Title: Burn surface
Post by: strikestriketapped on October 19, 2009, 02:40:10 PM

What surface do you all have your Burns at? Polish doesn't seem to be working for me, factory polish or my own. Thinking of taking it down to 3000 (Valentino pad). In a polished state I can't seem to get a consistent reaction, too over/under.

When I tried my Burn at the factory finish it was too long and over/under.

I took the ball to 2000 with polish and that helped but still didn't give me what I wanted.

I took the ball to 500 grit with Resurrection and then a light coat of Sauce and it has been working great at that combination.

Overall I think the best combination for this ball (due to it's inherent length) is to drill the ball for a bit more aggressive midlane then tweak the surface to get the length back to where you want it.

mine was a little over/under also, so i just lightly hit it with a 2000 abralon to knock off some of the polish.  It was WAY too skid flip in oob surface.  now it has a little bit midlane and a very strong move on the backend.

500/4000 Polished. Much more predictable, still strong off the spot.
