Well i don't have one.. Yet.. I'm waiting to drill mine for when i jump down to 15 lb.. And i know what i'm going to do it..
And i also know the effect of polished or dull..

Thing is, i've only seen 2 people in our area throw the TI.. 3 if U count Tod Grams.. And one is a friend of mine who's on staff.. But she's a girl and keeps her 2 TI's in OOB.. And so does this other bowler i've seen..

Ball isn't getting a lot of play here..

So i'm just tryin to gather some info from people's experience with it..

Thanks for the comparison with Ur Vapor Zone.. That's exactly the kind of info i'm looking for..

Anyone who can compare the Total to the Red Zone? And also polished if possible..

Well I have a TI drilled pin next to ring finger and cg kicked out with x-hole. I think the ball is a good ball but it seems to hook to early and real hard even on heavy oil. Im thinking about polishing the ball to get it to go a little longer. I've split more then I ever have with this ball. I have to swing it out no less then 8 or 9 to keep it on the right side of the lane, even in the heavy stuff. It doesnt hold well if I miss left. Everyone has said, keep the factory finish and work with it, but it seems as if I'm not playing my style with it. I have to play with more hook or throw it faster if I wanna play right and I dont care for changing up speeds a lot. I like to stay consistent with my speed. Upping my speed by 3 or 4 mph is a bit much imo.

Would polish be the best thing for it to be a little smoother out of the break and not so right-to-left?

This ball comes with a ruff buff polish... if you polish it.. make sure you get a polish that helps in the front withput sacrificing hook... This ball is made to handle heavy-med to medium conditions... needs oil and boy this ball recover well

Ok so if I polish this ball will still hook good? And will it still make me play deep left all the time?

I took mine to 1000 grit and then polished it with Brunswick's Factory Polish.  It was still too strong for most of the places that I bowl.  I then put on three coats of Control-It.  That did the trick.  It still has very strong roll, however with more length.  I didn't get the over/under reaction as was stated above.  Just my thoughts.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!
