I was out of town for a tournament on memorial weekend and there was a staffer throwing one and it looked good. Alot more in the back than I expected but still very smooth.

Indeed I bowl with Johnny petraglia he has three punched up. They're smooth and deliberate but finish nicely.

His was just a label layout, around a 4" pin to pap.

Just drilled one up for Corey Clayton, 4 1/2" to PAP, 40 deg to VAL, no x-hole. Good length, smooth with a little pop on the backend w/OOB finish. Knocked the surface w/2000 siiar, which made it much more readable.

They will be different.. 2000 Abralon will not be the exact same as 2000 Siaair  ..or whatever numbers Siaair uses..

They use different abrasives but they use the same grading system, FEPA. So P2000 grit FEPA = P2000 grit FEPA, whether it is applied by an Abralon pad or a Siaair Velvet pad or by a wet/dry sandpaper.

I had found the Siaair to last slightly longer and to cost slightly less than an Abralon pad.

yes same grading system but I heard the finish and reaction is slightly different between the two manufacturers..

That may be do to the fact that the SIAAIR last and cut the same for a longer period of time. I have not personally tested them though.

I just got my avalanche pearl.  I didn't use angles to lay it out, sorry.. but I put the pin about an inch above the ring finger and the CG kicked right of the ring finger a bit.. 5" pin to PAP. PAP 5 1/2 over and 3/8 up.. cg ended up just above the midline and to the right of the ring finger..

Ball is definitely weak and smooth.. when I hit the dry the ball didn't jump off of it at all.. Lanes were way to slick for the ball ..
I will try it again on my Tuesday league where the lanes are usually toasted..
Will report back then..
