I was wondering if anyone has polished up their fury yet and if it took the change well. I was thinking about putting a little shine on mine to get a little more length out of it and save some power for the backend and when it hits the pins.

Let me know.....
Thanks

A lot of people have and to great success. In fact, it seems like the people who took it up had more success. Like you want it saves energy by skidding more and then has a bigger backend reaction.

How is yours drilled?

its drilled 2E on their chart.

I am hoping that putting a little shine on it will also make it a little more versatile. The problem that i have with it now is that it is very condition specific to higher volumes of oil. Hopefully, with the polish on it, i will be able to use it a little bit longer than i do now and not have to play such a huge swing shot.

The people that have polished it on here, did they bring the surface up at all? did they bring it up to 2000grit and then polish it or what? I am wanting ideas on how to tell me pro shop guy to do it for me.

300,

Here is a post that appeared last week:

Absolutely it retains more energy when it is shined. But you know how some coverstocks, Brunswick or otherwise, seem to get squirty on carrydown when you polish them. The Fury doesn't get squirty. It reads the backend like there is no carrydown, where other balls tend to "wiggle" downlane.

I would have to agree with Reality. We have taken the Fury up with Abralon, Scotchbrite, sandpaper and polish with no loss of backend reaction. And like Reality stated, even with polish it doesn't wiggle on carrydown.

I hope you can change your name soon to 300ishere!!

I've got two. One dull, one shiny. They're both awesome on different conditions, do not be afraid to shine....

would you guys suggest bringing it up to say, 2000 grit and then putting some polish on it? or would you suggest some other grit to bring it up to?

I'm about to leave for the alley now, any info would be greatful.

personally my go to grit for any ball seems to be 600 grit + rubbing compound (rough buff), but most likely I'm a different bowler.

I agree that you should take it up in stages, so try what MegaMav is suggesting. That's about where I have mine and the rough buff got it pretty shiny. If you need more length you can always go up from there, but to go from one extreme to another is sometimes hard to get the ball to read the lane soon enough.

This finish seems to be the best of both worlds, better length, less burn of polished balls, but controlled traction of a dull ball, love it!

I took one of mine up to 4000 Abralon in stages. I went 500 - 1000 - 2000 and the finished at 4000. No polish needed. It looked as if I had used a polish and it made the ball very strong down lane. I still appears to roll heavy in oil, yet the sharpness of the breakpoint increased nicely.

I kept the ball at OBO grit, and applied rough buff to it, and i LOVE it. I could definitely tell that it was reserving some power for the end. It was like it was hitting like a completely different ball.

thanks for everyone's input.

Once the rough buff wears off just take it to 1000 abralon and don't worry about it, that way you get a similar reaction that lasts.

I did the same as BrunsBob. I took my High pin up to 4000 abralon. It looks like it has been polished. I find this method more consisitent than using polishes, especiallyt rough buff.
