What's very interesting to me is the short amount of time on each side of the ball. Everything I've read in the past says the initial grit should be 30 seconds a side. Michael was doing nowhere near that long. Maybe 30 seconds is too long.
Also, is it possible to have the pad too wet? When I do a ball, I hold the pad under the spigot and get it totally soaked. I'll squeeze out just a bit so I don't have a mess, and start sanding. Is this wrong?
I think I'll go ahead and try this method tomorrow and see what my ball reaction is like.

I don't think there is a wrong way to resurface as long as you can replicate your method. I have seen bowlers use dry pads and pads soaked enough to spray water all over the place. There is a difference, but whatever method you use to make the proper adjustments for what you need, that is the correct method.
