Title: horizon coverstock
Post by: strikeordie on July 20, 2006, 10:20:05 PM: Has anyone altered their horizon coverstock? I was thinking about taking mine down to 1000 grit. Just curious to see how it performs.

voyage, I did knock the shine of and it
retained the same movement just a tad
smoother when it starts doing its thang.
Scuffing a pearl ball is one of my favorite
things to do and I've had much sucess with it.
Haven't thrown it on league breakdown yet
so it is a work in progress.

I do that to 99% of the balls that leave my shop that are factory polished just to ensure that we can get the same reaction at a later date. BTW, my favorite Horizon coverstock condition is that with a lightly scuffed gray pad.
