Anybody played with the surface on the Dream On?
« on: April 03, 2015, 05:48:14 PM »
It seems lately my Dream On has been laboring to make it back to the pocket. I am thinking about hitting the surface with 2000 abralon to see if that helps a bit. Have the Respect for my skid snap ball but sometimes Respect goes down too far and comes in behind head pin thus leaving a lot of corner pins. Was thinking about either 2000 or 1000 on Dream On. I was hoping the Dream On would be my heavy oil ball it just doesn't quite recover enough on the heavy stuff. Might have to pick up the Moxie if my experiment doesn't work. Thanks

I chose the moxie over the dream on and couldn't be happier. I  gave up on asymmetrical equipment about a year ago and havent looked back. Carry, backend and consistency all improved with symmetrical equipment. And no I do bowl on a good amount of oil so the asymmetrical equipment was not burning up just very inconsistent movement.

I often hit my Dream On with 1000 grit by hand during practice sometimes I love that ball.  Try to add a little surface and I think you will get what your looking for.  Good luck

How is the Dream On laboring? Is it burning up energy too quick or is it not reading the lane enough? If it isn't reading the body of the lane enough, then yes add more teeth to the cover. It comes at 4000, so you will see more overall hook at 2000 or 1000. This ball takes to surface changes pretty good. You will not be disappointed if you hit it with a rougher abralon pad.

Thank you.  Ball sure does get lane shine extremely quick. I will hit it with 1000 and see how she rolls. Hopefully that does the trick. Need a ball that hooks on the fresh.

Ryguy, if the ball still labors with the 1000, you may need to shine it a pinch. It could be losing energy. But yes lane shine seems to happen faster with the stronger solids. Pores of those covers are getting stronger. I hope the 1000 does the trick for you.

I've found I have to keep a pretty fresh cover on the dream on. it does absorb oil pretty quickly, but as soon as I hit it with a pad it comes back to life. Doing normal maintenance will definetely help as well. I tried to polish it too, and that gave me a look closer to the original dream just not quite as flippy. I've gone down to as low as 500 grit on my dream on and it reads oil well still at low grit for me. RyGuy119, I do agree it does get lane shine pretty quick, so I thnk keeping the surface at what you want will help a bunch.
