Surface change on my TNV
« on: March 05, 2007, 10:43:57 PM »
I hear a lot of you guys talking about changing the surface on your TNV to basically wake it up.  I do believe that I am going to have to do the same thing.  I was just wondering what type of change I should make.  I am farely new to  bowling so I really dont know much bowlers lingo so lets keep it simple please.  

Thanks for the help guys

  I just used a 4000 abralon pad to knock the hard gloss off. Worked perfectly.

I've used 2000 Abralon on 2 of my 3 Total NVs to create an earlier and smoother breakpoint.  I've actually experimented with 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000.

I agree with the rest, 2000-4000 abralon with no polish. The ball will still retain length with a better read.

I wetsanded mine to 1200 and absolutly love it. It has a strong midlane and still flips on the backend. Dont be afraid to try different surfaces with this ball till you find one you like.

Well the guy who drills all my balls recommended that I try 600 and then polish it.  It wasn't too bad but I have only threw it for about 4 games.  And I rolled like crap.  I was just way out of time.  I am going to try it again tomorrow night.  I figure I will throw it for a couple of weeks and then try something new.
