Cyclone Resurface for Fresh Medium Possible?
« on: January 30, 2013, 10:33:24 PM »
Currently have a cyclone for 2nd/3rd game burnt lanes that works great.It is drilled pin just under ring finger and C/G in middle grip C/L 3.5" apart.

Really like the length with strong B/E. If only it could do the same on Fresh.

Want to get another for fresh medium if it could get some traction on the B/E.

Any rec's on surface change or drilling that might do this without messing up
the length. Thinking 2000 or something but afraid the will read to early and possibly have to much arc.

A stronger drilling and a 1000/4000 surface might do what you are looking for.

Help me out please. I am 95% sure the ball was drilled strong per mfg specs.

I was there with both the pro and driller with my well established PAP.

A comment was said that with the pin ending up just under the ring finger a more controlled action was probable.

So if this happens again do we purposely say put the pin up. With this type of ball there is nothing gained by messing with the C/G or M/B location -- correct?

@pocketsplit: knocking the polish off the ball should definitely help the ball hook more. Your idea of taking the ball to 2000 should be a really good starting point. The 4000+Factory Finish makes for a very weak surface prep. Best thing about making surface adjustments is that you can always get back to OOB finish. Well, close enough anyway.

The GB 10.7 coverstock is very versitile,and could be easily altered to handle all but the heaviest conditions. I have one that is at 2000 with a pin down layout, and is the first ball out of the bag on league night. When the pattern breaks down,I can then switch to my pin up Cyclone which is at 4000 grit, and heavily polished.They make a very nice 1-2 punch.

Thanks for the encouraging news. The house pro basically will not mess with cover stock modifications.
I have two Gamebreakers (over 120 games on each) with the GB10.7 and have been quite successful with with my home spinner trying various finishes to the point one of them is still my go to ball on fresh oil.

Thanks for the suggestions. I took the Cyclone to 2000 and it worked perfect, real nice action on fresh medium wood. Have tried Fringe, Backdraft, Slingslot and the new Frenzy (agreed all not for fresh medium but hoping). Nothing that fits my hand.

I am going to order a couple of Cyclones and sell the others and be done with it.
