Each of the 5 styles produce differing ball ball motions and each style requires different ball surfaces to maximize the bowler's strike potential. Understanding the player's profile will lead you to the most applicable video for the bowler's individual style.

You can use sandpaper, Abralon or SiaAir polishing pads, or non-woven abrasive scrubbing pads for changing the surface of a bowling ball. You can use these items either wet or dry. Experienced Pro Shop operators may have strong opinions about which to use and whether wet or dry but all these methods can achieve the goal, it is just a matter of personal preference.
To resurface the ball in 2 steps, you work the top of the ball and flip 180 degreees to expose the opposite "side." A 4 step method is called "cross-hatching." When cross-hatching, after you first resurface the top of the ball, flip it 180 degrees, work the top of the ball, rotate it 90 degrees, work the top of the ball, then flip it 180 degrees and work the top of the ball. This method insures that all portions of the ball's surface is properly resurfaced. Either method can do the job, it is just a matter of personal preference.
