I'm shocked at the backend reaction on that ball.

Is it 2 part pearl, 1 part solid? Or is that just how the colors are listed and the pearl in the color doesn't affect the ball reaction?

Could you explain what 500 500 500 4000 means?  I interprete that as being four rotations of the ball.  Which rotataion receives the 4000?  Is that the ball  after being rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then rotated 180 degrees?

What happens when the surface is changed to 2k?  Anything done like that yet?

hmmmm i didnt realize how different the core is compared to the other balls like the bedlam, pure swing, and full swing. I didnt know they added a pancake to the top like hammer does! interesting!

I am looking at this ball, and the new Hammer Jigsaw corner. Since this is in the same family of manufacturers, I think from what I have seen, the new Corner has a liitle more length, but more back end than the Total Bedlam. I have seen both, and they are impressive. What are your guys recommendation for a tweener that wants a step down from the Original Jigsaw (average rev rate).

The 500 500 4000 4000 finish means you finish the ball at 500 for a minute, flip it, do 500 for a minute, switch pads and do 4000 for a minute, flip ball and do 4000 for a minute

The literature stated 500 500 500 then 4000 so 1 minute for three sides at 500 and then one side at 4000?  Maybe, that's a typo?

I believe when they sand it, it is sanding the entire ball. Not just one side. You cannot have different parts of a ball with different surfaces. ie polish on half the ball and sanded on the other half. The entire ball is sanded 3 times with 500 grit then once with 4000.

Interesting...when I looked up how to change surfaces on my storm and rotogrip balls their instructions is to sand two sides with 500 and two sides with whatever the final grit is.  Depending on the OOB the time varies.  

But that''s only changing the surface and not preparing a ball after it''s just been made.  Sanding it three times with 500 grit one minute at time..what does that do to a bowling ball surface?

The 500/500/500/4000 refers to the finishing process at the Ebonite Int. factory.  They have a machine with four resurfacers, one in front of the other.  For this finish the first 3 have 500 abralon pads on them.  The last has 4000.  The balls start at the front, then moves to each machine spending a minute in each one.  So basically you get a ball that is on the resurfacer for 3 minutes at 500 grit and one minute on the 4000 pad.

Interesting, is that standard practice with all balls?  I mean sanding it that many times.
