I have mine drilled label with the finish OOB. It rolls like a urethane ball should. It hooks in the midlane and gentlely arcs to the pocket. With surface changes what have people seen? Curious what 1k or 4k changes did to the reaction of the ball. I have an idea but I am wondering what happens in the real world.

Changed mine to 4000 plus Ebonite extender polish, I love it! One of my favorite balls on house shot, definitely top two. I'll probably try it on sport shot this weekend at a tournament I'm bowling in

I sanded it down and boy did it read the lane early! Now I have it at 320-grit wet/dry sandpaper, compound, plus polish. The Natural polishes up a lot nicer (and easier) than my old Hammer Urethane.

I got this ball and it was hooking way too much for me, I had it polished and it polishes just as well if not better than any ball out there. The reactions tend to be the same, the more you polish the farther it goes down the lane before arcing smoothly to the pocket. I kinda look at the different polishes as steps, each step more polished the later it starts the arc.

Got to bowl the natural on the 35ft Junior Gold pattern at pepsi tournament a few weekends ago. I actually didn't bowl it but once during practice. I was throwing my triple x factor and then left a very strange spare in the first frame. I was thinking that I should stick with it a few more frames and I was like what the heck, might as well go to the natural. First four shots with it were strikes. I think I ended with a 207, so not to bad. The ball worked great and helped me play a much straighter line, and it didn't just jump off of the dry if I missed a little left.
