What surface do you guys use on a ball when you want to tame the flip? I have an Unhinged that is allergic to oil and jumpy off the dry. I've already tried to break the shine with a used 2000, but it didn't do enough. I'm thinking about 500 and letting it lane shine, or newspaper over the 500.

I had same issue. Tried multiple surfaces. Sold it

Only thing that matters is you use less surface. Many people have this issue and it all depends on what the current surface is. If you are highly polished, then a 4000 pad can make a difference. If you are at 2000 then perhaps 500 is an option. Main thing is to know what you are starting with so you make a logical choice.

I hope I can find a desirable reaction. I planned to use it as my burn ball, but I can't trust it right now. I appreciate my Hy-Road a ton more now. Some people may love this type of reaction, but I like balls that are predictable.

Yes, this is a good procedure. My only minor qualm is that 500 and huge increase from 2000. Try 1000 first.
The Unhinged can have a rather sharp breakpoint under most circumstances, if your release and the amount of oil on which you're using it permit it. If you've put a flippy drilling on it (high pin or small VAL angle), then you may need more surface than you might think. If you like the ball's basic design, try either a P3 or P4 weight hole, if the CG location permits or redrilling with a larger VAL angle and/or a larger Drill angle.

Your right charlest, I rushed the response and should have put 1000 instead. But the theory is the same.
Competitive bowlers should keep a set of abralon pads in their bag. They don't even have to be brand new. Only thing they need to provide is a change from what is currently on the ball. Key words, more or less surface. The numbers don't matter at that point.
