Why You Should Resurface
Your Ball and How Often
The more you take care of your expensive bowling ball investment, the longer your balls will last and react how they're intended to.
We recommend resurfacing your ball every 60 games. That may sound like a lot but read on to see WHY you should do that!
Modern bowling balls have voids in the cover stock creating peaks and valleys think of the teeth of a saw blade. As the ball rolls down the lane the lane surface will wear down peaks and the lane oil will fill in the valleys. This will smooth out the cover and eventually make the ball stop hooking. It is recommended that every 60 games the ball be resurfaced and the oil extracted from the cover stock. By removing the oil and sanding the ball to a fresh surface it will restore the peaks and valleys allowing the ball to hook once again.
We have the Ball Surface Scanner to ensure we return the ball to it's original surface. Read more about the scanner by Clicking here

Bowling Ball Surface
Management
A bowling ball coverstock’s surface roughness is a key component of how, how much, and where it hooks on the lane. Using the proper surface finish for the conditions you are bowling on can literally mean the difference between success and failure in today’s game. Unfortunately, many bowlers who are trying to improve their games often ignore surface management. Here are some quick tips for better understanding this important topic.
- 1Don’t be afraid to experiment Many bowlers believe that a ball can’t be altered from its factory finish. This is simply not true. Manufacturers choose their factory finishes so that their balls will best suit the general bowling public. You should never be afraid to try different surface finishes to better tune a ball to your game and your bowling environment.
- 2Shiny / polished surface finishes: A polished surface will generally hook very little in the oiled part of the lane, saving most of its hook for the dry back end. Polished balls
generally have an angular change of direction downlane when they encounter dry boards. - 3Dull / sanded surface finishes A sanded surface will have more of a tendency to start hooking in the oiled portion of the lane. This tends to create a longer hook zone and a less angular back end motion.
- 4Know the rules The USBC does not allow surface adjustments after the start of play. That means all surface adjustments must be completed before the end of practice.Hopefully these tips will at least inspire you to learn more about how surface adjustments can be used to improve your game. Have a discussion with your pro shop operator about your balls’ surfaces…better matched ball surfaces just might be the thing you need to break through to the next level.Source: "Bowling Ball Surface Management" by Tyrel Rose (Bowling This Month)
