anyone polish their ANGER?
« on: August 01, 2007, 11:47:56 PM »
I'm buying my 2nd ANGER early next week.  I'm curious if anyone has polished their ANGER?  If yes, how much more length difference did you see compared to it's box finish?

The ANGER is one hell of a ball.

I did. I just polished on top of the OOB finish, but then took it back to 2000. It did add a couple of feet in length but mostly made it more angular. Which I did not want for this ball. The one thing I did like is that it still had that great midlane read after being polished. Having a second one drilled and polished is a great idea.

I totally believe that a bowler can build a nice solid arsenal using several of the same ball.  One can be dulled, one polished and the other in box condition.  I believe this could all be done with using the same layout as well.  If one wanted different reaction shapes then they could always use different layouts.

A ball arsenal is built with the idea of using different balls with different coverstock's to cover all lane conditions.  Well since the coverstock is the most important part of the balls reaction, using a few of the same ball but changing the cover grits could achieve the same results.  Of course this can only be done with certain bowling balls.

I built an all DOOM arsenal once.  It was a really good arsenal that worked on a ton of conditions.  I think a bowler could do this with the ANGER.  

The ANGER can cover a lot of conditions in it's box finish.  Adding a 2nd ANGER to the mix, with some polish, will really widen the conditions this ball can be used on.

The ANGER is one awesome bowling ball.

A-h-h. Grasshopper, you are on the correct path!

A nice dose of "Bean's Special Sauce", will do the trick.

You'll have to give me pins, when we bowl, when you get the 2nd (& probably 3rd) ANGER.....That's an impressive ball!

I completly agree. I have done this as well with a Columbia Wrath.
