If you were to want to get the Attention Star back to factory finish would you go 1500 polish. If so what brand of polish? I personally use CTD’s polish. Storm likes to say Reacta Gloss finish but that doesn’t tell us what’s underneath the polish 🤷♂️

@@shanenorthrop1969 500-1000 then you can ReactaGloss or light 1500 and then the polish. What to remember is that the oil is still in the cover. So resurfacing will never get it back to exact original, just make sure you always clean it and take care of it after each time you use it to ensure its longevity.

I'm a senior league bowler and have the Attention Star. I've been struggling with it during open bowling, so much so that I don't use it for league. Not sure if it's me, lane conditions or something else. It either hooks too much or not enough. I finally made the decision to knock the Recta Gloss shine off with a 3000 pad and it made a huge improvement. It seems smoother, much more forgiving and consistent. This was my first time adjusting a ball's surface. What's frustrating for me is that I don't fully understand why the 3000 pad made an improvement or what it means to me and my game/style. Thoughts?

For me the attention star I use on sport patterns not house shot. Bit but by adding surface the ball will hook sooner on the lane and roll out, so it will look smoother not sharper
@ScottAndersonBowling2 күн бұрын
@@BigB_62 the shinier a ball, the more violent of a reaction you’re going to get. The shiny surface delays the use of energy until later down the lane where many of the inconsistencies you speak of come into play. By adding surface, the ball is reading earlier and not waiting as long to utilize that energy, giving you a more consistent reaction. I actually have a video from a few weeks ago showing the difference in surface changes on the Attention Star!

I’ve been eyeing the RIP for a transition ball from the Optimum. But since I’ve increased my rev rate this summer, I’m not sure if the RIP is a good move and maybe wait for the Optimum Pearl. Also have been looking at the Hitter Pearl, but I’m not sure if I’m understanding rev rate’s impact on roll correctly. I know when I throw the Hustle Wine now, it goes longer than before when my rev rate was lower. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Keep up the good work.

I think a lot of people complain about how Storm brings out new balls and discontinues other that compete with the new stuff. In reality though they are listening to feedback and giving us the equipment we want with improvements and changes to what we don’t like. Isn’t that exactly what they should be doing? I think it is. They don’t discontinue stuff that sells because that means people like it. It’s good business and good for the sport. They try and make exactly what bowlers are looking for without telling us what they think we want.
