Surface Adjustment

Post by rf67pccb »

With all things as equal as possible. What is the difference with the surface sanded at 500 between say a Gem pearl and a Gem hybrid? Or any pearl, solid or hybrid generally?

At 500 grit, probably not a lot, but which cover will lose grit/ shine up the quickest over time?

We would have to have the same coverstock in those 3 versions to test this. I also think the difference would be small. But it might fluctuate depending on what conditions the ball is used on.

I have plans on testing that, but the only 2 bowling balls that i had with same coverstock but one solid one pearl, are gone. One cracked and one i gave away. So i will check other solid coverstocks and pearl coverstocks at some point, and see if there is a trend. Keep an eye out on my channel --> https://www.youtube.com/@bowlingxp8345/videos
