I also have a hyroad x and I use 1500/3000/p5000d by hand to get the factory look and finish just no polish on it and I throw it all the time and I let it get to 4700 grit or stable as you said and I loved it . I touch up the surface with the same surface again every half way through the season. And ALOT of my bowling balls from spi are 1500 grit polished and you the same surface on them.
What’s the difference in effectiveness by using LAD on top of the Polish vs using after the sanding process. I think LAD would absorb better when the ball has “open pores”. Let me know if I’m in left field with this thought.
@@kevinstoops2623 I'm not sure if the surface of the ball affects its ability to absorb liquid or the tackifying solution in LAD. The roughness will affect the flow of fluid on the surface, i.e. lane oil when a ball is travelling down lane, but not its asborption. Look up boundary layer theory if you want to learn more.
I’ve read another commenter say that he broke his finger when he got it caught in a hole while using a ball spinner. He recommended using a device so there’s no chance of catching your finger or to always have your fingers pointing with the spin not against. I’m listening to that advice.
Question here: Is there a way to restore the polish on a bowling ball that has been exposed to the elements for a fifth of a century? My Grandfather's bowling ball had been sitting on his porch since I was a little kid, about 20 years ago. And only last year, after my grandmother had passed away, was it removed, my Dad having brought it home. It's surface is powdery, but currently show no cracking.

Good video Dustin!
Nice video. What backing product are you using to stick the pads on, and is it available? Thanks
It’s called the trucut stabilipad

My thought also. I do use LAD after sanding before I polish
Thats what I thought..@@kevinstoops2623

Great job
When you used the scuff remover, you took some of the polish off... but good job
All it did was take off some of the dirt and residue that’s left from resurfacing and polishing

I'm looking to refinish it and present it to my Dad for Christmas this year.
Can’t wait to be walking on that carpet again 😂
Can you use car wax on the bowling ball
If you would like to clog the pores you could, but we wouldn't recommend doing that.
@@Ctdbowling is there bowling wax
