Well dulling your ball will only make it grab the lane sooner.. Im sure someone has some tips on how to use it because i dont.

If your ball is smoother than 600 grit (800-2000 grit), then a green nylon pad, which is generally considered to be the equivalnet of 600 grit sandpaper, will make it rougher. Then the ball will hook earlier than it did previously.
If your ball was polished, then using a green pad on it will roughen the surface to about 600 grit.

When a ball hooks earlier, it will GENERALLY, but not always hook a little more overall.

BigFish,

There are several ways to alter the surface.  It all depends on what you want the ball to do.  I suggest that you read this article--
