Archon?
« on: October 26, 2007, 10:41:26 PM »
What is the OOB finish on it?

I love the ball...want to knock the cover down a little.
Am thinking of 2000 grit Abralon?
Any ops on it?

TIA

Should be the normal Brunswick factory polished finish.  I have my Ravage at a light scuff with a gray pad, and I've kept my Archon OOB for more reaction separation.

I've seen some Archons look polished and like yours J MAC, look sanded.

J Mac, with the drilling on the Archon, what type of reaction do you get?



Ignores the first 30' of the lane... Late midlane read, lots of revs through the pins.  I carry some strange hits with this ball.  I can use it pretty much all night, but I'll put it away once it stops carrying and switch to my Ravage which is earlier and does a better job of ignoring carrydown.

This is pretty much an asymmetrical flip layout, I just opted to go with the dual angle layout technique rather than using the recommended drill sheet layout for a.f. layouts.
