Today’s practice was a continuation of a trend I’ve been noticing for a couple of weeks now…not getting the reaction out of my ball that I normally do, even on the house shot. Noting that to my chat pals, the fact that I’ve had the High-Voltage for about a year now, and that I’ve only recently had it rejuvenated, we agreed it was time to give the ball a resurface. “CoachJim,” however, said he wouldn’t take it to factory finish, however, and that I could experiment, with the gang helping me get the surface to what works for me. A procedure of sanding the ball with 240 abralon sandpaper, rejuvenating, hitting it again w/ the 240 abralon sandpaper, then rough buffing was suggested. I made the rare return to the lanes when the pro shop opened and relayed this to Ray, who said he could have the ball ready when the pro shop opens in the late afternoon tomorrow. It’s not a full resurface, so the procedure will only set me back $20. I plan on practicing again tomorrow just to see the results.
