Creating the Difference is the leader in bowling ball surface technology. With its TruCut Product Line including the collaborative Turtle Wax Hand Applied Polish, CtD has continued to develop accessory products for bowling.  CtD pioneered the TruCut sanding pad; which is a sanding pad made for bowling balls that cuts the ball at the grit written on the pad. Now, CtD has added a new tool in measuring the surface of a bowling ball: the new CtD Bowling Ball Surface Scanner v1.

This surface scanner takes glossmeter technology and has adapted it to fit the specific needs of bowling ball surface measurement. A glossmeter is an instrument which is used to measure specular reflection gloss of a surface. Gloss is determined by projecting a beam of light at a fixed intensity and angle onto a surface and measuring the amount of reflected light at an equal but opposite angle. This creates a great estimate of the finish of the bowling ball extremely fast, without being destructive. There is no change to the surface of the bowling ball by using this device.  CtD partnered with a global leader in gloss meter technology to develop this new product. The CtD Bowling Ball Surface Scanner v1 works on nearly all bowling ball materials and surfaces. There are two exceptions to this rule: white colored bowling balls and clear bowling balls will not read properly in most cases.  White causes too much reflection for the device to “see” it clearly. Clear doesn’t allow for the light to reflect back enough into the device. This product works exceptionally well for more than 98% of the balls on the market.  There are other technologies that would solve this problem but they are 4 times the price and not nearly as easy to use. 

The CtD Ball Surface Scanner v1 is a fast and easy solution to the difficult problem of knowing what surface is actually on your bowling ball. 

The hard truth is bowling balls change surface through use. Depending on the starting grit it can change very fast. Watch this video to learn more.

Sanded bowling balls go up in surface; while polished bowling balls go down.  A bowling ball will typically stop changing surface once it reaches 4700 grit. We call this grit STABLE on the scanner.  This change is commonly called lane shine. CLICK here if you want to learn more about the real reason your bowling ball changes.
