ok here is my review. been playing with different grits and the Beans polish. first off the equipment used:
Hammer Toxic-pin 4" to pap(next to ring finger) x-hole 1" down from pap
Columbia Action Max-pin up 4 1/2" to pap, x-hole 1" down from pap
ok was bowling on typical fresh house shot. Toxic in oob was hitting 13 at arrows, break point was 5-flush shot. took the polish off and added Beans sauce, first shot went straight and clipped the 10pin...ok threw another, same result. so took the Toxic down to 1000 abralon and added beans polish....same result as first try. so i figured maybe i used too much pressure and polish, so lets try again at 1000 abralon with just a light polish of the beans sauce.
this time the Toxic moved a little hitting the 3-6. bagged the Toxic and went to the Action Max.
Action Max was at 1000 abralon no polish and was playing 15 at arrows and 7 was break point, nice smooth arc. threw beans polish on it, result was ball went straight taking out 6-10. wow i thought this stuff is potent not like the reviews i read. so thinking i was doing something wrong i had my boss(pro shop owner) take the ball down to 500 abralon. threw a few balls at that grit and was playing 18 to 10, ball was hooking way too much. so had him throw a light polish of beans on. out to the lanes i go and was going to play the 15-7 line, this time it hooked a little, but still wasnt in the pocket. made a couple of moves, ended up having a good shot playing straight up 7, with a nice gradual hook to the pocket. thinking maybe it needs to get a track in it i proceeded to bowl 3 games. all 3 were playing straight up 7 with the last game moving left a little. polish never tracked out.
went back to the shop and took the Action Max and Toxic to the spinner to put back to OOB surface. threw 1 coat of magic shine on both and went back to the lanes. Toxic first....was gonna play 13 to 5. ball went a tad further(figured because of fresh polish) but had a snap in the back and carried the light hit. after a game on the toxic i had a great shot 13 to 5 with a good snap on the backend. threw the Action Max a few times on same line and was high flush & through the nose.
so my conclusion is that although the Beans polish was easy to put on and shine up, it was potent as heck. even with a light coat on. maybe i got a bad batch? i dont know, just know what the test results were on my bottle of Beans.
it made both balls go long and keep going. funny side note is before my boss new i was doing a comparable test on both polishes, he thought i was practicing ten pins. i said no im not, just testing out this new polish. and his eyes opened up huge and he said DAMN...LOL
will try again this weekend with different set-ups and maybe a vid.
