Question: When should I sand versus polish my bowling ball?
Answer:
Sand your ball (lower grit) when you need earlier hook or more midlane traction on heavier oil. Polish it when you need more length or a sharper backend on drier lanes. Most bowlers keep multiple balls with different surfaces so they can match the right reaction to the current lane conditions.
