Resurface Storm Bowling Balls To Original Factory Finishes
If you wish to
resurface Storm bowling balls to the original factory finishes, here are a few tips provided by Storm included in their "Product and Maintenance Guide" poster offered to pro shops across America. Storm has been a leading brand in the bowling industry for many years and continues to provide top performance lines of
bowling balls. If you own Storm equipment, it is very important to be able to
resurface Storm bowling balls to the original factory finishes when you feel the time and need arises and as suggested by Storm.
Since
Storm bowling balls have various coverstocks which are prepared at factory finishes in varying degrees of grit texture, it is important to be able to restore the ball surfaces at or near factory finish so you can attain the same measure of skid control and back end reaction as when the bowling balls were first acquired.
