Box Surface
« on: February 01, 2010, 10:13:05 AM »
Ok i had some trouble getting my Invasion to get through the heads with box surface. So i hit it with a 2000 abralon pad and it got through the same as a 4000 box. So i hit it with a 4000 pad and it made it shinier. So i threw it and now i think it truly has its full hook potential.

I feel like doing that, it really doesn''t matter what the "finish" is because all that matters is the 500 underneath and not easing up the grits.

Obviously, you aren''t a golfer.
Some stayed in the foothills, some washed logs like teeth.



yes.  Storm, ebo, hammer,columbia are all doing this.  Dunno about bwick.

Brunswick too. Some of theirs is 500 grit, then 2000 grit. Others are 500 grit, then 4000 grit.

Everyone''s on this freaking bandwagon.

That''s interesting.  Let''s take the new Jigsaw Corner as an example.  The ball comes 500 pad, then 4000 pad.  If I were to take this same ball, go 360 - 500 - 1000 - 2000 - 4000, how different will my reaction be?  Has anybody tried?  I have my ideas, but I''d love to hear some stories and experiences.

The finish of the ball will be smoother

The Storm tech dept explained to me that it is all about ra and rs factors.

RA= how deep the ridges are from valley to peak

RS= the contour of the ridges at the top of the spike.

If you start with p500 you dig deep and sharp ridges so ra and rs factors are high. By then skipping to p4000 you round the points at the top while still keeping deep overall ridges.

If you go step by step (500, 1000, 2000, 4000) then you will decrease the depth of the ridges at every interval and therefore your p4000 finishing surface will be less overall hook than the aforementioned process of skipping to the final grit.

Now....this is still useful. Let's say you have a VG a p4000 and it is still burning up a bit.....going step by step will allow you to decrease friction without having to go to polish.

But if you want to duplicate oob performance then skipping to the final surface grit after putting "teeth" in it is the way to go.

So, after I get it to 500 grit, then do I use a spinner on 4 sides with 4000 grit? or do you lightly buff it by hand?
