Bowling Ball Surface Adjustments

Information provided by Storm Bowling Products

  • Scotch Brites - Use to increase friction. This will result in an earlier and smoother breakpoint.
     
    1. Burgundy - Approximately 320-400 grit
    2. Green - 600 grit
    3. Gray - 800-1,000 grit
  • Abralon Pads - Same effects as Scotch Brites. Pads are made in 180, 360, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 grits.
     
    1. 180 will produce the earliest hook of all pads.
    2. 4000 will produce the most length of all pads.
  • Compound - Use to smooth the surface up to 1,500 grit. This will make the surface shinier, decreasing friction levels through the heads, resulting in a later and sharper transition at the breakpoint.
     
    1. Storm Step 1 - Smooths to 800 grit
    2. Storm Step 2 - Smooths to 1,500 grit
  • Polish - Use to smooth the surface to grits higher than 1,500 grit. This reduces friction levels throughout the entire lane resulting in more length and less backend reaction.
     
    1. Storm Step 3 - Smooths to 2,500 grit
    2. Storm Xtra Shine - Smooths to 3,500 grit
