When Should I Use Surface On My Bowling Ball
In this free video, Ronald Hinkland Jr., CEO of Creating The Difference demonstrates each grit of TruCut CtDSanding Pads and how they respond on the lanes.

TruCut CtD Sanding Pads
Sanding pads are a required accessory to be competitive in bowling. They come in different grits ranging from 500 grit - 5000 grit. 500 Grit will take the most surface off a bowling ball, creating an earlier hook on the lane with less backend reaction. 5000 Grit will take the least amount of surface off a bowling ball. It will make the ball hook downlane later, allowing for a bigger backend reaction.
Where to start
If you are bowling a house shot for league, start with the 2000 grit. It’s a good place to start. If you notice the bowling ball is hooking too much, move up to 3000 grit and so on until you find your desired ball reaction. If you notice the bowling ball isn’t hooking enough, move down to 1500 grit and so on until you find your desired ball reaction.

Check out the breakpoint location downlane and side to side location of each bowling ball. The polished bowling ball hits the arrows at the 09 board and rolls to the 04 board (breakpoint) 40 feet downlane. The 500 grit bowling ball (same bowling ball used for both shots), hit the arrows at the 09 board and the breakpoint is the 08 board five feet shorter, 35 feet downlane.
Clearly, this is not where we want to be for our strike shot. For demonstration purposes, we used these shots to illustrate how each product works on the lane. It’s up to you to experiment with each of the grits and get yourself lined up. The goal is to get your ball to hit the pocket consistently while achieving the three phases of ball motion.

I love the fact you threw on the same line to really see the difference between all the grit and polish. Thank you that helped a lot and now I have a a ball or 2 that need some TLC with some sanding pads

Hallelujah, I can't stand the videos where they change 4 variables at at time and adjust everything to make sure they are only hitting strikes... THAT IS WHAT WE ALL DO AT THE LANES. Thank you for the scientific approach. I just got a brand new !Q Tournament Blue (OEM) dilled here in Germany. It is 1 day old 5 games total. It is perfectly drilled, Germany doesn't mess around 4 hours of getting it honed in for my 16mph 400rpm tweener release. Full 4 inch flare on a 4x4x2 drilling. But after that, I could not figure out how to get into a rhythm. I don't have a symmetric pearl in my bag so i figured it wouldn't be trivial but I tried fast stroking up the 10, slow cranking across 25 boards... everything. I was stumped. Going up the right, came in way to hard I would miss the 8-9-10 depending on my breakpoint. The ball caught me off guard with how hard it would hit. I would shift over to the gutter on the left and play only oil. Great movement to the skid but it would just come in soft because the pearl needs the traction for its skid/flip so I would either explode the pins or leave a 7. Still nothing consistent. Watching my self-recordings, I really do think if I add a bit of grit ~3000 or so, it would get the pearl to start it's transition from sliding a little bit earlier. There is plenty of power available. Even from the outside it could still be skidding through the pins. This video definitely has me convinced I need to get a little bit more mid-lane read so that its ready to transition once it gets to the dry part of the lane.

It’s called aggressive advertisement. From what I’ve read all his products suck accept his sanding pads. Supposedly that wax is no different than car polish just priced higher and doesn’t perform well. His cleaners are complicated windex.

I think what helped me the most was seeing the graphic as to what board you were hitting as your target board and what board it started to move on and the view from above showing how much closer to the approach the hook began as you got more and more surface on the ball was extremely helpful , thank you so much !!

I wish i watched this earlier! Newer to bowling a bit more “seriously,” and I’ve been averaging 175 with my newer ball and learning how to hook. Today my wife and I went bowling and my first game I bowled a 150, which is my new minimum expectation. Then games 2 and 3 I bowled 106 and 115…yikes! I kept trying to change my throw, and see how it would react to the lane. Most of the time, it kept hooking too early! I forgot to take out the abralon pads in my bag and try them out and see where I could get some later hook! I’ll remember this for next practice ahead of league night. I’m also aware this can’t be done once league starts. So I’ll try it in sone practice games, and then have it on hand during practice round before league night.

What if i'm a low rev player? Right now i'm using a Supra Rally which is polished at 5500 and It barely hooks for me. I average around 14-15mph but it'll hook just a little bit since I don't put much spin on the ball. Will sanding the shine off help with my low revs?

@waynehamberg9248 5 ай бұрын

It's great that you can turn that ball that much but you need to do this demo for us older folks that don't throw as fast or getting the numbers of revs on the ball. If I used a 500 grit pad will it affect my ball a few boards or am I going to move 10 to 15 boards left. Thus I want to know what grit pad I want to use. Many of us seniors are throwing between 12 and 14 mph and with maybe 1/4 the revs. Do an example of this for seniors.

Great video sir! I'm a 190 average who's wanting to get that little extra. I'm m starting to realize how important a dynamic surface is. What would you recommend for a rev dominant, low speed 12 to 13 at the pins?

@MrsSunshine75 Жыл бұрын

@tony Great question, would love some help for us low speed bowlers that the ball always hooks too much!

@igoryegin9531 10 ай бұрын

What is your average rev rate? In any case, under 13 mph will nearly always be too slow for a two-hander, so I suggest you should look into entry-level balls that hook very little. Storm Mix is a good option IMO. Although it's considered a spare ball, it's a urethane ball which means it is capable of generating a small amount of hook, but this amount might be just right for a bowler like you.

Nice video explaining each grit! However, that was some rough bowling! Its okay to demonstrate what each shot would look like on a similar line, however, it would have been nice to see how each shot from arrow/breakpoint would look like for each shot hitting the pocket if that was possible.

@couchistopdog 3 жыл бұрын

Can I assume you are sliding at the same spot? Is it the surface not allowing the ball to project as far to the left?

@hrsey71 Жыл бұрын

lower grit= more friction. more friction= earlier hook higher grit= less friction. less friction= later hook

Is this polish actually any good? Everyone says it kinda sucks and doesn’t react well and it might just be repackaged car polish. What’s your thoughts on it? Only guy I see review it is this dude who makes 10000 of the same videos of his own product to make it seem like it’s super popular.

@topgunne12 Жыл бұрын

I gotta tell you that the tru-cut isn't too great compared to a few other polishes. It's too expensive and there are other comparable automotive polishes with the same compounds in them that are much cheaper. Just be careful and take a look at what's on the shelf before applying to your balls. Same with your vehicle!
