Diamond Coverstock Repair???
« on: August 16, 2006, 08:17:08 AM »
My Big Kahuna received a little bit of lane damage while shooting for an 800 series, then overreacted a ton when I tried to continue throwing it. I took it to the pro shop to repair and they couldn't adjust the cover to fix it, too durable I'm assuming...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has ever had to repair the diamond cover before. What tools or method should i use to fix it, or is it even possible???

Thank you

Hey!!! Just cause I'm not an old fart...never mind

But Galen wrote me back and is going to send me some diamond pads to cut the surface. I'm very happy and will definitely consider purchasing some more L/L if the service is this good.

Thanks everyone!

It is... just takes a little time sometimes to get a reply since he wears so many hats and has many areas of responsibility.
