a Carbide Tank at 500 grit playing directly up 4 board for all six games and never had to move a millimeter.

@brunsnick Ай бұрын

If that ball was high gloss polished, could you have played 4 board the same? A sanded white dot vs. A shiny white dot would be very different on the lane. While the core in performance balls does have an effect on ball motion, the surface of the ball will still dictate the majority of the ball path. The core can’t do much of anything if there is no friction.

@nordattack Ай бұрын

@@brunsnick I understand that, but the layout and core combo dictate 'how' the ball moves, it's shape, once it sees friction, not the grit of the cover. Grit just serves to increase or reduce friction with the lane allowing the ball to slow down sooner or later, but once it does slow down and start to react to the lane then the core and layout take over. So grit will never change the "entire motion of the ball."

@@brunsnick We are talking about two different things. You are talking about putting enough grit on a ball so it slows down properly, I am talking about how the ball shapes through the lane once it does slow down which is a product of the core and layout. If all you had to do was use the proper grit then we would not need layouts or cores at all in a ball to shape it, grit could do it all.

How is 1000 surface not extreme?

@Jason_P Ай бұрын

@@educatedduck6618 Because I (and many others) always have a 500 pad with me and I use it often. Anything below 500 is extreme in my book. Many balls come from the factory at 1000 or 1500. That's in no way "extreme".

@brunsnick Ай бұрын

For the given pattern 22ml it’s extreme. It’s all about the environment and bowler.

@@brunsnick It doesn't for you. I'm speed / rev matched so I can make the ball do what I want by using a lot of other techniques. I can adjust speed, hand position, etc. and make the ball do what I want most of the time. If I scuff a ball, I have to increase my normal delivery speed to get it to the break point.

@educatedduck6618 Ай бұрын

@@lockedonlaw Then you aren't surfacing it properly or at the right time lol. You can adjust your speed and hand position all you want, it's never going to give you the result of surfacing your ball. So you either are doing it incorrectly or you don't bowl on patterns that require it.

@TrevorPrinceMusic Ай бұрын

@educatedduck6618 I agree with you. I'm a matched player. But I also bowl in challenge and sport shot tournaments. Surfacing is a game changer.

@lockedonlaw Ай бұрын

@@educatedduck6618 Like Nick said, he's mostly talking to speed dominant players. I'm not one. I learned to bowl when you used one ball for strikes and spares. My point was I don't want the reaction surfacing the ball gives me. That's not to say no one wants it. I bowl on the same PBA patterns everyone else does. I can also play outside-in, something very few players today seem to be able to do.

@jasonellis6374 Ай бұрын

My question is how often should you surface the ball like once in a while or every week before leagues I recently had a ball baked and then they surfaced it for me it completely changed it brought back old memories hahaha but should I plan on doing it again soon ? It’s been a month or so lmk thanks ! Also your feet are always sideways but are your shoulder square to the pins jw ? Lol

@brunsnick Ай бұрын

Depends on the ball really, duller balls require a little more upkeep. If you like the box surface dull, then quick touch ups often won’t hurt anything. Getting the oil out every 60 games is a good idea.
