Thank you for explaining the tru cut pads. I was worried that I would lose too much surface from 500 all the way up to the manufacturers' finished surface.
Hi Ron! I have a Vapor Zone Solid and the Out-of-the-box finish my ball had is definitely not a 500/2000 surface - it was much shinier than that and had more length and backend than the stated factory finish of 500/2000. When I used my Tru-cut 2000 pad on my Vapor Zone Solid (using an Innovative ball spinner) my ball was early and lost a lot of backend. Ultimately changing the final grit surface to 3000 (using a SiaAir pad for the final grit) more closely replicated the surface my ball had out of the box. I'm guessing the special surfacing machines that are utilized on balls just prior to shipping account for the difference between what is the stated out-of-box finish and the actual out-of-box finish on a brand new Vapor Zone Solid?
I just got the ctd three pack 2000, 1000, 500 today. I have a dare devil danger that's 1500 polished .. should i just hit it with the 2000 and call it good ? Our lanes are pretty soupy lately.
I understand that different grit number will change how your ball react , but can you sand with the same grit each time you resurface the ball or are you supposed to use a different grit number each time? Thank you.
TruCut pads cut to what the number says on the pad. If you want to know what the grit is we recommend using the pad as stated in the video. Deviations from that technique will make it hard to repeat and even harder to know what the actual grit is.
@@Ctdbowling I can confirm this. I tried 2k, then 500/2k. I used really girly arm on the 2k of the step, it did make a marginal at best difference. Definately too difficult to recreate. This engineered effect is a bonus for the CTD pads. When sanding 6 balls, cut the time down tremendously. I am going through this right now. Testing different grits on many balls. Seeing how they change on my league pattern, which does not change hardly at all. Any chance of more options on volume of cleaner containers.? The 4,8 and 128 oz, is a large step is sizes. Maybe 1 qt size or metric volume container larger than 8 ounces? It is $0.99 for a 2 oz PET spray bottle at Wally World. Which gives a smaller container for the bag, that can be refilled by the consumer from a container. 4 and 8 oz seem good for a league bowler who cleans only before bowling. That should last them a whole season. For us who sand and clean many times, these come up short. And 128 oz is a bit extreme for a single end user.

Great review... good explanation on sanding your ball... Thanks!!!
Been really enjoying the trucut pads, now I need to get your polish so I can put the shine back on when I want.
Read this so you have a deep understanding of how it works. ctdbowling.com/blogs/news/an-understanding-of-polish-and-bowling-balls
Great Job!!

How many times can you use the TruCut pad? Or how do you know when you need to use a new one?
10 to 12 times dry 15 to 18 wet

Yes 2000 grit is a good start.
I understand that different grit number will change how your ball react , but can you sand with the same grit each time you resurface the ball or are you supposed to use a different grit number each time? Thank you.
You can do either, whichever makes the most sense.
Do I sand the ball first with 500 grits then followed by the 2000 grits like the white Brunswick bias? I did fully understand you.
Correction: I did not fully understand your method and explanation with balls finished 500/2000 grit.
Can I sand my pearl bowling ball and does it have to be wet or dry or does it matter?
Yes you can sand it and wet is typically better than dry.
Can i use a 600 grit 3M pad?
Is good to use the TRU cut pads on a pearl ball
Yes watch this ruclips.net/video/xpqub5lg7Qo/видео.html
I have a storm street fight at 3000 grit. This is my first time doing this. I have 360, 800, 1500, and 2000, grit do I use the 2000?
2000 then 3000 TruCut
@@Ctdbowling thanks! I'm trying to get a little more angle and less length like I said firs time doing this so any advice helps at all appreciate it
Hello Mr. Hickland. Can I utilize Mo Pinel's "Skip a Grit" Technique with TrueCut Pads? (ie: Hard 500 / Light 2000) Thank you for your time.
TruCut pads cut to what the number says on the pad. If you want to know what the grit is we recommend using the pad as stated in the video. Deviations from that technique will make it hard to repeat and even harder to know what the actual grit is.
@@Ctdbowling Okay. Thanks for getting back to me so fast. Appreciated. =]

How often can you do this before the Ball loses Performance?
