0 5/21/07
This chart has comparison's of several bowling related product's and several standard grit charts. Also there are some charts of various product's below.
Note grit comparison charts can vary alot, this is do to the tolerance ranges used by different company's and association's.
Like CAMI which has a wide tolerance range and FEPA which has a tighter range. So one chart might say two product's have the same grit and another chart will say they don't.
