With it being so easy to pretty drastically change the reaction of modern equipment by making minor surface modifications (going from 1000-2000-4000 grit, etc.), I've always wondered why the manufacturers place huge engraved logos right in the track area. How can this not affect the reaction when such minor surface changes do affect it? Anyway, just something I've been curious about.

Wive's tale. The switch to laser is because there is no cutting tool to wear out and it is infinitely adjustable. Entertaining story to tell over a beer.

He said they actually got a result of about 21% more pin action from an extremely engraved ball to a unengraved ball. He was saying the sharp edges of the engraving help grip and throw the pins more. So there is another factor we need to keep inn mind. He actually was telling me that is why Ebonite went to the laser etching because it provides a sharper more jagged edge to grip pins.

Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it

Don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand. I, I believe in love.
