Coverstock changes
« on: December 16, 2006, 08:45:59 AM »
Why buy a ball for one condition, and change the coverstock to bowl on another condition? Buy a hook monster oil ball and polish is it to bowl on a THS. Or buy a weak ball and dull it up to bowl on more oil. I can understand tweaking a particular ball for the condition it was meant for, but why the major changes for a ball not meant for the conditions it was meant for. I.E a bowler i know bought a Infinite One and polished it to the point it was a Whirlwind! Just curious?

Why?  Because they can... I'll keep it simple for now, but I could  elaborate.

Simply put, because not everyone knows exactly what any one ball is preciselty for.

 Besides, surface changes are just fine tuning a ball's reaction, unless you're going from 4000 grit to 600 grit, of course. Going from 800 grit to 1200 grit is perfectly fine; even to 1500 grit. From 4000 to 600 or 1000 to 4000 is having bought the wrong ball, which is also understandable.
